workout will appear in the matrix.

The maximum resistance level and the maximum

speed for the workout will also appear in the

display.

3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.

Each workout is divided into one-minute seg-

ments. One resistance level and one target speed

is programmed for each segment. Note: The same

resistance level and/or target speed may be pro-

grammed for consecutive segments.

During the

workout,

the profile

on the

speed

tab will

show your

progress.

The flashing segment of the profile represents the

current segment of the workout. The height of the

flashing segment indicates the target speed for the

current 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 different resis-

tance level and/or target speed is programmed for

the next segment, the resistance level and/or target

speed 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 speed near the target speed for the cur-

rent segment. When an upward-pointing arrow

appears in the display, increase your pace. When

a downward-pointing arrow appears, decrease

your pace. When no arrow appears, maintain

your current pace.

IMPORTANT: The target speed is intended only

to provide motivation. Your actual pedaling

speed may be slower than the target speed.

Make sure to pedal at a speed that is comfort-

able 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.

IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the

workout ends, the pedals will automatically

adjust to the resistance level programmed for

the next segment.

The workout will continue in this way until the last

segment ends. To stop the workout at any time,

stop pedaling. The time will flash in the display. To

resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.

4. Follow your progress with the display.

See step 4 on page 21.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 22.

6. When you are finished exercising, the console

will turn off automatically.

See step 6 on page 22.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

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.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-

sity 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.

To fi nd t he p ro pe r in te ns it y le ve l, f in d yo ur a ge a t th e

bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-

est 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.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-

cise 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.

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.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body

temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation

for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-

utes 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 stretch-

ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles

and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To ma in ta in o r im pr ov e yo ur c on di ti on , co mp le te t hr ee

workouts each week, with at least one day of rest

between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-

cise, 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.

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physi-

cian. This is especially important for persons

over age 35 or persons with pre-existing

health problems.

The heart rate monitor is not a medical device.

Various factors may affect the accuracy of

heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is

intended only as an exercise aid in determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.

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. 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

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.
