HOW TO USE PERSONAL TRAINER
PROGRAMS
Begin pedalling to activate the console.
1
See step 1 on page 13.
Select one of the six personal trainer
2
programs.
When the power is turned on, the manual mode
will be selected. To select a personal trainer pro-
gram, repeatedly press the Program Select but-
ton until the name of the desired program (40 Min.
Interval, Pyramid, Twin Peak, Double Hill, Fat
Cruncher, or Canyon Country) appears in the main
display.
The matrix will show
the first eight resis-
tance settings of the
program you have
selected.
Begin pedalling to start the program.

Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. One resistance setting
and one pace setting are programmed for each
segment. (The same resistance setting and/or
pace setting may be programmed for two or more
consecutive segments.)
The resistance set-
ting for the first seg-
ment will be shown
in the flashing
Current Segment
column of the
matrix. (The pace
settings are not shown in the matrix.) The resis-
tance settings for the next several segments will
be shown in the columns to the right.
Current Segment
15
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and all resistance set-
tings will move one column to the left. The resis-
tance setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column,
and the resistance of the pedals will automatically
change if a different resistance setting is pro-
grammed for the second segment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your pedalling pace near the pace
setting for the current segment. The lit indicators
in the bar will show
your actual pace. If
an indicator to the
right of the lit indica-
tors is flashing (see
drawing a), increase
your pace. If an indi-
cator to the left of
any lit indicator is
flashing (see drawing
b), decrease your
pace. When no indi-
cator is flashing, your
pace matches the
pace setting for the current segment. Important:
The pace settings are intended only to pro-
vide motivation. Your actual pace may be
slower than the pace settings. Make sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue in this way until the
main display shows that no time remains in the
program.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment, if
desired, by pressing the Resistance buttons.
However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will automatically change if a different
resistance setting is programmed for the next
segment. If you stop pedalling for several sec-
onds, a tone will sound and the program will
pause. To restart the program, simply resume
pedalling.
