 HOW TO USE A SET-A-GOAL 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.  Set a calorie, distance, or time goal.

 

 To set a calorie, distance, or time goal, first press 
the Set A Goal button. 

 

 Next, press the increase and decrease buttons 
next to the Enter button until the name of the 
desired goal appears in the display. Then, press 
the Enter button.

 

 Then, press the increase and decrease buttons 
next to the Enter button to set the desired goal. 

3.  Begin pedaling to start the workout.

 

 Each workout is divided into one-minute seg-
ments. The target speed for the current segment 
will appear in the display at the beginning of each 
segment.

 

 As you exercise, keep your pedaling speed near 
the target speed. 

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 comfortable for you. 

 

 You can manually change the resistance of the 
pedals as desired during the workout by pressing 
the 1 Step Resistance buttons. 

 

 Note: If you manually change the resistance during 
a calorie goal workout, the length of the workout 
will adjust automatically to ensure that you meet 
your calorie goal.

 

 Note: The calorie goal is an estimate of the 
number of calories that you will burn during 
the workout. The actual number of calories that 
you burn will depend on various factors such 
as your weight. In addition, if you manually 
change the resistance during the workout, the 
number of calories you burn will be affected.

 

 The workout will continue in this way until the 
calorie, distance, or time goal is reached. To pause 
the workout, stop pedaling. The time will pause in 
the display. To resume the workout, simply resume 
pedaling.

4.  Follow your progress with the display. 

 

 As you exercise, the calories, time, or distance 
display will count down until the desired goal is 
reached.

 

See step 4 on page 17.

5.  Measure your heart rate if desired.

 

See step 5 on page 18.

6.   When you are finished exercising, the console 

will turn off automatically.

 

See step 6 on page 18.
