Features Of The Console; How To Use The Manual Mode - NordicTrack GX 5.4 NTIVEX76014.0 User Manual

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When you use the manual mode, you can change the
resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. While
you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise
feedback. You can also measure your heart rate using the
handgrip heart rate monitor or the chest heart rate moni-
tor (see page 11 for information about the chest heart
rate monitor).
The console also offers a selection of onboard workouts.
Each workout automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals as it guides you through an effective workout. You
can also set a calorie, distance, or time goal.
The console also features an iFit mode that enables
the console to communicate with your wireless network
through an optional iFit module. With the iFit mode, you
can download personalized workouts, create your own
workouts, track your workout results, race against other
iFit users, and access many other features. To purchase
an iFit module at any time, go to www.iFit.com or
call the telephone number on the front cover of this
manual.
You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player
to the console sound system and listen to your favorite
music or audio books while you exercise.
To use the manual mode, see page 11. To use an
onboard workout, see page 12. To use a set-a-goal
workout, see page 13. To use an iFit workout, see
page 14. To use the sound system, see page 14. To
