HOW TO USE A HEART RATE WORKOUT
1. Press any button on the console or begin ped-
aling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 16.
2. Select a heart rate workout.
To select one of the heart rate workouts, press the
Heart Rate button repeatedly until the words
HEART RATE 1 or HEART RATE 2 appear in the
display.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
A few seconds after you select a heart rate work-
out, the words ENTER HEART RATE will appear
in the display and the number 110 will begin to
flash.
During heart rate workout 1, the same target
heart rate setting will be programmed for all seg-
ments of the workout. If you have selected heart
rate workout 1, press the increase and decrease
buttons below the Odometer button to enter the
desired target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 22).
During heart rate workout 2, different target
heart rate settings will be programmed for different
segments of the workout. If you have selected
heart rate workout 2, press the increase and
decrease buttons below the Odometer button to
enter the desired maximum target heart rate set-
ting for the workout (see EXERCISE INTENSITY
on page 22).
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or put on the
optional chest pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during heart rate workouts; how-
ever, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor
frequently for the workouts to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds.
5. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Heart rate workout 1 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. Note: For a shorter workout,
stop exercising or select a different workout before
the workout ends.
Heart rate workout 2 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
consecutive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile in the dis-
play will show your progress. The flashing column
of the profile represents the current segment of the
workout. The height of the flashing column indi-
cates the target heart rate setting for the current
segment. At the end of each segment of the work-
out, a series of tones will sound and the next seg-
ment of the profile will begin to flash.
During both workouts, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting for the current segment of the workout. If
your heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
Each time the resistance changes, the resistance
setting will appear in the display for a few seconds
to alert you.
While you exercise, you will be prompted to main-
tain a constant pedaling pace. If an upward-point-
ing arrow appears in the display (see the drawing
above), increase your pace. If a downward-point-
ing arrow appears, decrease your pace. When no
arrow appears, maintain your current pace.
