HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT
1. Begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling, the display will
light.
2. Select the workout menu.
To select the workout menu, press the Intensity
Control Workouts button. The workout menu will
then appear in the display.
3. Select a preset workout.
To select one of the twenty preset workouts, first
press the left and right Navigation buttons to high-
light the PRESET WORKOUTS option, and then
press the Enter button.
Then, press the left and right or the up and down
Navigation buttons until the name of the desired
preset workout appears in the display. Note: To
return to a previous menu, press the Back button.
To return to the manual mode, press the Intensity
Control Workouts button.
When you select a preset workout, the display will
show the name of the workout and the workout
time. A profile of the resistance levels for the work-
out will also appear in the display.
4. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each preset workout is divided into 20, 30, or 45
one-minute segments. One resistance level and
one target rpm (pace) setting are programmed for
each segment. Note: The same resistance and/or
target rpm setting may be programmed for consecu-
tive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The small
arrow below the workout profile indicates the cur-
rent segment of the workout. The height of the
segment indicates 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 small
arrow will move to the next segment of the profile.
If a different resistance level and/or target rpm is
programmed for the next segment, the resistance
level and/or target rpm will flash in the display for
a few seconds to alert you. The resistance of the
pedals will then change.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for
the current segment. When the words PEDAL
FASTER appear in the display, increase your
pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER appear,
decrease your pace. When no words appear,
maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the target rpm set-
tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-
fortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Resistance buttons.
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level for the next seg-
ment.
The workout will continue in this way until the
small arrow reaches the right end of the profile. To
stop the workout at any time, stop pedaling. A tone
will sound and the time will begin to flash in the
display. To restart the workout, simply resume ped-
aling.
5. Follow your progress with the display.
When you use a preset workout, the display can
show the time remaining in the workout, the dis-
tance you have pedaled, the resistance level, the
approximate number of calories you have burned,
and your pedaling pace in revolutions per minute
(rpm). Press the Display button repeatedly to select
the desired display option.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 6 on page 17.
7. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 17.
8. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 8 on page 17.
