FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE
1. Turn on the console.

The easy-to-use console features six modes that provide instant exercise feedback during your workouts.
The console modes are described below.

To turn on the console, press the button on the
console or simply begin pedaling.

Scan (SCAN)—This mode displays the time, speed,
distance, calorie, and pulse modes, for a few seconds
each, in succession.

2. Select a mode.

Scan mode—To select the scan mode, repeatedly
press the button until an arrow appears next to the
word SCAN.

Time (TIME)—This mode displays the elapsed time.

Distance (DIST)—This mode displays the distance (in
kilometers) you have pedaled during your workout.

Time, speed, distance, or calorie mode—To
select one of these modes for continuous display,
repeatedly press the button until an arrow appears
next to the desired selection. Make sure that
there is no arrow next to the word SCAN.

Speed (SPEED)—This mode displays your pedaling
speed, in kilometers per hour.

Calorie (CAL)—This mode displays the approximate
number of calories you have burned during your workout.

Note: To reset the modes, press and hold the button until zeroes appear in the display.

Pulse (PULSE)—This mode displays your heart rate
when you hold the handgrip pulse sensors.

3. Begin pedaling and follow your progress with
the display.
As you exercise, the console will display the
mode(s) that you select.

HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES

4. Measure your heart rate, if desired.

The console requires two AAA batteries (not included);
alkaline batteries are recommended. Remove the top
cover of the console, insert the batteries into the battery compartment, and reattach the top cover of the
console. Make sure that the batteries are oriented
as shown by the diagrams inside the battery compartment. Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on
the face of the console, remove the plastic.

If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal
contacts of the handgrip pulse sensor, remove
the plastic. Place your hands on the handgrip
pulse sensor, with your palms on the contacts.
Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is
detected, your heart rate will be shown.

For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 30 seconds.

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 tightly. For optimal performance,
periodically clean the metal contacts using a soft
cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts.

5. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.

The console has an “auto-off” feature. If the pedals
do not move and the console button is not pressed
for a few minutes, the power will turn off automatically to save the batteries.

10

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries.

To clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild detergent. IMPORTANT: To
avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away
from the console and keep the console out of
direct sunlight.

To replace the batteries, see HOW TO INSTALL
BATTERIES on page 10 and insert two batteries into
the console.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:

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.

Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons
over age 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

1

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

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.

3
4

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.
