In this workout, the gradual changes in resistance are extremely subtle, lowering perceived exertion. The changes in
resistance also are independent of the user’s pedaling speed. The cardiovascular workout is effective, efficient, and
enjoyable at the same time.
The workout consists of one hill. The user determines the height of the peak of this hill by selecting an intensity level during
the setup. The higher the level selected, the higher the intensity at the entry point, which is the beginning of the workout,
and the higher the intensity at the peak, which occurs after 75 percent of the workout is completed.
After the peak is reached, the resistance gradually returns to the same intensity level as that of the entry point. See the
chart below.

URNER
(
OPTIONAL
)
The FAT BURNER workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum rate
†
for opti-
mal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a telemetry heart rate chest strap. The console continuously monitors
and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the exercise bike to reach and maintain the target*. This system
eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel.
C
ARDIO
(
OPTIONAL
)
The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURNER ; however the target heart rate is calculated at 80 percent of
the theoretical maximum
†
. The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the
heart muscle. hroughout the workout, the user wears a telemetry heart rate chest strap.

Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO workout is 144. This workout
targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144. A 20-year-old user’s THR is 160, so the equation would be
(220-20)*.80=160.
