Important Safety Instructions WARNING - Read all instructions before using this appliance. Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult a physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health conditions. Keep children away from the bike. There are obvious pinch points and other areas of caution that can cause harm.

RECUMBENT & UPRIGHT Console Power on Spirit commercial bikes have a built-in generator for power and do not need to be plugged into an AC outlet. To power up the Bike simply start to pedal, the console will turn on automatically. If the console does not light when you pedal, check that the power switch is set to 0 (Generator).
Console Operation Quick Start This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key to begin. This will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero, all workout data will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up and Down buttons.

The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat. There are many schools of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion level that stays at a steady workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its maximum potential.

Fit-Test The fitness test is based on the YMCA protocol and is a sub-maximal test that uses pre-determined, fixed work levels that are based on your heart rate readings as the test progresses. The test will take anywhere between 6 to 15 minutes to complete, depending on your level of fitness. The test ends when your heart rate reaches 85% of maximum at any time during the test or your heart rate is between 110 bpm and 85% at the end of two consecutive stages.

With all Spirit Heart Rate Control bike machines you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using the Heart Rate Control program. This function can be used during manual mode or during any of the nine different programs.
Rate of Perceived Exertion Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout.
