3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each learn workout can have up to 40 one-minute
segments. One resistance level and one target
pace setting are programmed for each segment.
Note: The same resistance level and/or target
pace setting may be programmed for two or more
consecutive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile 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
resistance level 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 pro-
file will begin to flash. If a different resistance
level is programmed for the next segment, the
resistance level 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 pace near the target pace setting
for the current segment. When the words PEDAL
FASTER appear in the display, increase your
pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER appear,
decrease your pace. When no words appear,
maintain your current pace. Important: The tar-
get pace settings are intended only to provide
motivation. 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 Resistance buttons.
However, when the current segment ends, the
pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance
level for the next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To
restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The
workout will continue until the last segment of the
profile flashes and the last segment of the work-
out ends.
4. Change the workout if desired.
If desired, you can change the workout while
using it. To change the resistance level for the
current segment, simply press the Resistance
buttons. At the end of the current segment, the
new resistance level will be stored in memory. To
change the target pace for the current seg-
ment, simply change your pedaling pace. At the
end of the current segment, your pace will be
stored in memory. You can continue exercising
and changing the workout for up to forty minutes.
5. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 13.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 14.
7. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 14.
