HOW TO USE A HEART RATE CONTROL WORKOUT 1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console. When you turn on the console, the display will turn on. The console will then be ready for use. 2. Select a heart rate control workout. Different target heart rate settings will be programmed for different segments of the workout. Press the resistance increase and decrease buttons to enter the desired maximum target heart rate setting for the workout (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 24). The workout time and a profile of the resistance levels for the workout will then appear in the display. To select a heart rate control workout, press the Heart Rate Control button repeatedly until the profile of the desired workout appears in the display. 4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor. It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during heart rate workouts; however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the workouts to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 15 seconds. 5. Begin pedaling to start the workout. Profile Each workout is divided into 20 or 30 one-minute 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 workout, the words ADJUST MAX TARGET HEART RATE will appear in the display and the number 110 will begin to flash. During the workout, the workout profile will show your progress. The flashing segment of the profile represents the current segment of the workout. The height of the flashing segment indicates the target heart rate for the current segment. The console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for the current segment of the workout. 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. 16
