HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

The innovative stepper requires no batteries orexternal power source. Instead, power is supplied bya built-in generator as you step. Note: To operate theSPEED buttons, you must step at a speed of 25 stepsper minute or faster for a minimum of 2 minutes.

Follow the steps below to use the manual mode.

Begin stepping.

To activate the console, simply begin stepping.After a moment, the entire display will light fortwo seconds; the console will then be ready foruse.

Select the manual mode.

When the consoleis activated, themanual mode willbe selected andthe manual indi-cator will light. Ifyou have select-ed a workout program or the iFIT.com mode,press the SELECT WORKOUT button repeatedlyuntil the manual indicator lights.

Adjust your stepping speed as desired.

As you exercise,adjust your step-ping speed bypressing theSPEED buttons.Each time a but-ton is pressed,the speed setting will change by one step perminute; if a button is held down, the setting willchange in increments of five steps per minute.The speed setting can be from 25 to 120 stepsper minute.

When the SPEED “–” button is pressed, theresistance of the pedals will increase and yourstepping speed will decrease; when the “+” but-ton is pressed, the resistance will decrease andyou will have to increase your stepping speed toprevent both pedals from sinking to the floor.

Note: After a SPEED button is pressed, it maytake several seconds for the selected speed set-ting to be reached. You must step at a speed of25 steps per minute or faster for the SPEEDbuttons to operate.

Note: When you finish exercising, you mustpress the SPEED “+” button to adjust thespeed to the maximum setting. Otherwise, itwill be difficult to step at a speed of 25 stepsper minute in order to activate the SPEEDbuttons the next time the stepper is used.

Watch your progress with the program display,the training zone display, and the LED displays.

The program display—Whenthe manual modeor the iFIT.commode is selected,the program dis-play will show a tri-angle representing a hill. As you exercise, the tri-angle will disappear except for one flashing indi-cator. The indicators in the triangle will then lightin sequence until the entire triangle is again lit.Each time the entire triangle lights, you have com-pleted 200 steps.

The training zonedisplay—The train-ing zone displaywill show theapproximate inten-sity level of yourexercise. For example, if three or four indicatorsin the display are lit, the display shows that yourintensity level is ideal for fat burning.

The left LED dis-play—As you exer-cise, the left displaywill show theelapsed time, thetotal number ofsteps you havecompleted, and the approximate number of verticalfeet you have stepped. The display will changefrom one number to the next every seven seconds,as shown by the indicators around the display.Note: When a workout program is selected, theleft display will show the time remaining in theprogram instead of the elapsed time.

HOW TO USE WORKOUT PROGRAMS

The stepper requires no batteries or external powersource. Instead, power is supplied by a generator asyou step. Note: To operate the SPEED buttons, youmust step at a speed of 25 steps per minute or faster.

Follow the steps below to use a workout program.

Begin stepping to activate the console.

To activate the console, simply begin stepping.After a moment, the entire display will light fortwo seconds; the console will then be ready foruse.

Select one of the six workout programs.

When the consoleis activated, themanual mode willbe selected andthe manual indica-tor will light. Toselect one of theworkout programs,press the SELECT WORKOUT button repeatedlyuntil one of the six program indicators lights. Note:A moment after a program is selected, the pro-gram display will show the first six speed settingsof the program (see step 3).

Begin stepping to start the program.

Each program isdivided into sever-al individual timeperiods. Each peri-od is one, two,three, or four min-utes long. Onespeed setting isprogrammed for each period. The speed settingfor the first period will be shown in the flashingCurrent Period column of the program display.

The speed settings for the next five periods will beshown in the five columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first periodof the program, both the Current Period columnand the column to the right will flash, a series oftones will sound, and all speed settings will moveone column to the left. The speed setting for thesecond period will then be shown in the flashingCurrent Period column and the stepper will auto-matically adjust to the second speed setting. Theprogram will continue in this way until the speedsetting for the last period is shown in the CurrentPeriod column and the last period ends.

Note: If the speed setting for the current period istoo fast or too slow, you can manually overridethe setting by pressing the SPEED buttons. Everyfew times a button is pressed, an additional indi-cator will light or darken in the Current Period col-umn. (If any of the columns to the right of theCurrent Period column have the same number oflit indicators as the Current Period column, anadditional indicator may light or darken in thosecolumns as well.) If you manually override thespeed setting, when the next period of the pro-gram begins, the stepper will automatically adjustto the speed setting for the next period.

Note: If you stop stepping for several seconds,the console will automatically turn off. To reacti-vate the console, simply resume stepping.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan yourexercise program.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen yourcardiovascular system, the key to achieving thedesired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.The proper intensity level can be found by using yourheart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fatburning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your agenear the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off tothe nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbersabove your age. The three numbers are your “trainingzone.” The lowest number is the recommended heartrate for fat burning; the middle number is the recom-mended heart rate for maximum fat burning; and thehighest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.During the first few minutes of exercise, your bodyuses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise doesyour body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of yourexercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-ber in your training zone as you exercise.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of yourexercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-ber in your training zone as you exercise.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygenfor prolonged periods of time. This increases thedemand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobicexercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise untilyour heart rate is near the highest number in yourtraining zone.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE

Stop exercising andplace two fingers onyour wrist as shown.Take a six-second heart-beat count, and multiplythe result by 10 to findyour heart rate. Forexample, if your six-sec-ond heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140beats per minute. (A six-second count is usedbecause your heart rate will drop rapidly when youstop exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your exerciseuntil your heart rate is at the desired level.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretchingand light exercise. A proper warm-up increases yourbody temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-ration for exercise.

Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-utes of exercising with your heart rate in your trainingzone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your trainingzone for longer than 20 minutes.)

A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Thiswill increase the flexibility of your muscles and willhelp to prevent post-exercise problems.

WORKOUT FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete threeworkouts each week, with at least one day of restbetween workouts. After a few months of regular exer-cise, you may complete up to five workouts each weekif desired. The key to success is to make exercise aregular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

WARNING: Before beginning thisor any exercise program, consult your physi-cian. This is especially important for personsover the age of 35 or persons with pre-existinghealth problems.
