FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more effective. When
the manual mode of the console is selected, the resistance of the pedals can be changed with the touch of
a button. As you pedal, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your
heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.

1. Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press the Increase button
or begin pedaling. The pace guide will light for a
moment; the console will then be ready for use.
2. Select the manual mode.

In addition, the console features two pulse programs
that change the resistance of the pedals and help you
to maintain a steady pedaling pace to keep your heart
rate near a target heart rate setting while you exercise.

When the power is turned on, the manual mode
will be selected. If you have selected a program,
reselect the manual mode by pressing the
Program button repeatedly until no program indicators (see the drawing above) appear along the
left side of the display.

The console also offers four preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective
workout.

3. Change the resistance of the pedals as
desired.
As you pedal,
change the resistance of the pedals
by pressing the
Increase and
Decrease buttons.
There are ten resistance levels. Note: After the buttons are pressed, it
will take a moment for the pedals to reach the
selected resistance level.

To use the manual mode of the console, see the
instructions at the right. To use a pulse program, see
page 14. To use a preset program, see page 15.
Before using the console, make sure that batteries are
installed (see assembly step 5 on page 8). If there is a
sheet of clear plastic on the display, remove the plastic.

4. Monitor your progress with the display.

For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrip pulse sensor for about 30
seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart
rate for about 30 seconds. The display will then
show your heart rate along with the other modes.

The upper half of
the display will show
the elapsed time,
the distance (total
revolutions) you
have pedaled, and
the resistance level
of the pedals. The display will change from one
mode to the next every few seconds. Note: When
a program is selected (except for pulse program
2), the display will show the time remaining in the
program instead of the elapsed time.

If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that
your hands are positioned as described. Avoid
moving your hands excessively or squeezing the
metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, periodically clean the metal contacts using
a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or
chemicals.

The lower half of the
display will show
your pedaling speed
(revolutions per
minute [RPM]) and
the approximate
number of calories
you have burned. The display will change from
one mode to the other every few seconds. The
lower half of the display will also show your heart
rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (see
step 5).

6. Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan at low speed, press the fan button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the fan
button a second time. To turn off the fan, press the
fan button a third time. Note: If the fan is turned on
but the pedals are not moved for thirty seconds,
the fan will automatically turn off to conserve the
batteries.
Rotate the thumb
tab on the right side
of the fan to adjust
the angle of the fan.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are sheets
of clear plastic on
Contacts
the metal contacts
on the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the plastic.
Next, hold the handgrip pulse sensor
with your palms
resting on the contacts. When your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the lower half of
the display will flash each time your heart beats,
and your heart rate will be shown.

Tab

7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, the
time will begin to flash and the console will pause.
If the pedals are not moved for a few minutes, the
console will turn off and the display will be reset.

HOW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM

5. Begin pedaling to start the program.

Pulse program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate
within a set range during your workout. Pulse program
2 is designed to keep your heart rate near a target
heart rate setting that you select.

Pulse program 1 is 30 minutes long, and is divided into several time periods of different lengths.
One target heart rate is programmed for each period. Pulse program 2 is sixty minutes long (you
may choose to use only part of the program). The
same target heart rate is programmed for the
entire program.

Follow the steps below to use a pulse program.
1. Turn on the console.

During the program, 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 setting, the resistance of the
pedals will automatically increase or decrease to
being your heart rate closer to the target heart rate
setting. Note: If the resistance level is too high or
too low, you can override it by pressing the
Increase and Decrease buttons. However, when
the console compares your heart rate to the target
heart rate setting, the resistance may automatically change.

See step 1 on page 12.
2. Select a pulse program.
To select pulse program 1 or 2, press
the Program button
repeatedly until the
number 1 or 2
appears along the
left side of the display.

After the first minute of the program, the pace
guide will help you to maintain a steady pedaling
pace. When one of the two lower indicators lights,
increase your pace; when one of the two upper
indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the
center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The pace guide is intended only
to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace
that is comfortable for you.

3. Enter a target heart rate.
If pulse program 1 is selected, the maximum target heart rate setting for the program will flash in
the display (see the drawing above). Press the
Increase and Decrease buttons to change the setting, if desired (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on
page 17). If the maximum target heart rate setting
is increased or decreased, the intensity level of the
entire program will increase or decrease.
If pulse program 2 is selected, the target heart
rate setting for the entire program will flash in the
display. Press the Increase and Decrease buttons
to change the setting, if desired (see EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 17).
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

The display will show the time remaining in pulse
program 1, or the elapsed time in pulse program
2. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the program will pause and the time will flash in the display. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during a pulse program; however,
you must hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for
at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not
holding the handgrip pulse sensor, the letters PLS
will appear in the display instead of your heart
rate.

6. Monitor your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 13.

7. Turn on the fan if desired.

programmed for the next period. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can override
it by pressing the Increase and Decrease buttons.
However, when the current period ends, the resistance level will automatically change if a different
resistance level is programmed for the next period.

See step 6 on page 13.
8. When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 13.

During the program, the pace guide will prompt
you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace.
When one of the two lower indicators lights,
increase your pace; when one of the two upper
indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the
center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The pace guide is intended only
to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace
that is comfortable for you.

HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
Preset programs 3, 4, 5, and 6 automatically change
the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to
increase or decrease your pedaling pace as they
guide you through effective workouts. The profiles
printed on the left side of the display show how the
resistance level and the target pace will change during
the preset programs.
Follow the steps below to use a preset program.
1. Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 12.

The display will show the time remaining in the
program. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds,

pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere
with heart rate readings.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 30 seconds.
• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can
be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after
the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin
to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to
burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.

WARNING: Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
persons over the age of 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Warming up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise–never hold your breath.
Cooling down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your
muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then
relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and
back.
2
2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings,
lower back and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
3
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move
your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3
times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times
for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip
muscles.
