MANUAL The level of resistance is controlled by the user. Increase or decrease levels at any time during your workout.
Page 27
HILL This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately 10% of maximum effort (the level that you chose before starting this program) up to a maximum effort which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual regression of resistance back to approximately 10% of maximum effort.
Page 28
CARDIO This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or user input level). It has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down. This will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.
Page 29
CONSTANT POWER A watts program is a controllable constant power whose level adjusts when the speed is changed. Choose either faster pedaling at a lower resistance level or slower pedaling at a higher resistance level. HEART RATE The default value is 65% of your projected rate maximum. You have the option of changing your target heart rate.

FITNESS TEST The VO2 program 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.

TARGET HEART RATE The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
Page 37
RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION 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. The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V.

Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the Spirit Fitness logo is right side up. 7. The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning the whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE 1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. 2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons: a. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible.
