HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1.Begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the dis- play will light.
2.Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the two heart rate program, press the Certified Personal Trainer Programs button repeatedly until Heart Rate 1 or 2 appears in the display. The program time and a profile of the tar- get heart rate settings for the program will also appear in the display.
3.Enter a target heart rate setting.
When you select a
heart rate program, the maximum tar- get heart rate set- ting will flash in the center of the dis- play. If desired, use
the increase and
decrease buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting, and then press the Enter button. Note: If you change the maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity level of the entire program will change.
4.Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen- sor continuously during a heart rate program; how- ever, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the program to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
5.Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program is divided into either 20 or 30
The target heart rate setting for the first segment will be indicated by the height of the flashing col- umn of the profile in the display. The target heart rate settings for the next several segments will be indicated by the heights of the columns to the right of the flashing column.
When the first segment of the program ends, the entire profile will shift one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing column of the profile.
As you pedal, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
You will also be
prompted to pedal
at a steady pace. When an upward arrow appears in the display,
increase your pace.
When a downward arrow appears in the display, decrease your pace. When no arrows appear in the display, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to exercise at a pace
that is comfortable for you. Note: You can man- ually override the resistance settings; however, you may not maintain the target heart rate. Also, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the ped- als may automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
The program will continue in this way until the last segment ends. To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will begin to flash in the display. To restart the pro- gram, simply resume pedaling.
