HOW TO USE A USER-DEFINED WORKOUT 1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console. The workout will continue in this way until the last segment ends. To pause the workout, stop pedaling. The time will pause in the display. To resume the workout, simply resume pedaling. When you turn on the console, the display will turn on. The console will then be ready for use. 2. Select a user-defined workout. 4. Change the workout if desired. If desired, you can change the workout while you are using it. To select a user-defined workout, press the User Defined button repeatedly until the name of the desired workout appears in the display. The display will also show a profile of the resistance settings of the workout. Note: To create a user-defined workout, see HOW TO CREATE A USER-DEFINED WORKOUT on page 20. To change the resistance level for the current segment, simply press the Quick Resistance buttons. At the end of the current segment, the new resistance level will be stored in memory. To change the target rpm for the current segment, simply change your pedaling speed. At the end of the current segment, your pedaling speed will be stored in memory. 3. Start the workout. Each workout is divided into segments. One resistance level and one target rpm (speed) are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance level and/or target rpm may be programmed for consecutive segments. During the workout, the 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 resistance level for the current segment. If desired, you can shorten the workout. To shorten the workout, press any workout button on the console, and then press the Enter button to trim the workout. If desired, you can extend the workout when you reach the end of the workout. To extend the workout, follow the instructions in the matrix. Continue exercising for up to one hundred minutes. Press the Home button when you are finished with your workout. Then, press the Enter button. The workout will then be stored in memory. At the end of each segment of the workout, the resistance of the pedals will change. As you exercise, keep your pedaling speed near the target rpm for the current segment. IMPORTANT: The target rpm is intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pedaling speed may be slower than the target rpm. Make sure to pedal at a speed that is comfortable for you. 5. Follow your progress. See step 4 on page 17. 6. Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 18. 7. Turn on the fan if desired. 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. IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the workout ends, the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance level programmed for the next segment. See step 6 on page 18. 8. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically. See step 7 on page 18. 21
