HOW TO OPERATE THE STEPPER
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a variety of features to
help you get the most from your workouts.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
stepping speed can be changed with a touch of a but-
ton. As you exercise, the program display, the training
zone display, and the two LED displays will provide
continuous exercise feedback.
In addition, the console offers six workout programs.
Each program automatically changes the stepping
speed as it guides you through an effective workout.
The console also features new iFIT.com interactive
technology. IFIT.com technology is like having a per-
sonal trainer right in your home. Using a stereo audio
cable (available at electronics stores), you can connect
the elliptical crosstrainer to your home stereo, portable
stereo, or computer and play special iFIT.com CD pro-
grams (CDʼs are available separately). IFIT.com CD
programs automatically control the stepping speed as
a personal trainer coaches you through every step of
your workout. High-energy music provides added moti-
vation. Each CD features two programs designed by
certified personal trainers.
n addition, you can connect the stepper to your VCR
a
nd TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas-
settes are available separately). Video programs offer
t
he same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add
the excitement of working out with a class and an
instructor—the hottest new trend at health clubs.
With the stepper connected to your computer, you can
also go to our new Web site at www.iFIT.com and
access audio programs and video programs directly
from the internet.

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER
Hold the hand-
grips or the han-
dlebars and step
onto the pedals.
Begin stepping,
alternately press-
ing down the
right and left
pedals with a
smooth, continu-
ous motion.
Because the
pedals move
independently of
each other, you
must maintain a
continuous
motion or both
pedals will sink to
the floor. Change the height of your step or adjust the
stepping speed until you can comfortably maintain a
continuous motion (see step 3 on page 8).
As you step, you can exercise your upper leg muscles
by keeping your feet flat on the pedals. To focus on
your calf muscles, rise on your toes as you step.
Stand erect or lean forward slightly as you exercise.
Always keep your back straight in order to avoid
injury.
