Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate control programs to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be too high or low for you. Entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.
A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn calories at about the same rate as during exercise for up to an hour after you have finished exercising!
Entering/Changing Settings
When you enter a program (by pressing a program key, then enter key) you have the option of entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the message window. If you start a program without changing the settings the default
The default computer settings are: Age = 35, Weight = 155 Lbs., Time = 30:00, Max Level: each
program has a different maximum work level: Hill = 14, Fatburn = 10, Cardio = 14, Strength = 16, Interval = 14.
NOTE: Changing Age and Weight settings will also change these settings in all other programs except the User 1&2 programs. The last Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the first time you use the Bike you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your Age or Weight changes or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.
Manual
