FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When you use the manual mode of the
console, you can change the resistance of the pedals
with the touch of a button. While you exercise, the
console will display continuous exercise feedback. You
can also measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor. 

The console also features twenty preset programs.
Each program automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you to vary your pedaling
pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
Choose among fitness, performance, and weight loss
programs for a targeted workout.

The console also offers two heart rate programs that
automatically control the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling pace to
keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings
during your workouts. 

In addition, the console offers two custom programs
that allow you to create your own workout programs
and store them in memory for future use.

Whether you use the manual mode or a program, you
can enjoy the personal television while you get in
shape. You can even connect your DVD player or
VCR to the personal television.

The console also features an information mode that
allows you to adjust the television screen settings and
to set channels into the television’s memory.
