HOW to USE a Heart Rate Program

4Measure your heart rate if desired

Refer to step 5 on page 7. Note: If your heart rate is not shown, press the reset button to reset the pulse sensor.

5Whenpoweryou are finished exercising, turn off the

To turn off the power, simply wait for about three minutes. If the pedals are not moved and the console buttons are not pressed for three minutes, the power will turn off automatically.

Each heart rate program automatically adjusts the resistance of the pedals to keep your heart rate near a certain level while you exercise.

Programs 7 and 8 are low-intensity fat burning pro- grams. To burn fat, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. As you exercise, stride at a relatively slow speed; the resistance of the pedals will increase or decrease as needed to keep your heart rate at the proper level.

Programs 9, 10, and 11 are moderate-intensity aerobic programs. For aerobic exercise, you must exercise at a moderate intensity level for a prolonged period of time. As you exercise, stride at a moderate speed; the resistance of the pedals will increase or decrease as needed to keep your heart rate at the proper level.

WARNING: The pulse sensor may give read- ings lower than your actual heart rate, espe- cially at fast striding speeds. Stop exercising and cool down if you feel faint or dizzy.

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

1Turn on the power

To turn on the power, press any button on the console. Note: If batteries were just installed, the power will already be on.

2Enter your age into the console

Before you use a heart rate program, you must enter your age into the console. First, press the age set button. The let-

ters ÒAGEÓ and the current age setting will appear at the bottom of the display. Press the resistance

+or Ð button to enter your age. After you have entered your age, the display will change back to the main display in about five seconds.

3Select one of the heart rate programs

Each time the power is turned on, the

manual program will be selected, as

shown by the ÒP-1Ó in the display. To select

one of the heart rate programs, press the program button repeatedly until a ÒP-7,Ó ÒP-8,Ó ÒP-9,Ó ÒP10Ó or ÒP11Ó appears in the display.

Each heart rate program is designed to keep your heart rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart rate while you exercise. (Your maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart rate is 190.)

Program 7 (P-7) will keep your heart rate near 50% of your maximum heart rate while you exer- cise; P-8 will keep your heart rate near 60% of your maximum heart rate; P-9 will keep your heart rate near 70% of your maximum heart rate; P10 will keep your heart rate near 80% of your maximum heart rate; and P11 will keep your heart rate near 90% of your maximum heart rate.

with the matrix on

the left side of the

display. During the

first ten seconds of

the program, the first column of the matrix will flash. After ten seconds, the column will move to the right and the first column will continue to flash. At the end of every ten seconds, all columns will move to the right and the first column will continue to flash. Note: As the resistance level of the pedals changes (see step 5 on page 9), the height of the flashing column will also change.

In addition to the matrix, the display will show your striding speed, the number of Calories you have burned, the elapsed time, and your total distance.

Note: When a heart rate program is used, the resistance buttons will not function.
