5. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each heart rate workout is divided into 20 or 30
one-minute segments. One target heart rate is pro-
grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-
get heart rate may be programmed for consecutive
segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The small
arrow below the workout profile indicates the cur-
rent segment of the workout. The height of the seg-
ment indicates the target heart rate for the current
segment. At the end of each segment of the work-
out, a series of tones will sound and the small
arrow will move to the next segment of the profile.
During a heart rate workout
,
the console will regu-
larly compare your heart rate to the target heart
rate for the current segment of the workout. If your
heart rate is too far below or above the target heart
rate, the resistance of the pedals will automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer
to the target heart rate. Each time the resistance
changes, the resistance level will appear in the dis-
play for a few seconds to alert you.
You will also be prompted to pedal at a steady
pace so you can maintain your target heart rate.
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: Make sure to pedal at a pace that
is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for
the current segment is too high or too low, you can
manually override the setting by pressing the
Resistance buttons. Note: If you manually override
the resistance settings, you may not maintain your
target heart rate.
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically ad-
just to the resistance level for the next seg-
ment.
The workout will continue in this way until the small
arrow reaches the right end of the profile. To stop
the workout at any time, stop pedaling. A tone will
sound and the time will begin to flash in the dis-
play. To restart the workout, simply resume pedal-
ing.
6. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during heart rate workouts; how-
ever, 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.
7. Follow your progress with the display.
When you use a heart rate workout, the display will
show the time remaining in the workout, the dis-
tance you have pedaled, the resistance level, the
approximate number of calories you have burned,
and your pedaling pace in revolutions per minute
(rpm).
8. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 17.
9. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 8 on page 17.
