HEART RATE HILL consists of three hills that target three heart rate goals: The first hill brings the heart rate to 90 percent of the target rate. The second hill increases the rate to 95 percent. The third hill matches the target heart rate. The valley always is defined as 85 percent of the target heart rate. The user must grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear a wireless heart rate chest strap.

HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to 100 percent of the target rate, and a val- ley, which brings the heart rate down to 90 percent of the target heart rate. The user must grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear a wireless chest strap.

EXTREME HEART RATE alternates between two target heart rate goals as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. The user must grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear a wireless heart rate chest strap.

WATTS PROGRAM is similar to a manual workout. In this workout, the user selects a WATTs level between 50 and 250 WATTs. Dependant on speed, the resistance level will adjust automatically to maintain the selected WATTs level throughout the user’s workout. By default, the WATTs program is not active. The program must be turned on in the user menu.

MY WORKOUTS is not a workout program but a feature that allows the user to pre-set up to four workouts with personal setup information, such as age, time duration, or level, and then store the workouts in the console memory. These workouts are accessed by pressing the MY WORKOUTS key. See Section 4.4, titled My Workouts Personal Programs, for information on setting up and using these workouts.

4.2USING THE WORKOUTS

Different workouts require different setup steps. See the chart titled Exercise Bike Workout Set-up Steps, which appears later in this section, for a quick glance at the steps for setting up any workout. This section provides details on the steps themselves.

TO BEGIN ANY WORKOUT

Simply start pedaling to activate the console. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt: “SELECT WORKOUT PROFILE OR PRESS QUICK START”. If it displays a different message, press the CLEAR key twice rapidly.
