FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features 
designed to make your workouts more effective and 
enjoyable. 
When you use the manual mode of the console, you 
can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch 
of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide 
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure 
your heart rate using the handgrip heart rate monitor.
The console offers fourteen preset workoutsiseven 
weight loss and seven performance workouts. Each 
preset workout automatically changes the resistance 
of the pedals and prompts you to vary your pedaling 
speed as it guides you through an effective workout.
 The console also features the iFit interactive workout 
system, which enables the console to accept iFit cards 
containing workouts designed to help you achieve 
specific fitness goals. 
For example, lose unwanted pounds with the 8-week 
Weight Loss workout. iFit workouts control the resis-
tance of the pedals while the voice of a personal trainer 
coaches you through your workouts. iFit cards are 
available separately. To purchase iFit cards, go to 
www.iFit.com or call 1-888-533-1333. iFit cards are 
also available at select stores.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player 
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite 
music or audio books while you exercise.
