HOW TO USE A TARGET TONING WORKOUT
1. Press any button on the console or begin ped-
aling to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the display will
light. A tone will then sound and the console will
be ready for use.
2. Select a target toning workout.
To select a target toning workout, press the Quick
Target Toning Workouts button that has the name
of the desired workout.
When you select a target toning workout, the
name of the workout will appear in the display for
a few seconds and a profile of the resistance lev-
els of the workout will scroll across the matrix.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into 30 one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance level, one ramp incline
level, and one target pace setting are programmed
for each segment. Note: The same resistance
level, ramp incline level, and/or target pace setting
may be programmed for consecutive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-
ing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the cur-
rent segment. At the end of each segment of the
workout, a series of tones will sound and the next
segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ-
ent resistance level or ramp incline level is pro-
grammed for the next segment, the resistance
level or the ramp incline level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-
tance of the pedals or the ramp incline level will
then change.
As you exercise, the console will display a variety
of exercise instructions. For example, the console
may instruct you to pedal backwards or to use
only your upper body during certain segments of
the workout.
In addition, the colors on the lit muscle display will
indicate your exercise intensity:
Color Exercise Intensity
Pink Low
Blue Low
Green Medium
Yellow Medium
Orange High
Red High
You will also be prompted to keep your pedaling
pace near the target pace setting for the current
segment. When the words PEDAL FASTER
appear in the display, increase your pace. When
the words PEDAL SLOWER appear, decrease
your pace. When no words appear, maintain your
current pace. IMPORTANT: The target pace set-
tings are intended only to provide motivation.
Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort-
able for you.
