HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM

Each Smart program will automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through an effec- tive workout. Programs 3, 4, and 5 are weight loss pro- grams; programs 6, 7, 8, and 9 are aerobic programs; and programs 10, 11, and 12 are high-performance programs.

Follow the steps below to use a Smart program.

1 Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 13.

2 Select one of the Smart programs.

Each time the console is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a Smart program, press the Program button repeatedly until the num- ber 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 appears in the small display.

3 Begin pedaling to start the program.

Each Smart program consists of either 20 or 30 one-minute periods. One resistance level and one target pace are programmed for each period. Note: The same resistance level and/or target pace may be programmed for two or more con- secutive periods.

When you begin pedaling, the resistance of the pedals will automatically change to the resistance level programmed for the first period. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can change it by pressing the Resistance buttons.

The target pace for the first period will appear in the small display for a few seconds, and the arrows in the small display will help you to pedal at the target pace—simply increase or decrease

your pace until

one segment of

the indicator bar appears at the tip of each arrow (see the drawing

at the right). Note: When the word

TARGET does not appear in the small display, your actual pedaling pace will be shown.

Important: The target pace is intended only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slow- er than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort- able for you.

During the last three seconds of each period, a series of tones will sound and the time will flash in the large display. The resistance of the pedals will then change if a different resistance level is pro- grammed for the next period. In addition, the number of arrows in the small display will change if a different target pace is programmed for the next period.

During the program, the center of the large dis- play will show the time remaining in the program. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the dis- plays will pause and the time will flash. To restart the program, resume pedaling.

4 Follow your progress with the large display.

See step 4 on page 13.

5 Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 14.

6 Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 14.

When you are finished exercising, the console

7 will automatically turn off.

See step 7 on page 14.
