HOW TO USE A WEIGHT LOSS WORKOUT 1. Press the decrease button or begin pedaling to turn on the console. A moment after you turn on the console, the displays will light. 2. Select one of the weight loss workouts. Press the Workouts button repeatedly until "P 1," "P 2," "P 3," or "P 4" appears in the right display. When a weight loss workout is selected, the number of calories to be burned will appear in the display. If the resistance level for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the decrease and increase buttons. However, when the current segment ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance level for the next segment. Note: If you manually override the resistance settings of a weight loss workout, you may not reach the calorie goal. If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The workout will continue until zeros appear in the calories display and the workout ends. 3. Begin pedaling to start the workout. 4. Follow your progress with the displays. Each weight loss workout will help you burn 300, 400, 500, or 600 calories. During each workout, the console will count down the number of calories to be burned. A weight loss workout is divided into one-minute segments. One resistance level and one target pace setting are programmed for each segment of the workout. Note: The same resistance level and/or target pace setting may be programmed for consecutive segments. If a different resistance level is programmed for the next segment of the workout, the resistance level will appear in the center display for a few seconds to alert you. The resistance of the pedals will then change. During a weight loss workout, the left display will show the elapsed time, the approximate number of grams of carbs you have burned, and the number of calories to be burned during the remaining segments of the workout. This information will appear in a repeating cycle. The other displays will show the information described in step 4 on page 15. 5. Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 16. As you exercise, you will also be prompted to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for the current segment. When a TOO SLOW indicator is lit, increase your pace. When a TOO FAST indicator is lit, decrease your pace. When the center indicator is lit, maintain your current pace. IMPORTANT: The target pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you. 6. Turn on the fan if desired. See step 6 on page 16. 7. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically. See step 7 on page 16. 17

HOW TO USE A WEIGHT LOSS WORKOUT
1.
Press the decrease button or begin pedaling
to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the dis-
plays will light.
2.
Select one of the weight loss workouts.
Press the Workouts button repeatedly until “P 1,”
“P 2,” “P 3,” or “P 4” appears in the right display.
When a weight loss workout is selected, the num-
ber of calories to be burned will appear in the dis-
play.
3.
Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each weight loss workout will help you burn 300,
400, 500, or 600 calories. During each workout,
the console will count down the number of calo-
ries to be burned.
A weight loss workout is divided into one-minute
segments. One resistance level and one target
pace setting are programmed for each segment
of the workout. Note: The same resistance level
and/or target pace setting may be programmed for
consecutive segments.
If a different resistance level is programmed for
the next segment of the workout, the resistance
level will appear in the center display for a few
seconds to alert you. The resistance of the pedals
will then change.
As you exercise, you will also be prompted to
keep your pedaling pace near the target pace
setting for the current segment. When a TOO
SLOW indicator is lit, increase your pace. When a
TOO FAST indicator is lit, decrease your pace.
When the center indicator is lit, maintain your cur-
rent pace.
IMPORTANT: The target pace set-
tings are intended only to provide motivation.
Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort-
able 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 decrease and increase
buttons. However, when the current segment
ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the
resistance level for the next segment.
Note: If you manually override the resistance set-
tings of a weight loss workout, you may not reach
the calorie goal.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To
restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The
workout will continue until zeros appear in the
calories display and the workout ends.
