HOW to USE a Preset Program

1Turn on the console. See step 1 on page 14.

2Select a preset program.

To select a weight loss program, press the Weight Loss Programs button repeatedly; to select an aerobic fitness program, press the Aerobic Fitness Programs button; to select a competition program, press the Competition Programs button.

When you select a preset program, the name of the program, the program time, and the maximum pace and resistance level for the program will appear in the display for a few seconds. A profile of the resistance levels of the program will then appear in the display.

Profile

3Begin pedaling to start the program.

Each program is divided into 20, 30, or 45 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 two or more consecutive segments.

During the program, the program profile will show your progress (see the drawing above). The flashing segment of the profile represents the cur- rent segment of the program. The height of the flashing segment indicates the resistance level for the current segment. At the end of each seg- ment of the program, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a different resistance level is pro- grammed for the next segment, the resistance level 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

pace near the target pace setting for the

current segment.

When an upward-pointing arrow or the prompt SPEED UP appears next to the pace information in the display (see step 4 on page 17), increase your pace. When a downward-pointing arrow or the prompt SLOW DOWN appears, decrease your pace. When no arrow or prompt appears, maintain your current pace. Important: The tar- get pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable 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 OneTouch 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 program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling. The program will continue until the last segment of the profile flashes and the last segment of the pro- gram ends.
