4.2 WORKOUT SETUP STEPS
To set up a workout, press the touch screen over the program you would like to use and then follow the prompts to begin your workout.
GO
- Press to immediately begin a workout. Workout, resistance level, and time will automatically go to default settings. Pressing GO will not
prompt user for age, weight, or level settings.
MANUAL
-
Manual allows the user to input more information while defining their own workout. Calorie expenditure will be more accurate when
inputting information in Manual than by pressing GO.
FAT BURN
- Fat burn is a level based program that is designed to help users burn fat through various resistance level changes.
ROLLING HILLS
- The Rolling Hills program is a level based program that automatically adjusts the resistance level to simulate real terrain.
INTERVALS
- The Intervals program is a level based program that automatically adjusts the resistance of the machine from low to high
intensity settings at regular intervals.
RANDOM
- Random is a level based workout that randomly adjusts the resistance of the machine.
TARGET HEART RATE
- The Matrix U7xe-03 bike comes with standard digital contact heart rate sensors and are POLAR telemetry
compatible. The heart rate control workout mode allows the user to program their desired heart rate zone, and the bike will automatically adjust
the level based upon the user's heart rate. The heart rate zone is calculated using the following equation: (220-Age)8%=target heart rate zone.
The user must wear a POLAR telemetric strap or continually hold onto the contact heart rate grips for this workout.
Locate the metal sensors on the handlebars of the bike. Notice that there are two separate pieces of metal on each grip. You must be making
contact with both pieces of each grip to get an accurate heart rate reading. You can grab these sensors in any program to view your current heart
rate.
FITNESS TEST
-The Cooper Fitness Test measures cardiovascular fitness and proves an estimated sub-maximal VO2 result. It is based on
power output according to ACSM standards and was developed by the Cooper Institute© (www.cooperinstitute.org). User RPMs must remain
between 60-80 RPM during the test. The test will end when the user can no longer maintain this speed. Use of a heart rate strap is optional but
provides more data.
The test starts at a low intensity level and gradually increases in intensity (difficulty) every 2 minutes. As it increases, the user must maintain
60-80 RPM to advance to the next level. The test could take upwards of 30+ minutes for very fit individuals. Once the test ends a recovery period
(cool down) will begin and the user's results are calculated and displayed. Results are based on the number of stages completed. Incline will not
be adjustable during the test.
STAGE COMPLETE:
1 Well Below Average
2 Well Below Average
3 Below Average
4 Below Average
5 Average
6 Average
7 Above Average
8 Above Average
9+ Well Above Average
CONSTANT WATTS
- Constant Watts is a unique program that allows you to vary your cadence or RPM and the bike's resistance level will
adjust accordingly to your selected goal. The quicker you pedal, the less resistance for the goal selected.
