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
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.
3 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 small display will help you to pedal at the target
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.
