The workout consists of one hill. The user determines the height of the peak of this hill by selecting an intensity level during
the setup. The higher the level selected, the higher the intensity at the entry point, which is the beginning of the workout,
and the higher the intensity at the peak, which occurs after 75 percent of the workout is completed.
After the peak is reached, the resistance gradually returns to the same intensity level as the entry point. See the chart.
FAT B
URN
The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum rate
†
for optimal
results. Throughout the workout, the user grasps the hand pulse sensors or wears a wireless heart rate chest strap. The con-
sole continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the exercise bike to reach and maintain
the target*. This system eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the
body's fat storage for fuel.
CARDIO
The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate is calculated at 80 percent of the
theoretical maximum
†
. The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the
heart muscle. throughout the workout, the user grasps the hand pulse sensors or wears a wireless heart rate chest strap.

†
Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent of
the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117. A 20-year-old user’s THR is 130, so the equation would be (220-20)*.65=130.
