HOW TO USE A TIMED WORKOUT
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the
console to turn on the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
15.
2. Select a timed workout.
To select a timed workout, press the Timed
Workouts button repeatedly until the name of the
desired workout appears in the display.
The workout time and a profile of the resistance
levels for the workout will also appear in the dis-
play.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into 20, 30, or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target rpm (pace) setting are programmed for each
segment. Note: The same resistance level and/or
target rpm setting may be programmed for con-
secutive segments.
The resistance level and the target rpm for the first
segment will appear in the center of the display for
a few seconds.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-
ing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the cur-
rent 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 rpm is programmed for
the next segment, the resistance level and/or tar-
get rpm will flash 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 pace
near the target rpm
setting for the cur-
rent segment.
When an upward-
pointing arrow appears in the display, increase
your pace. When a downward-pointing arrow
appears in the display, decrease your pace. When
no arrows appear, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual pace may be slower than the target rpm
settings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is
comfortable 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 Quick Resistance buttons.
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
program ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level for the next seg-
ment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends.
To stop the workout at any time, stop pedaling. A
tone will sound and the time will flash in the dis-
play. To restart the workout, simply resume pedal-
ing.
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, unplug the
power cord.
See step 6 on page 16.
