HOW TO USE A WEIGHT LOSS WORKOUT
1. Begin pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 16.
2. Select a weight loss workout.
To select one of the four weight loss workouts,
press the Enter/Exit button repeatedly until the
name of a WEIGHTLOSS workout appears in the
upper display.
When you select a weight loss workout, the name
of the workout and the workout time will appear in
the displays and a profile of the resistance levels
of the workout will scroll across the center display.
3. Press Start or begin pedaling to start the
workout.
Each weight loss workout is divided into 25, 30, or
45 one-minute segments. One resistance level and
one target rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
resistance level and/or target rpm 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 is programmed for the next
segment, the resistance level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-
tance of the pedals will then change.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for
the current segment. When the words PEDAL
FASTER appear in the upper display, increase
your pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER
appear, decrease your pace. When the words
PEDALING IN RANGE appear, maintain your cur-
rent pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the target rpm set-
tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-
fortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons.
However, when the current segment ends, the ped-
als will automatically adjust to the resistance level
for the next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To
restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The
workout will continue until the last segment of the
profile flashes and the last segment of the workout
ends.
When the last segment of the workout ends, the
words PROGRAM DONE will appear in the upper
display.
4. Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 4 on page 16.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 17.
