How to Set Up an iFit Card (32 Steps)
By Rob Kemmett
The iFit is an interactive exercise device that works in tandem with most computers and iFit-compatible exercise equipment. To utilize the iFit program, you must have an iFit card. The iFit cards are SanDisk cards that fit into the SD slot on computers and exercise machines, including treadmills and elliptical machines. Download new workouts to empty SD cards to use iFit exercise programs. Before using the program, you must set up the iFit module.

Step 2
Turn on the exercise equipment and wait one minute.
Step 3
