6 different route types proposed by Technogym, or for programming up to 9 personal route types. The duration of the profiles is defined by one of the GOALS: time, distance or calories for predefined profiles; time or distance for personal profiles.
Description of the control panel Manual control keys Increases the effort level of a workout. The setting increases by 1 unit each time the key is pressed. For constant power exercises, this key increases the target power by 10 watts each time it is pressed. For constant heart rate exercises, this key increases the target heart rate by 1 unit each time it is pressed (if the keys are enabled in this way: see the Configuration menu section).
Description of the control panel The number pad The number pad is for entering the numerical values requested when setting the workouts. Only figures are entered, i.e. 7 and 5 to indicate 7.5 km. As well as the figures, the number pad also has DELETE and ENTER keys. confirms the entered value and proceeds;...
Description of the control panel The numerical displays You can read the numerical values of the current exercise on the numerical displays: power, expressed in Watts. The power displayed is the power produced by the user, within the tolerances specified in the equipment identity label. heart rate, expressed in number of beats per minute.
Description of the control panel The goal arc and dial The arc of LEDs lights up from left to right in time with the workout, until the set goal is reached. The LED corresponding to the current time/distance/calories portion blinks. The type of goal selected is lit up in the arc during the exercise.
Quick start In standby, either start moving or press the key START. This kind of exercise is on a time increment basis; the age and weight values are predefined, i.e. 30 years and 70 kilograms. It starts at effort level 1. This exercise is performed at a constant torque and braking is independent of speed.
Cool down At the end of each exercise and test, there is a cooling down stage at half the load of the exercise just completed. The workloads can be modified using the corresponding keys in the same way as during the exercise. Everything switches off in the goal arc;...
Goal driven exercises Press the GOAL keys in standby to select an exercise, in which the only parameter to set before starting is the total duration, in terms of time, calories to be burned or distance to cover. This exercise is performed at a constant torque and starts at effort level 1. Press the key for the selected goal.

Goal driven exercises During the exercise the goal arc lights up proportionally from left to right until the entire set goal value has expired; the goal’s numerical value is shown in the goal dial as it increases and alternates with the display of the information on the unselected goal: i.e. how long ago the exercise started, how many calories have been burned and what distance has been covered.
Constant heart rate (CPR) exercise The constant heart rate exercise is very important in situations where specific heart rate levels have to be maintained. In the constant heart rate exercise the exercise workload is automatically adjusted to take the heart rate to the preselected level and keep it constant throughout the entire exercise duration. This type of exercise is at constant power and braking depends on the speed.

Constant heart rate (CPR) exercise ott1 Type in the heart rate you want to maintain constantly throughout the workout with the number keys, then press ENTER to confirm and proceed. The exercise starts. During the exercise the goal arc lights up proportionally from left to right until the entire set goal value has expired; the goal’s numerical value is shown in the goal dial as it increases and alternates with the display of the information on the unselected goal: i.e.
The fitness test The fitness test is a sub-maximum test suitable for quite unfit or moderately fit users. You need to wear the heart rate monitor to perform the test; if there is no heart rate signal the test does not start. Press the key in standby.

Profile workout With the key you can choose between: six predefined profiles, non-modifiable; nine personal profiles saved by the user. Predefined profiles The predefined profiles are variable workouts defined on the basis of one of three goals: time, distance or calorie consumption. The goal value is set in the programming stage and can be changed during the exercise with the corresponding keys.

Performance index The performance index (PI) was invented by Technogym to give a concise and easily comparable assessment of performance in a workout. To have your performance index shown on the display with the other results at the end of the exercise, in any kind of workout, simply use the heart rate monitor for at least 3 minutes.
Workouts with the TGS key The TGS key reading device is optional. The TGS key does away with the need to enter your personal data and workout parameters each time you exercise, as all this information is saved in its memory. To start the exercise just slip the TGS key into its port; the display shows the user name, followed by the type of exercise specified in the workout program.
