HOW T
O USE A WORKOUT PROGRAM
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 11.
Select one of the workout programs.
When the power is
turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected. To
select a workout
program, press
the Program
Select button repeatedly until one of the eight
program indicators lights.
When a workout program is selected, the matrix
will show the first resistance settings of the pro-
gram. The left display will show how long the pro-
gram will last. Note: The eight profiles printed on
the left and right sides of the console show how
the resistance of the pedals and the target pace
will change during the workout programs. The
upper right profile, for example, shows that both
the resistance and the target pace will alternately
increase and decrease during that program.
Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
Each program is divided into several time periods
of different lengths. One resistance setting and
one target pace setting are programmed for each
period. (The same resistance setting and/or target
pace setting may be programmed for two or more
consecutive periods.)
The resistance
setting for the first
period will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current Period
column of the
matrix. The resis-
tance settings of
the next several
periods will be
shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first period
of the program, both the Current Period column
and the column to the right will flash, a series of
tones will sound, and all resistance settings will
move one column to the left. The resistance set-
ting for the second period will then be shown in
the flashing Current Period column, and
the
resistance of the pedals will automatically change
to the resistance setting for the second period.
Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Period
column are lit after the resistance settings have
moved to the left, the resistance settings will move
downward so that only the highest indicators
appear in the matrix.
During the pro-
gram, the Target
Pace display will
help you to keep
your pedaling pace
near the target
pace for the cur-
rent period. When
your pedaling pace is near the target pace, the
round indicator in the center of the display will
light. If one of the upper two arrows in the display
lights, decrease your pedaling pace; if one of the
lower two arrows lights, increase your pace.
Important: The target pace settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
pace may be slower than the target pace set-
tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, a tone will
sound and the program will pause. To restart the
program, resume pedaling. The program will con-
tinue until the resistance setting for the last peri-
od is shown in the Current Period column of the
matrix and the last period is completed.
Note: During the program, you can manually
change the resistance, if desired, by pressing the
Resistance buttons. However
,
when the next
period begins, the resistance will automatically
change if a different resistance setting is pro-
grammed for the next period.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.
See step 4 on page 11.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 12.
When you are finished exercising, the con
-
sole will automatically turn off.
See step 6 on page 12.
