HOW TO USE AN ONBOARD WORKOUT
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the
console to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the display will turn
on. The console will then be ready for use.
2. Select an onboard workout.
To select an onboard workout, press the Calorie
Workouts button or the Performance Workouts but-
ton repeatedly until the desired workout appears in
the display.
When you select an onboard workout, the display
will show the duration of the workout and the name
of the workout. A profile of the speed settings of the
workout will appear in the matrix.
The display will also show the maximum pedaling
speed (rpm) and the maximum resistance level.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into one-minute segments.
One resistance level and one target rpm (speed)
are programmed for each segment. Note: The
same resistance level and/or target rpm may be
programmed for consecutive segments.
The resistance level and the target rpm for the first
segment will appear in the matrix.
During
the work-
out, the
profile on
the speed
tab will
show your
progress.
The flashing segment of the profile represents the
current segment of the workout. The height of the
flashing segment indicates the target rpm for the
current segment.
Profile
18
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 rpm is programmed for
the next segment, the resistance level and/or target
rpm will appear 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 speed near the target rpm for the cur-
rent segment. When an upward-pointing arrow
appears in the display, increase your pace. When
a downward-pointing arrow appears, decrease
your pace. When no arrow appears, maintain
your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target rpm is intended only to
provide motivation. Your actual pedaling speed
may be slower than the target rpm. Make sure
to pedal at a speed that is comfortable 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. The time will flash in the display. To
resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 15.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 16.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 17.
