WATTS / METS Programmability Options
It is possible in the Manual program to enter a value of Watts or METS to
maintain, rather than a resistance level. For instance, if your doctor
should
prescribe that you exercise three times per week for 20 minutes at 100
Watts (the value must be between 33 and 338), this option would ensure
that you maintain that 100 Watt level by altering the pedal resistance in
inverse proportion to your pedaling speed. In other words, if you begin
pedaling at a slower pace – dropping your expended Watts below 100 – the
resistance will increase to return you to your 100 Watt goal. Conversely, if
you begin pedaling faster , the resistance will decrease, bringing you back
down to the 100 Watt threshold you need to maintain.
To enter a value of Watts to maintain while in the a manual program:
o
Continue pedaling
o
Press 0/WATTS, then within two seconds...
o
Enter a Watts value between 33 and 338
You may change your resistance anytime in the Watts mode at anytime
during a workout by pressing 0 and then immediately keying in a new
Watts value to maintain.
To return to a resistance level, key in a number (0 to 12).
To enter a value of METS to maintain:
o
Begin pedaling and press the Start key
o
Press the 8/METS key and press the Enter key
o
When prompted for your weight (LB), enter it and press the Enter key
o
Choose a program using the Program Select key
In the Manual Program you can override a weight dependent value and
input a lower METS value:
o
Choose the Manual Program in the last step above
o
When you are prompted to enter an effort level (L) from 1 to 12, press
8 and then immediately ...
o
Enter a new METS value
To return to a resistance level, key in a number (0 to 12).
