HOW TO OPERATE THE STEPPER DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE n 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 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. To purchase iFIT.com CDʼs and videocassettes, call toll-free 1-800-735-0768. HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER 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 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 programs (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 motivation. Each CD features two programs designed by certified personal trainers. Hold the hand- grips or the handlebars and step Handgrips onto the pedals. Begin stepping, alternately press- ing down the right and left pedals with a Handlebars smooth, continu- ous 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. 7
