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 1 and 2 are weight loss pro- grams, programs 3 and 4 are aerobic programs, and programs 5 and 6 are high-performance programs.

Follow the steps below to use a Smart program.

1 Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 12.

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 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 appears in the small dis- play.

Begin pedaling to start the program.

 

Each Smart program consists of 20 or 30 one-

 

minute periods. One resistance level and one tar-

 

get pace are programmed for each period. (The

 

same resistance level and/or target pace may be

 

programmed for two or more consecutive periods.)

 

When you begin pedaling, the resistance of the

 

pedals will automatically change to the resistance

 

level programmed for the first period. The target

 

pace for the first period will appear in the small

 

display for a few

 

 

seconds, and the

 

 

arrows in the

Indicator

 

small display will

pace—simply

 

 

 

increase

or

 

 

decrease your

 

 

pedaling pace until one segment of the indicator

 

bar appears at the tip of each arrow (see the

 

drawing

above). For example, if there are five

arrows, five segments of the indicator bar should appear. 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 slower than the target pace,

 

especially during the first few months of your

 

exercise program. Make sure to pedal at a

 

pace that is comfortable for you.

If the resis-

tance of the pedals is too high or too low, you can change the resistance level by pressing the Resistance buttons below the large display.

At the end of each period, the resistance of the pedals will automatically change if a different resistance level is programmed for the next peri- od. 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. If you continue pedaling after the program is completed, the displays will continue to show exercise feed- back.

4 Follow your progress with the large display.

See step 4 on page 12.

5 Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 13.

6

Turn on the fan if desired.

 

See step 6 on page 13.

 

When you are finished exercising, the console

7

will automatically turn off.

See step 7 on page 13.
