HOW TO USE A WATTS WORKOUT 1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 15. 2. Select a watts workout. To select a watts workout, first press the Watts Workouts button. Next, turn the resistance dial until the number of the desired workout appears in the display. Then, press the Enter button to select the workout. If you select watts workout 1, the words ENTER WATTS TARGET will appear in the display. If you select watts workout 2 or 3, the workout time and a profile of the resistance levels for the workout will appear in the display. 3. If you selected watts workout 1, enter a target watts setting. During watts workout 1, the same target watts setting will be programmed for all segments of the workout. Turn the resistance dial to enter the desired target watts setting. 4. Begin pedaling to start the workout. Watts workout 1 is divided into 40 one-minute segments. During the workout, the console will regularly compare your watts output to the target watts setting you entered for the workout. If your watts output is too far below or above the target watts setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your watts output closer to the target watts setting. Each time the resistance changes, the resistance level will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you. If the target watts setting is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by turning the resistance dial. Watts workout 2 or 3 is divided into 40 one-minute segments. One resistance level and one target watts level are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance level and/or target watts level may be programmed for consecutive segments. The workout profile will show your progress (see the drawing at the left). 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. As you exercise, you will be prompted to pedal at a target speed. When an upward arrow or the word FASTER appears in the display, increase your speed. When a downward arrow or the word SLOWER appears, decrease your speed. When no arrow appears or the words ON TARGET appear, maintain your current speed. 19
