Each program is divided intoseveral time seg-

one resistance setting are programmed for each
segment. (The same pace setting and/or resis-

consecutive segments.)
The pace setting
for the firstseg-
ment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. (The

for the next several segments will be shown in the
columns to the right.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace
setting for the current segment. The lit indicators
in the bar will show your actual pace. If an indica-
tor to the right of
the lit indicators is
flashing (see draw-
ing a), increase COOL-OOWNFATBURN
