HOW TO USE A CROSS TRAINING PROGRAM 1 Press the Resistance decrease button or begin pedaling to turn on the console. A moment after you turn on the console, the display will light. 2 Select one of the five cross training programs. To select a cross training program, press the Programs button repeatedly until the name of the desired cross training program appears in the display. When a cross training program is selected, the program time will appear in the display and a profile of the resistance settings for the program will scroll across the matrix in the display. When the first segment is completed, all resistance settings will move one column to the left. The resistance setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the resistance of the pedals will automatically adjust to the setting for the second segment. Note: If all the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit, the resistance settings may move downward so that only the highest indicators appear in the matrix. 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 in the display, decrease your pace. When the words PEDALING IN RANGE appear, maintain your current pace. 3 Begin pedaling to start the program. Each program is divided into 25, 30, or 45 oneminute segments. One resistance setting and one target rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are programmed for most segments. (Note: The same resistance and/or target rpm setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.) During other segments, the console will prompt you to perform strength exercises. The resistance setting for the first segment Current Segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the matrix. The resis- tance settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right. The target rpm setting will appear in the top of the display. When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash and a series of tones will sound. If the resistance and/or target rpm is about to change, the resistance setting and/or the target rpm setting will appear in the display to alert you. Important: The target rpm settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the target rpm settings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you. If the resistance setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Resistance decrease or increase buttons. Every few times you press a Resistance button, an additional indicator will appear or disappear in the Current Segment column; if any of the columns to the right of the Current Segment column have the same number of lit indicators as the Current Segment column, an additional indicator may appear or disappear in those columns as well. Important: When the current segment of the program ends, the elliptical exerciser will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the next segment. To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling. The time will begin to flash in the display. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling. 16
