HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the
console to turn on the console.
See HOW TO ACTIVATE THE CONSOLE on page
15.
2. Select a preset workout.
To select a preset
workout, press the
Performance
Workouts button or
the Weight Loss
Workouts button
repeatedly until the
name of the desired
workout appears in
the display.
The workout duration, the maximum speed, and a
profile of the resistance levels will also appear in
the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into 20, 30 or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target speed is programmed for each segment.
Note: The same resistance level and/or target
speed may be programmed for consecutive seg-
ments.
The resistance level for the first segment will
appear in the display and the target speed for the
first segment will flash in the display for a few sec-
onds.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-
ing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
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 next segment of
the profile will begin to flash. If a different resis-
tance level and/or target speed is programmed for
the next segment, the resistance level and/or tar-
get speed will appear in the display for a few
seconds to alert you. The resistance of the pedals
will then change.
Profile

As you exercise,
keep your pedaling
speed near the tar-
get speed for the
current segment. At
the beginning of
each segment, the target speed for the segment
will flash in the display.
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 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 programmed for
the next segment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
stop counting. To restart the workout, simply
resume pedaling.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on pages 15 and 16.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 16.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.

exerciser, the console will turn off
automatically.
