To vary the motion of the pedals, you can change the incline of the frame. To change the incline, press the Incline increase and decrease buttons.  To set a power output target, press the Watts increase and decrease buttons until the desired power output target appears in the display. Note: After you press a button, it will take a moment for the frame to reach the selected incline level. 5. Do interval training, if desired. As you exercise, you can alternate between intervals of low-intensity (recovery) exercise and intervals of high-intensity (work) exercise, if desired. To create a recovery interval, first adjust the resistance of the pedals to the desired level. Then, press and hold the Recovery button until two tones sound to save the interval setting. To create a work interval, first adjust the resistance of the pedals to the desired level. Then, press and hold the Work button until two tones sound to save the interval setting. Note: After you set a power output target, the resistance level will automatically adjust to a preset level. You can manually override the preset level at any time. If you set a power output target during the manual mode, a flashing indicator will appear in the power ring to indicate your power output target. As you exercise, adjust your pedaling speed or the resistance of the pedals to keep your power output near the power output target. Actual Power Output Power Output Target As you exercise, press the Recovery and Work buttons as desired to alternate between the saved interval settings. After you press a button, the resistance of the pedals will automatically adjust to the level that you saved. To change the interval settings at any time during your workout, simply repeat this step. To change the power output target at any time during your workout, simply repeat the actions above. 6. Follow your progress with the power ring, and set a power output target, if desired. The power ring will provide a visual representation of your power output in watts per kilogram of body weight. As your power output increases or decreases, a solid bar will appear or disappear in the power ring. Solid Bar IMPORTANT: The power output target is intended only to provide motivation. Make sure to pedal at a speed and a resistance level that is comfortable for you.  During an onboard workout, the power ring will show the preset power output target for each segment of the workout (see step 4 on page 18). 15

Do interval training, if desired.
As you exercise, you can alternate between
intervals of low-intensity (recovery) exercise
and intervals of high-intensity (work) exercise, if
desired.
To create a recovery interval, first adjust the
resistance of the pedals to the desired level. Then,
press and hold the Recovery button until two tones
sound to save the interval setting.
To create a work interval, first adjust the resistance
of the pedals to the desired level. Then, press and
hold the Work button until two tones sound to save
the interval setting.
As you exercise, press the Recovery and Work
buttons as desired to alternate between the saved
interval settings. After you press a button, the resis-
tance of the pedals will automatically adjust to the
level that you saved.
To change the interval settings at any time during
your workout, simply repeat this step.
6.
Follow your progress with the power ring, and
set a power output target, if desired.
The power ring
will provide a
visual representa-
tion of your power
output in watts
per kilogram of
body weight. As
your power out-
put increases or
decreases, a solid
bar will appear or
disappear in the
power ring.
To set a power output target,
press the Watts
increase and decrease buttons until the desired
power output target appears in the display.
Note: After you set a power output target, the
resistance level will automatically adjust to a preset
level. You can manually override the preset level at
any time.
If you set a power output target during the
manual mode,
a flashing indicator will appear in
the power ring to indicate your power output target.
As you exercise, adjust your pedaling speed or the
resistance of the pedals to keep your power output
near the power output target.
To change the power output target at any time
during your workout, simply repeat the actions
above.
IMPORTANT: The power output target is
intended only to provide motivation. Make sure
to pedal at a speed and a resistance level that
is comfortable for you.
During an onboard workout,
the power ring will
show the preset power output target for each seg-
ment of the workout (see step 4 on page 18).
