DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The innovative console offers a manual mode and three pacer programs. The pacer programs are designed to help you achieve your exercise goals by pacing your exercise. The programs include an 18 MPH/90 RPM program, a 12 MPH/60 RPM program, and a 6 MPH/30 RPM program. The console also fea- tures five monitor modes that provide continuous exer- cise feedback. Note: On some consoles the pro- grams are listed in MPH and on others in RPM. Both sets of programs are identical.

HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE

When you use a pacer program, an indicator will light on each track of

the P.A.C.E.R. display. The outer track shows a tar- get pace; the inner track will show

your actual pace. The target pace

will change periodically during the 18 MPH/90 RPM and 12 MPH/60 RPM programs; as the target pace changes, simply adjust your pace to keep both indica-

tors even. Important: The target pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the tar- get pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The graphs on the left side of the console show how the target pace will change during each program (see the drawing above). Each graph is divided into ten columns, and each column represents 1/10 of a mile. The bars in each column show what the target pace will be during that 1/10 of a mile. For example, in the first column of the 12 MPH/60 RPM graph, there is one bar. This shows that during the first 1/10 of a mile in this program, the target pace will be 6 MPH (30 RPM). In the second column, there are two bars, indi- cating that the pace is now 12 MPH (60 RPM).

DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES

The five monitor modes provide continuous exercise feedback. The modes are described below.

¥SpeedÑThis mode shows your pace, in miles per hour.

¥TimeÑThis mode counts the length of time you have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause.
