HOW TO USE A WATTS 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 18.
2. Select a watts workout.
To select a watts workout, first press the Watts
Workouts button. Next, turn the resistance dial until
the number of the desired workout appears in the
display. Then, press the Enter button to select the
workout.
If you select
watts work-
out 1, the
words ENTER
WATTS
TARGET will
appear in the
display.
If you select
watts work-
out 2 or 3, the
workout time
and a profile of
the resistance
levels for the
workout will
appear in the
display.
3. If you selected watts workout 1, enter a target
watts setting.
During watts workout 1, the same target watts
setting will be programmed for all segments of
the workout. Turn the resistance dial to enter the
desired target watts setting.
4. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Watts workout 1 is divided into 40 one-minute
segments. During the workout, the console will
regularly compare your watts output to the target
watts setting you entered for the workout.
If your watts output is too far below or above the
target watts setting, the resistance of the pedals
will automatically increase or decrease to bring
your watts output closer to the target watts setting.
Each time the resistance changes, the resistance
level will appear in the display for a few seconds to
alert you.
If the target watts setting is too high or too low, you
can manually override the setting by turning the
resistance dial.
Watts workout 2 or 3 is divided into 40 one-minute
segments. One resistance level and one target
watts level are programmed for each segment.
Note: The same resistance level and/or target
watts level may be programmed for consecutive
segments.
The workout profile will show your progress (see
the drawing at the left). The flashing segment of the
profile represents the current segment of the work-
out. The height of the flashing segment indicates
the resistance level for the current segment.
As you exercise, you will
be prompted to pedal at
a target speed. When
an upward arrow or the
word FASTER appears
in the display, increase
your speed. When a downward arrow or the word
SLOWER appears, decrease your speed. When no
arrow appears or the words ON TARGET appear,
maintain your current speed.
