STEP 4 – Attaching the Monitor and Handlebars
a)Remove the four Phillips Bolts from the back of the Monitor.
b)Connect the Monitor Wire to the Monitor Connection Wire.
c)Connect the Right and Left Pulse Extension Wires to the two Pulse Connection Wires.
d)Attach the Monitor to the Monitor Tube by using the four Phillips Bolts that were removed in Step a.
Note: Do not pinch Wires while attaching the Monitor.
e)Connect the Left Pulse Sensor w/Wire to the Left Pulse Extension Wire located on the left side of the Monitor Tube.
f)Secure the Left Handlebar to the Monitor Tube with two Phillips Bolts and a Curved Washer for each.
Note: Do not pinch Wires while attaching the Left Handlebar.
g)Connect the Right Pulse Sensor w/Wire to the Right Pulse Extension Wire located on the right side of the Monitor Tube.
h)Secure the Right Handlebar to the Monitor Tube with two Phillips Bolts and a Curved Washer for each.
Note: Do not pinch Wires while attaching the Right Handlebar.
individual would need to keep their heart rate at or above 126 beats per minute to get a cardiovascular effect. Note: Although 70% was used in this example, the heart rate range needed to achieve results falls between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.
If you are just beginning your exercise program, your target heart rate range should be roughly at 60% of your maximum heart rate. As you become more conditioned (or if you are already in good cardiovascular shape) you can increase your target heart rate to 70% - 85% of your maximum heart rate. Remember, your target heart rate is only a guide.
When checking heart rate during a workout, take your pulse within five seconds after interrupting exercise because it starts to go down once you stop moving. Count pulse for 10 seconds and multiply by six to get the
CLOTHING
All exercise clothing should be
Never wear rubberized or plastic clothing, such garments interfere with the evaporation of perspiration and can cause body temperature to rise to dangerous levels.
We recommend wearing a workout shoe with a rubberized sole unless instructed otherwise.

Figure 4 - Install Monitor and Handlebars
Remember, your bike also comes with pulse sensors located on the handlebars.
When used properly, the unit pulse sensors can help you to determine your estimated heart rate. To do so:
a)Push the start button on your monitor.
b)Gently grab both metal pulse sensors on both handlebars. Wait 6 seconds.
c)Your estimated heart rate range will be displayed on screen. Check the chart on the following page to see if you are within your range according to your age.
When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors and display monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring should not rely on the estimations provided.
By using the chart on the following page you can see where your heart rate falls in the minimum and maximum target zones.
The above are guidelines, people with any medical limitations should discuss this formula with their physician.
4) | Include weight and/or percent body fat |
| measures in your log. Extra pounds can |
| easily creep back. |
5) | Upgrade your fitness program as you progress. |
| Your bike provides 5 different programs to |
| keep your workouts challenging. |
6) | Enlist the support and company of your family |
| and friends. |
7) | Update others on your successes. |
8) | Avoid injuries by pacing yourself and including |
| a warm up and cool down period as part of |
| every workout. See page 16. |
9) | Reward yourself periodically for a job well done! |
