Update April 1, 2009:
Tom S wrote a program that works with the newer ifit SD card machines. So cool – thanks Tom! You can download his program from Tom’s Microsoft Live site. I think this is still a work in progress. Any problems with the programs can be reported to Tom S at tes5 at aol dot com, or post them back here as a comment.
The Markster has also written a program for the newer SD card machines. Visit his website for more info:

Original Posting
Someone emailed me saying they have a newer Nordic Track treadmill that uses Ifit cards. He was wondering if there’s a way to create your own workouts, the way you can customize the older ifit treadmill workouts.
So, anybody out there know what’s on the newer Ifit workout cards? They are basically SD memory cards that you can plug into some of the newer Nordic Track treadmills. I was wondering if you read the card from your computer, what files are on the card? Update Jan 22, ’08: Two readers commented that mp3 audio files containing the beep codes that is on the ifit cards. I uploaded a few mp3 files here in case someone wants to test it out.
Speaking of treadmills, I did my Cheetah Fast Runervals DVD today, for the third time since I got the DVD at Christmas. It gets a bit easier each time…except for the very last set, which still leaves me feeling like I am going to puke. I think next time I will bump up my base pace to 3.5 mph, except for the last set š The thing I like about Coach Troy’s workouts is that they are really hard; but the amount of rest he gives you is perfect so you can just barely recover before going hard again.
Here are some Nordic Track treadmills that use the IFit cards:
* Nordic Track C2155 Treadmill
* Nordic Track A2550 Treadmill
* Nordic Track C2500 Treadmill
* Nordic Track C2350 Treadmill
