HOW TO USE A USER-DEFINED 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 a user-defined workout.
To select a user-defined workout, press the User
Defined button repeatedly until the name of the
desired workout appears in the display. The display
will also show a profile of the resistance settings of
the workout.
Note: To create a user-defined workout, see HOW
TO CREATE A USER-DEFINED WORKOUT on
page 20.
3. Start the workout.
Each workout is divided into segments. One
resistance level and one target rpm (speed) are
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
resistance level and/or target rpm may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments.
During the workout, the profile will show your prog-
ress. The flashing segment of the profile represents
the current segment of the workout. The height of
the flashing segment indicates the resistance level
for the current segment.
At the end of each segment of the workout, the
resistance of the pedals will change.
As you exercise, keep your pedaling speed
near the target rpm for the current segment.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm is intended only to
provide motivation. Your actual pedaling speed
may be slower than the target rpm. Make sure
to pedal at a speed that is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is too
high or too low, you can manually override the set-
ting by pressing the Quick 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 pause the workout, stop pedal-
ing. The time will pause in the display. To resume
the workout, simply resume pedaling.
4. Change the workout if desired.
If desired, you can change the workout while you
are using it.
To change the resistance level for the current
segment, simply press the Quick Resistance but-
tons. At the end of the current segment, the new
resistance level will be stored in memory.
To change the target rpm for the current seg-
ment, simply change your pedaling speed. At the
end of the current segment, your pedaling speed
will be stored in memory.
If desired, you can shorten the workout. To
shorten the workout, press any workout button on
the console, and then press the Enter button to trim
the workout.
If desired, you can extend the workout when
you reach the end of the workout. To extend the
workout, follow the instructions in the matrix.
Continue exercising for up to one hundred minutes.
Press the Home button when you are finished with
your workout. Then, press the Enter button. The
workout will then be stored in memory.
