Weight Loss Program
With the Weight Loss Program, the workout time is fixed at 28
minutes and consists of seven 4-minute intervals. You are not
prompted for a workout time. Use the arrow keys to change the
resistance for the rest or work interval. When you make changes, the
program repeats the settings for the remaining intervals.
The display lets you know when the resistance levels are about to
change.
Note: You cannot transfer mid-session to the Weight Loss Program.
For the ideal weight loss range, your heart rate should remain between
55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. If you wear a chest
strap, you can use SmartRate as a visual cue.
Set a comfortable pedaling speed and then adjust the
resistance.
Maintain a level of exertion so that the SmartRate LEDs in the
FATBURN target zone blink in the display during the rest intervals.
During the work intervals, increase your level of exertion so that
the LEDs in the CARDIO target zone blink.
For more information about the SmartRate display, refer to Using
SmartRate.
Hill Climb Program
The Hill Climb Program, available by pressing the PERFORMANCE
key, is a variable resistance program that works several different
muscle groups. The resistance in the Hill Climb Program is
preprogrammed. To override the resistance settings for each
column, press the RESISTANCE arrow keys. The changes raise or
lower the columns on the remaining portion of the program profile.
