SELECTING A DIFFICULTY LEVEL

After a duration is entered, the bottom DATA WINDOW flashes a default difficulty level of “1”, which is the easiest of the nine difficulty levels. Press ENTER to accept the default. Or, to change the level, use the ARROW keys. Then, when the desired level appears in the DATA WINDOW, press ENTER to accept the duration.

Each of the nine difficulty levels corresponds to a range of resistance levels as seen in the table below. Resistance

levels are applied to each individual interval within a workout profile. See Section 3.3, titled Workout Descriptions for more information. While the workout is in progress, it is possible to change the resistance level of the current interval. That change remains in effect for the duration of the interval. See the topic titled Adjusting the Intensity Level in this section.

STARTING A WORKOUT

After accepting a difficulty level, press START to begin the workout.

ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE LEVEL OF AN INTERVAL

The exercise bike features 16 resistance levels, with “1” being the easiest and “16” being the most

difficult. While a workout is in progress, it is possible to change the resistance level of the current interval. To do so, sim- ply press the UP or DOWN ARROW key repeatedly until the DATA DISPLAY window shows the desired level. That change remains in effect for the duration of the interval only.

Note: With the exercise bike’s braking resistance feature, the resistance level increases proportionally with the pedaling speed.

PAUSING A WORKOUT

To pause a workout-in-progress, press the STOP key, or simply stop pedaling for 25 seconds. A workout can remain in pause mode for a maximum duration of five minutes. If a paused workout is not resumed before the five-minute pause duration ends, the console shuts down, and the paused workout information is lost. To resume a paused workout, press the START key or simply begin pedaling again.

RESETTING A WORKOUT

To reset a workout, press the STOP key, and hold it for three seconds. This deletes the current workout and makes it possible

to set up a new workout.

REVIEWING A COMPLETED WORKOUT

When a workout reaches the end of its duration, the console emits four consecutive beeps. At this point, it is possible to review summary data for the completed workout, includng total calories burned and distance traveled, by pressing the SCROLL key and reading the results in the DATA WINDOWS. Afterward, press the STOP key to return to the workout-select mode.
