The resistance in the pedals will steadily increase and then decrease during the program. Work Profile FATBURN The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat.

- Page 18 Heart Rate programs Before we get started, a word about 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 19: Rate Of Perceived Exertion
Rate of Perceived Exertion Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. 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. - Page 20 Heart Rate Control Program operation You must have your hands in contact with the hand pulse sensors at all times for the heart rate program to work. To start the HRC program follow the instructions below or just select the HRC program then the Enter button and follow the directions in the message window.
- Page 21 Maintenance: 1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. 2.
