Warm-Up Period

The cycle provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this time, you may change the resistance.

Note: If your heart rate moves into the target heart rate zone [(220 minus age) x 70%] during the 3-minute warm-up period, the warm-up period ends and the Heart Rate Control Program begins.

Using the Heart Rate Control Program

When you access the Heart Rate Control Program, the following occurs:

•The cycle automatically adjusts the resistance to keep your heart rate at the selected target. Pressing the RESISTANCE arrow keys no longer affects the resistance, but does change the target heart rate. Check the SmartRate display to see if you are maintaining your preferred zone (weight loss or cardiovascular). Check the Heart Rate display to determine your actual heart rate.

Important: Automatic adjustments to the resistance cannot take place if you drop below 20 revolutions per minute (RPM).

•You can change the target heart rate, but doing so affects the unit’s ability to maintain your target heart rate in the preferred zone. It takes time for the cycle to readjust the resistance so that your heart rate remains on target.

•When you complete the program, remember to add a cool-down period.

Note: If you are having difficulty with the heart rate features, talk to your club representative.

QUICKSTART

With the Weight Loss Program, the workout time is fixed at 28 minutes and consists of seven 4-minute intervals. You are not prompted for a workout time. Use the arrow keys to change the resistance for the rest or work interval. When you make changes, the program repeats the settings for the remaining intervals.

The display lets you know when the resistance levels are about to change.
