Each custom program is divided into 40 one-

ment. 

At the end of each segment, the resistance level
will appear on the screen. The resistance of the
pedals will then automatically change to the resis-
tance level programmed for the next segment.

As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target pace setting
for the current segment. When the color of the
RPM display on the screen is white or blue,
increase your pace. When the RPM display is yel-
low or pink, decrease your pace. When the RPM
display is green, maintain your current pace.
