HOW TO USE A WEIGHT LOSS WORKOUT

1.Begin pedaling to turn on the console. See step 1 on page 16.

2.Select a weight loss workout.

To select one of the four weight loss workouts, press the Enter/Exit button repeatedly until the name of a WEIGHT LOSS workout appears in the upper display.

As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for the current segment. When the words PEDAL FASTER appear in the upper display, increase your pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER appear, decrease your pace. When the words PEDALING IN RANGE appear, maintain your cur- rent pace.

Profile

When you select a weight loss workout, the name of the workout and the workout time will appear in the displays and a profile of the resistance levels of the workout will scroll across the center display.

3.Press Start or begin pedaling to start the workout.

Each weight loss workout is divided into 25, 30, or 45 one-minute segments. One resistance level and one target rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance level and/or target rpm setting may be programmed for consecutive segments.

During the workout, the workout profile will show your progress (see the drawing above). The flash- ing segment of the profile represents the current segment of the workout. The height of the flashing segment indicates the resistance level for the cur- rent segment. At the end of each segment of the workout, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ- ent resistance level is programmed for the next segment, the resistance level will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis- tance of the pedals will then change.

IMPORTANT: The target rpm settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actu- al pace may be slower than the target rpm set- tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com- fortable for you.

If the resistance level for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons. However, when the current segment ends, the ped- als will automatically adjust to the resistance level for the next segment.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The workout will continue until the last segment of the profile flashes and the last segment of the workout ends.

When the last segment of the workout ends, the words PROGRAM DONE will appear in the upper display.

4.Follow your progress with the displays. See step 4 on page 16.

5.Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 17.

6. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.

See step 6 on page 17.
