HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
Press any button on the console or begin
p
edaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 10.
Select a preset program.
To select one of the six weight loss programs,
press the Weight Loss Programs button repeat-
edly; to select one of the six aerobic fitness pro-
grams, press the Aerobic Fitness Programs but-
ton; to select one of the six competition pro-
grams, press the Competition Programs button.
When you select a preset program, the name of
the program will appear in the display for a few
seconds. A profile of the resistance settings of the
program will then appear in the display. The dis-
play will also show the first resistance setting for
the program for a few seconds.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into 20, 30, or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and one
target pace setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or
target pace setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.
During the program, the program profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above).
The
flashing column of the profile represents the cur-
rent segment of the program.
The height of the
flashing column indicates the resistance setting
for the current segment. At the end of each seg-
ment of the program, a series of tones will sound
and the next segment of the profile will begin to
flash. If a different resistance setting is pro-
grammed for the next segment, the resistance
setting will appear in the display for a few sec
-
onds to alert you. The resistance of the pedals
will then change.
As you exercise, you
will be prompted to
k
eep your pedaling
p
ace near the target
pace setting for the
current segment.
When an upward-pointing arrow appears in the
d
isplay, increase your pace. When a downward-
pointing arrow appears, decrease your pace.
When no arrow appears, maintain your current
pace.
Important: The target pace settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Make
sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for
you.
If the resistance setting for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override
the setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance
buttons. However, when the current segment
ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the
resistance setting for the next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the program will pause. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling. The
program will continue until the last segment of the
profile flashes and the last segment of the pro-
gram ends.
Follow your progress with the display.
During the program, the display will show the pro-
gram profile, your pedaling speed, and the dis-
tance that you have pedaled.
To view the time remaining in the program instead
of the program profile, press the Display button.
To view the approximate number of calories that
you are burning per hour and the approximate
number of calories that you have burned during
your workout, press the Display button again.
To view the program profile again, press the
Display button again.
