Part 4: Workout Mode
Workout Mode enables you to put together a pro-
gram designed for your specifi c training needs.
You can choose one of the pre-loaded workouts,
or you can create your own customized workout
with PowerAgent
TM
and upload it into the CycleOps
PowerBeam
TM
Pro computer (see PowerAgent
TM
User
Guide).
4.1 Choosing a Workout
From the Main Menu, select “Workouts.” You’ll see a
screen that offers a number of workouts, including
any you have saved to the CycleOps PowerBeam
TM
Pro computer. Use the arrow buttons to highlight the
workout you want, and press select to choose it.
You’ll be taken to the Workout Mode screen. This
screen displays similar information to the Ride Mode
screen (see Part 3). Your workout will begin as soon
as you start pedaling. It is divided into six boxes, each
of which displays a different part of your workout.
The active box is highlighted with solid lines around
it. When a box is active, you can make adjustments to
it or change what it displays. Use the mode button to
toggle between boxes.
4.2: Level
Like in Ride Mode, this box displays the slope of the
grade for the interval or its target power in watts
However, you cannot toggle between the two like
you can in Ride Mode. Slope or watts is set when
the workout is created. You can, however, increase or
decrease the slope or the target power by using the
arrow buttons.
4.3: Power
This box displays your current power output in watts.
(See Section 3.3 for more detail).
4.4: HR
This box displays your current heart rate. (See Sec-
tion 3.4 for more detail).
4.5: Workout
This box displays two things, a countdown to the
next segment and the current segment number.
The countdown displays either the time or distance,
depending on how the workout was set up in Pow-
erAgent
TM
.
To skip ahead to the next segment in the workout,
press and hold the mode and select buttons togeth-
er for one second.
Note: Interval functions are deactivated in Workout
Mode.
4.6: Cadence
Cadence displays the number of RPM’s you’re pedal-
ing. (See Section 3.6 for more detail).
4.7: Time
This is the total elapsed time of your workout. (See
Section 3.7 for more detail).
