HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM 5. Begin pedaling to start the program. 1. Press any button on the console or begin pedaling to turn on the console. See step 1 on page 15. Heart rate program 1 is divided into 40 oneminute segments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or select a different program before the program ends. 2. Select a heart rate program. To select one of the heart rate programs, press the Heart Rate 1 or the Heart Rate 2 button on the left side of the console. Heart rate program 2 is divided into 30 oneminute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for consecutive segments. 3. Enter a target heart rate setting. A few seconds after you select a heart rate program, the target heart rate setting for the program will flash in the lower right display. During the program, the program profile in the display will show your progress. The flashing segment of the profile represents the current segment of the program. The height of the flashing segment indicates the target heart rate setting for the current segment. At the end of each segment of the program, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash. During heart rate program 1, the same target heart rate setting will be programmed for all segments of the program. If you have selected heart rate program 1, press the increase and decrease buttons above the Heart Rate Program buttons to enter the desired target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 21). During heart rate program 2, different target heart rate settings will be programmed for different segments of the program. If you have selected heart rate program 2, press the increase and decrease buttons above the Heart Rate Program buttons to enter the desired maximum target heart rate setting for the program (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 21). 4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor. It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during heart rate programs; however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the programs to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. During both programs, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for the current segment of the program. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. Each time the resistance changes, the resistance level will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you. 18
