Both heart rate programs
—As you pedal, the
console will regularly compare your heart rate to
the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is
too far below or above the target heart rate set-
ting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate clos-
er to the target heart rate setting.
You will also be prompted to pedal at a steady
pace. When the color of the RPM display on the
screen is white or blue, increase your pace. When
the RPM display is yellow or pink, decrease your
pace. When the RPM display is green, maintain
your current pace.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Note: You can manually override the resistance
level setting; however, if you change the resis-
tance level, you might not maintain the target heart
rate. Also, when the console compares your heart
rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance
of the pedals may automatically increase or
decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the tar-
get heart rate setting.
6. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 15.
7. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 16.
8. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 16.
HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the
screen will light.
2. Select a custom program.
To select a custom program, press the Create
Your Own button once or twice until the desired
custom program appears on the screen.
3. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program, and program the desired
settings.
Each custom program is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. You can program one resistance
level and one target pace for each segment.
To program a resistance level for the first segment,
simply adjust the resistance of the pedals by
pressing the OneTouch Resistance buttons. To
program a target pace for the first segment, simply
pedal at the desired pace.
At the end of the first segment, the program will
store the current resistance level and your current
pace in memory. Program a resistance level and a
target pace for the second segment as described
above.
Continue exercising for up to forty minutes. Press
the Create Your Own button when you are finished
with your workout. The program you created will
then be stored in memory. Note: If your workout is
less than forty minutes long, any remaining seg-
ments in the program will be stored with the last
programmed resistance level and target pace.
4. When the program is finished, the console will
turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 16.
