HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 14.
Select a preset program.
To select a weight loss program, press the
Weight Loss Programs button repeatedly; to
select an aerobic fitness program, press the
Aerobic Fitness Programs button; to select a
competition program, press the Competition
Programs button.
When you select a preset program, the name of
the program, the program time, and the maximum
pace and resistance level for the program will
appear in the display for a few seconds. A profile
of the resistance levels of the program will then
appear in the display.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into 20, 30, or 45 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 two or
more consecutive segments.
During the program, the program profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The
flashing segment of the profile represents the cur-
rent segment of the program. The height of the
flashing segment indicates the resistance level
for the current segment. At the end of each seg-
ment of the program, a series of tones will sound
and the next segment of the profile will begin to
flash. If a different resistance level is pro-
grammed for the next segment, the resistance
level will appear in the display for a few seconds
to alert you. The resistance 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 an upward-pointing arrow or the prompt
SPEED UP appears next to the pace information
in the display (see step 4 on page 16), increase
your pace. When a downward-pointing arrow or
the prompt SLOW DOWN appears, decrease
your pace. When no arrow or prompt appears,
maintain your current pace.
Important: The tar-
get pace settings are intended only to provide
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 OneTouch 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 program will pause. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling. The
program will continue until the last segment of the
profile flashes and the last segment of the pro-
gram ends.
