PROGRAM KEYS
The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on
you may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you
decide that you want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press
the Enter key to select the program and enter into the data-setting mode.
The fitness bike has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse
sensors on the stationary handle bars or wearing the heart rate transmitter (see Using Heart
Rate Transmitter section) will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds).The
Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate, or Pulse in beats per minute.
The consoles include a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, press the button
on the left side of the console.
PROGRAMMING THE CONSOLE
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit
your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are
correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during
the Heart Rate programs to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age.
Otherwise the work settings could be too high or low for you. Entering your Weight aides in
calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie
count, we do want to be as close as possible.
CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a
gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to
monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn
accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every
person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will
continue to burn calories at an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you have finished
exercising!
ENTERING A PROGRAM AND CHANGING SETTINGS
When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then Enter key, you have the option
of entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings,
then just press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly
to the start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the
instructions in the Message Center. If you start a program without changing the settings, the
default or saved settings will be used.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age and Weight
entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the first time you use the
Fitness bike, you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your Age or Weight changes, or
someone else enters a different Age and Weight.
