HOW TO USE A CUSTOM WORKOUT
1. Press any button on the console or begin ped-
aling to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the display will
light. A tone will then sound and the console will
be ready for use.
2. Select a custom workout.
To select a custom workout, press the CUSTOM 1
or the CUSTOM 2 button. When you select a cus-
tom workout, the words CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2
will appear in the display for a few seconds and a
profile of the resistance levels of the workout will
scroll across the matrix.
Note: If only the first
row of indicators in the matrix is lit, see HOW
TO CREATE A CUSTOM WORKOUT on page 19.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each custom workout can have up to 40 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target pace setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance level and/or tar-
get pace setting may be programmed for consecu-
tive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress. The flashing segment of the profile
(see the drawing above) represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
segment indicates the resistance level for the cur-
rent 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 differ-
ent resistance level is programmed for the next
segment, the resistance level will appear in the
display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis-
tance of the pedals will then change.
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 pro-
vide motivation. 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.
However, when the current segment ends, the
pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance
level for the next segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series
of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To
restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The
workout will continue until the last segment of the
profile flashes and the last segment of the workout
ends.
4. Change the workout if desired.
If desired, you can change the workout while
using it.
To change the resistance level for the
current segment,
simply press the Resistance
buttons. At the end of the current segment, the
new resistance level will be stored in memory.
To
change the target pace for the current seg-
ment,
simply change your pedaling pace. At the
end of the current segment, your pace will be
stored in memory. You can continue exercising
and changing the workout for up to forty minutes.
5. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 14.
6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 15.
7. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 15.
8. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 7 on page 15.
