HOW TO USE A RESISTANCE & RPM WORKOUT 1. Press the decrease button or begin pedaling to turn on the console. A moment after the console is turned on, the displays will light. 2. Select one of the resistance & rpm workouts. Press the Workouts button repeatedly until "P 5," "P 6," "P 7," "P 8," "P 9," or "P10" appears in the right display. When a resistance & rpm workout is selected, a profile of the resistance levels of the workout will scroll across the center display. The left display will show how long the workout will last. Profile 3. Begin pedaling to start the workout. Each workout is divided into 30 or 45 one-minute segments. One resistance level and one target pace setting are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance level and/or target pace setting may be programmed for consecutive segments. 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. 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. 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 the last segment of the profile flashes and the last segment of the workout ends. Note: If you continue to pedal after the workout is completed, the displays will continue to show exercise feedback; however, the display will not show the elapsed time until you select the manual mode or a new workout. During the workout, the workout profile will show your progress (see the drawing above). The flashing segment of the profile represents the current segment of the workout. The height of the flashing segment indicates the resistance level for the current segment. 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 resistance level is programmed for the next segment, the resistance level will flash in the center display for a few seconds to alert you. The resistance of the pedals will then change. 4. Follow your progress with the displays. See step 4 on page 15. 5. Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 16. 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. 18
