Each Smart program will automatically change the
resistance of the pedals and prompt you to increase or
decrease your pace as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout. Programs 3, 4, and 5 are weight loss pro-
grams; programs 6, 7, 8, and 9 are aerobic programs;
and programs 10, 11, and 12 are high-performance
programs.
Follow the steps below to use a Smart program.
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 13.
Select one of the Smart programs.
Each time the console is
turned on, the manual
mode will be selected. To
select a Smart program,
press the Program button
repeatedly until the num-
ber 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
11, or 12 appears in the
small display.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each Smart program consists of either 20 or 30
one-minute periods. One resistance level and one
target pace are programmed for each period.
Note: The same resistance level and/or target
pace may be programmed for two or more con-
secutive periods.
When you begin pedaling, the resistance of the
pedals will automatically change to the resistance
level programmed for the first period. Note: If the
resistance level is too high or too low, you can
change it by pressing the Resistance buttons.
The target pace for the first period will appear in
the small display for a few seconds, and the
arrows in the small display will help you to pedal
at the target pace—simply increase or decrease
your pace until
one segment of
the indicator bar
appears at the tip
of each arrow
(see the drawing
at the right). Note:
When the word
TARGET does not appear in the small display,
your actual pedaling pace will be shown.
Important: The target pace is intended only to
provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slow-
er than the target pace, especially during the
first few months of your exercise program.
Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort-
able for you.
During the last three seconds of each period, a
series of tones will sound and the time will flash in
the large display. The resistance of the pedals will
then change if a different resistance level is pro-
grammed for the next period. In addition, the
number of arrows in the small display will change
if a different target pace is programmed for the
next period.
During the program, the center of the large dis-
play will show the time remaining in the program.
If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the dis-
plays will pause and the time will flash. To restart
the program, resume pedaling.
Follow your progress with the large display.

will automatically turn off.
