HOW TO USE AN ONBOARD WORKOUT
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the
console to turn on the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 17.
2. Select an onboard workout.
To select an onboard workout, press the Calorie
Workouts button or the Performance Workouts but-
ton repeatedly until the desired workout appears in
the display.
When you select an onboard workout, the display
will show the duration of the workout and the name
of the workout. A profile of the speed settings of the
workout will appear in the matrix.
The display will also show the maximum pedaling
speed (rpm) and the maximum resistance level.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into segments. One
resistance level and one target rpm (speed) are
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
resistance level and/or target rpm may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments.
The resistance level and the target rpm for the first
segment will appear in the matrix.
During the
workout, the
profile on the
speed tab will
show your
progress. The
flashing seg-
ment of the
profile represents the current segment of the work-
out. The height of the flashing segment indicates
the target speed for the current segment.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your
pedaling speed near the target rpm for the cur-
rent segment.
When an upward-pointing arrow
appears in the display,
increase your pace.
When
a downward-pointing arrow appears,
decrease
your pace.
When no arrow appears,
maintain
your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm is intended only to
provide motivation. Your actual pedaling speed
may be slower than the target rpm. Make sure
to pedal at a speed that is comfortable 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 Digital Resistance buttons.
IMPORTANT:
When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level programmed for
the next segment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. The time will flash in the display. To
resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 19.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.
