 HOW TO USE AN ONBOARD WORKOUT

1.   Begin pedaling or press any button on the 

console to turn on the console.

 

 When you turn on the console, the display will turn 
on. The console will then be ready for use.

2.  Select an onboard workout.

 

 To select an onboard workout, press the 12 Calorie 
Workouts button or the 12 Performance Workouts 
button 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 maximum resistance level and the maximum 
speed for the workout will also appear in the 
display. 

 3.  Begin pedaling to start the workout.

 

 Each workout is divided into one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance level and one target speed 
is programmed for each segment. Note: The same 
resistance level and/or target speed may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments. 

 

 During the 
workout, 
the profile 
on the 
speed 
tab will 
show your 
progress. 
The flashing segment of the profile represents the 
current segment of the workout. The height of the 
flashing segment indicates the target speed for the 
current segment. 

 

 At the end of each segment of the workout, a 
series of tones will sound and the next segment of 

the profile will begin to flash. If a different resis-
tance level and/or target speed is programmed for 
the next segment, the resistance level and/or target 
speed will appear in the display for a few seconds 
to alert you. The resistance of the pedals will then 
change. 

 

 As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your 
pedaling speed near the target speed 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 speed is intended only 
to provide motivation. Your actual pedaling 
speed may be slower than the target speed. 
Make sure to pedal at a speed that is comfort-
able 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 1 Step 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 15.

5.  Measure your heart rate if desired.

 

See step 5 on page 16.

6.   When you are finished exercising, the console 

will turn off automatically.

 

See step 6 on page 16.
