HOW TO OPERATE THE STEPPER

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE In addition, you can connect the stepper to your VCR and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocassettes are available separately). Video programs offer the same benefits as iFIT.com CD programs, but add the excitement of working out with a class and an instructorthe hottest new trend at health clubs. With the stepper connected to your computer, you can also go to our new internet site at www.iFIT.com and access basic programs, audio programs, and video programs directly from the internet. And by adding an optional upgrade module to the stepper, you can use virtually endless features from our internet site. See www.iFIT.com for complete details. To purchase an optional upgrade module, see page 15. For information about the availability of iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call toll-free 1-800-884-0620. HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER Hold the handgrips or the hanHandgrips dlebars and step onto the pedals. Begin stepping, alternately pressing down the right and left Handlebars pedals with a smooth, continuous motion. Because the pedals move Pedals 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.

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 button. 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 personal trainer right in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the stepper to your home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special iFIT.com CD programs (CDs 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 motivation. Each CD features two programs designed by certified personal trainers.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE The innovative stepper requires no batteries or external power source. Instead, power is supplied by a built-in generator as you step. Note: To operate the SPEED buttons, you must step at a speed of 25 steps per minute or faster for a minimum of 2 minutes. Follow the steps below to use the manual mode.

Note: After a SPEED button is pressed, it may take several seconds for the selected speed setting to be reached. You must step at a speed of 25 steps per minute or faster for the SPEED buttons to operate. Note: When you finish exercising, you must press the SPEED + button to adjust the speed to the maximum setting. Otherwise, it will be difficult to step at a speed of 25 steps per minute in order to activate the SPEED buttons the next time the stepper is used.

Begin stepping. To activate the console, simply begin stepping. After a moment, the entire display will light for two seconds; the console will then be ready for use.

Watch your progress with the program display, the training zone display, and the LED displays. The program displayWhen the manual mode or the iFIT.com mode is selected, the program display will show a triangle representing a hill. As you exercise, the triangle will disappear except for one flashing indicator. The indicators in the triangle will then light in sequence until the entire triangle is again lit. Each time the entire triangle lights, you have completed 200 steps. The training zone displayThe training zone display will show the approximate intensity level of your exercise. For example, if three or four indicators in the display are lit, the display shows that your intensity level is ideal for fat burning. The left LED displayAs you exercise, the left display will show the elapsed time, the total number of steps you have completed, and the approximate number of vertical feet you have stepped. The display will change from one number to the next every seven seconds, as shown by the indicators around the display. Note: When a workout program is selected, the left display will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time.

Select the manual mode. When the console is activated, the manual mode will be selected and Manual the manual indiIndicator cator will light. If you have selected a workout program or the iFIT.com mode, press the SELECT WORKOUT button repeatedly until the manual indicator lights.

Adjust your stepping speed as desired. As you exercise, adjust your stepping speed by pressing the SPEED buttons. Each time a button is pressed, the speed setting will change by one step per minute; if a button is held down, the setting will change in increments of five steps per minute. The speed setting can be from 25 to 120 steps per minute. When the SPEED button is pressed, the resistance of the pedals will increase and your stepping speed will decrease; when the + button is pressed, the resistance will decrease and you will have to increase your stepping speed to prevent both pedals from sinking to the floor.

The right LED displayAs you exercise, the right display will show your current stepping speed, in steps per minute, and the approximate numbers of calories and fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING on

page 17). The display will change from one number to the next every seven seconds, as shown by the indicators around the display. Note: If the pedals are not moved for several seconds, the console will automatically turn off.

HOW TO USE WORKOUT PROGRAMS The stepper requires no batteries or external power source. Instead, power is supplied by a generator as you step. Note: To operate the SPEED buttons, you must step at a speed of 25 steps per minute or faster. Follow the steps below to use a workout program.

The speed settings for the next five periods will be shown in the five columns to the right. When only three seconds remain in the first period of the program, both the Current Period column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all speed settings will move one column to the left. The speed setting for the second period will then be shown in the flashing Current Period column and the stepper will automatically adjust to the second speed setting. The program will continue in this way until the speed setting for the last period is shown in the Current Period column and the last period ends. Note: If the speed setting for the current period is too fast or too slow, you can manually override the setting by pressing the SPEED buttons. Every few times a button is pressed, an additional indicator will light or darken in the Current Period column. (If any of the columns to the right of the Current Period column have the same number of lit indicators as the Current Period column, an additional indicator may light or darken in those columns as well.) If you manually override the speed setting, when the next period of the program begins, the stepper will automatically adjust to the speed setting for the next period. Note: If you stop stepping for several seconds, the console will automatically turn off. To reactivate the console, simply resume stepping.

Begin stepping to activate the console. To activate the console, simply begin stepping. After a moment, the entire display will light for two seconds; the console will then be ready for use.

Select one of the six workout programs. When the console Program Indicator is activated, the manual mode will be selected and the manual indicator will light. To select one of the workout programs, press the SELECT WORKOUT button repeatedly until one of the six program indicators lights. Note: A moment after a program is selected, the program display will show the first six speed settings of the program (see step 3).

Begin stepping to start the program. Each program is Current Period divided into several individual time periods. Each period is one, two, three, or four minutes long. One speed setting is programmed for each period. The speed setting for the first period will be shown in the flashing Current Period column of the program display.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Aerobic Exercise If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be aerobic. Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone. HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE Stop exercising and place two fingers on your wrist as shown. Take a six-second heartbeat count, and multiply the result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. (A six-second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the desired level. WORKOUT GUIDELINES Each workout should include the following three parts: To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above your age. The three numbers are your training zone. The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the recommended heart rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise. Fat Burning To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone as you exercise. For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
