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 the included
audio cable, you can connect the stepper to your
home stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play
special iFIT.com CD programs (CD’s are available sep-
arately). 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.
In addition, you can connect the stepper to your VCR
and TV and play iFIT.com video programs (videocas-
settes 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 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 CD’s or videocassettes, call toll-free
1-800-884-0620.
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.
