HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM

1 Turn on the console.

Refer to step 1 on page 12.

2 Select one of the eight Smart programs.

Each time the

console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a Smart program, press

the Program but-

ton repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 appears in the upper right corner of the dis- play.

The profiles on the right side of the console show how the resistance of the crosstrainer and the tar- get pace will change during the Smart programs.

For example, profile number 6 shows that during Smart program 6, the resistance will gradually increase during the first half of the program, and then gradually decrease during the last half; the target pace will alternately increase and decrease throughout the program.

3 Start the program.

To start the program, simply begin exercising. Each Smart program consists of either twenty or thirty, one-minute periods. One resistance setting and one pace setting are programmed for each period. (The same resistance setting and/or pace setting may be programmed for consecutive peri- ods.)

During the program, the resistance of the crosstrainer will automatically change as shown by the applicable profile on the console. If the cur- rent resistance level is too high or too low, you

can change the resistance level by pressing the + and – buttons. However, when the current period of the program is completed, the resistance level will automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next period.

The target pace

settings for the program will be shown by the right pace indica- tor in the display. (The left indicator

will show your

actual exercise pace.) As the right indicator changes in height during the program, simply adjust your pace so that both indicators are at the same height. If your pace is slower than the cur- rent target pace, the increase arrow will appear in the display to prompt you to increase your pace; if your pace is faster than the target pace, the decrease arrow will appear. Important: The tar- get pace settings for the program are intended only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace settings, espe- cially during the first few months of your exer- cise program. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

During the program, the display will show the time remaining in the program. If you continue exercis- ing after the program is completed, the display will continue to show your exercise feedback.

4 Follow your progress with the feedback modes.

Refer to step 4 on page 12.

5 Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 12.

When you are finished exercising, the console

6 will automatically turn off after five minutes.

Refer to step 6 on page 12.
