HOW TO USE AN ONBOARD 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 20.
2. Select an onboard workout.
To select an onboard workout, press the Calorie
Workouts button or the Performance Workouts
button repeatedly until the desired workout appears
in the display.
When you select an onboard workout, the display
will show the duration of the workout or the approx-
imate number of calories to be burned during the
workout. A profile of the speed settings of the work-
out will appear in the matrix.
The maximum pedaling speed, the maximum resis-
tance level, and the maximum incline level for the
workout will also appear in the display.
3. Start the workout.
Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into one-minute segments.
One resistance level, one incline level, and one
target speed are programmed for each segment.
Note: The same resistance level, incline level, and/
or target speed may be programmed for consecu-
tive segments.
The resistance level, the incline level, and the
target speed for the first segment will appear in the
display.
During the
workout,
the profiles
on the
speed and
resistance
tabs will

show your progress. The flashing segment of the
profile represents the current segment of the work-
out. The height of the flashing segment indicates
the target speed or the resistance level for the cur-
rent segment.
At the end of each segment of the workout, a
series of tones will sound and the next segment of
the profile will begin to flash. If a different resis-
tance level, incline level, and/or target speed is
programmed for the next segment, the resistance
level, incline level, and/or target speed will appear
in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The
resistance of the pedals and the incline level of the
ramp will then change.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your
pedaling speed near the target speed for the cur-
rent segment. When an upward-pointing arrow
appears in the display, increase your pace. When
a downward-pointing arrow appears, decrease
your pace. When no arrow appears, maintain
your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target speed is intended only
to provide motivation. Your actual pedaling
speed may be slower than the target speed.
Make sure to pedal at a speed that is comfort-
able for you.
If the resistance level or incline level for the current
segment is too high or too low, you can manually
override the setting by pressing the Resistance but-
tons or the Ramp buttons. IMPORTANT: When the
current segment of the workout ends, the ped-
als will automatically adjust to the resistance
level programmed for the next segment and
the ramp will automatically adjust to the incline
level programmed for the next segment.
