SIX PRE-SET Workouts

AROUND THE WORLD, CASCADES, FOOTHILLS, INTERVAL, KILIMANJARO, and SPEED TRAINING are variations of the HILL workout. These workouts cannot be changed “on the fly.”

AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical areas.

CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.

FOOTHILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.

INTERVAL is a HILL workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a peak and then gradually decline.

KILIMANJARO is a HILL workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then grad- ually decline.

SPEED TRAINING is a HILL workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low levels very quickly to simulate a typical speed training workout.

TOTAL BODY WORKOUT

During this workout, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to emphasize different muscle groups. To emphasize upper-body muscles, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to focus on pushing and pulling the moving arms

at various times. To emphasize lower-body muscles, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to rest the hands on the stationary handlebar, thus forcing the legs to do all the work. The program also alternates between forward and reverse motion as well as different speeds.

Ten seconds after prompting the user to change pedaling direction, the workout applies “braking resistance,” that is, a high resistance level that essentially forces the user to stop pedaling. Once the user stops pedaling, the workout resumes the normal resistance level. The actual level of braking resistance depends on the user’s pedaling RPM. If the user is ped- aling at a rate equal to, or faster than, 65 RPM, the workout applies the maximum level of braking resistance. If the user is pedaling at a speed below 65 RPM, the workout applies 92% of the maximum.

TOTAL BODY WORKOUT is a constant-resistance workout. However, for a similar experience with a variable-resistance- level workout, the user can start any workout, except for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE IN- TERVAL, EXTREME HEART RATE, or EZ RESISTANCE; and then press the TOTAL BODY TRAINER key.

LOWER BODY WORKOUT

During this workout, the MESSAGE CENTER displays alternating prompts to use pedal forward for five minutes and then backward motion for two minutes. This feature varies the emphasis on different leg muscles. Ten seconds after prompting the user to change pedaling direction, the workout applies “braking resistance,” that is, a high resistance level that essen- tially forces the user to stop pedaling. Once the user stops pedaling, the workout resumes the normal resistance level.

The actual level of braking resistance depends on the user’s pedaling RPM. If the user is pedaling at a rate equal to, or faster than, 65 RPM, the workout applies the maximum level of braking resistance. If the user is pedaling at a speed below 65 RPM, the workout applies 92% of the maximum.

LOWER BODY WORKOUT is a constant-resistance workout. However, for a similar experience with a variable-resis- tance-level workout, the user can start any workout, except for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, EXTREME HEART RATE, or EZ RESISTANCE; and then press the LOWER BODY TRAINER key.
