HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT 1. Turn on the console. See step 1 on page 15. 2. Select a preset workout. To select a weight loss workout, press the Wt. Loss Workouts button repeatedly; to select an aerobic fitness workout, press the Aerobic Workouts button; to select a competition workout, press the Competition Workouts button. When you select a preset workout, the name of the workout, the workout time, and the maximum pace and resistance level for the workout will appear in the display for a few seconds. A profile of the resistance levels of the workout will then appear in the display. Profile 3. Begin pedaling to start the workout. Each workout is divided into 20, 30, or 45 oneminute 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 two or more consecutive segments. 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 appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The resistance of the pedals will then change. As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for the current segment. When an upward-pointing arrow or the prompt SPEED UP appears next to the pace information in the display (see step 4 on page 18), increase your pace. When a downward-pointing arrow or the prompt SLOW DOWN appears, decrease your pace. When no arrow or prompt appears, 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 Quick Resistance 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. 17
