When the console is in the manual mode, the speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor. Five preset workout programs are also offered. Each program automatically controls the speed and incline of the treadmill to give you an effective workout. The included hand weights can be used to add upper-body exercise to your workouts as well. You can even create your own custom workout programs and store them in memory for future use. In addition, the console offers a fitness test program that measures your relative fitness level and a pulsedriven program that automatically adjusts the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level during your workout. Note: The fitness test program and the pulse-driven program require the use of an optional chest pulse sensor (see page 24). 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 treadmill 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 speed and incline of the treadmill as a personal trainer guides 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 treadmill 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 treadmill connected to your computer, you can also go to our Web site at and access basic programs, audio programs, and video programs directly from the internet. Additional options are soon to be available. See for details. To purchase iFIT.com CDs or videocassettes, call tollfree 1-800-735-0768.
