HOW TO USE A CUSTOM WORKOUT
1.Press any button on the console or begin ped- aling to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the display will light. A tone will then sound and the console will be ready for use.
2.Select a custom workout.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for the current segment. When the words PEDAL FASTER appear in the display, increase your pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER appear, decrease your pace. When no words appear, maintain your current pace. IMPORTANT: The target pace settings are intended only to pro- vide motivation. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
To select a custom workout, press the CUSTOM 1 or the CUSTOM 2 button. When you select a cus- tom workout, the words CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2 will appear in the display for a few seconds and a profile of the resistance levels of the workout will scroll across the matrix. Note: If only the first row of indicators in the matrix is lit, see HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM WORKOUT on page 18.

3.Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each custom workout can have up to 40 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 consecu- tive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile will show your progress. The flashing segment of the profile (see the drawing above) represents the current segment of the workout. The height of the flashing segment indicates the resistance level for the cur- rent 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 differ- ent resistance level is programmed for the next segment, the resistance level will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis- tance of the pedals will then change.
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. 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 workout will pause. To restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The workout will continue until the last segment of the profile flashes and the last segment of the workout ends.
4.Change the workout if desired.
If desired, you can change the workout while using it. To change the resistance level for the current segment, simply press the Resistance buttons. At the end of the current segment, the new resistance level will be stored in memory. To change the target pace for the current seg- ment, simply change your pedaling pace. At the end of the current segment, your pace will be stored in memory. You can continue exercising and changing the workout for up to forty minutes.
5.Follow your progress with the display. See step 4 on page 13.
6.Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 14.
7.Turn on the fan if desired. See step 6 on page 14.
