HOW TO USE AN INTENSITY WORKOUT 1. Turn on the console. See step 1 on page 13. 2. Select an intensity workout. To select an intensity workout, press the Programs By Intensity button that has the desired workout profile. When you select an intensity workout, an indicator will light next to the button for the selected workout. The name of the workout will then appear in the display for a few seconds and a profile of the resistance levels of the workout will scroll across the matrix. Profile During the workout, 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. 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. To increase or decrease the overall intensity of the workout, press the + and - buttons next to the matrix. The resistance levels of all remaining segments in the workout will then increase or decrease proportionately. As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for the current segment. When the words PEDAL FASTER appear in the display, increase your pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER appear, decrease your pace. When no words appear, 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. 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. 17
