HOW TO USE PERSONAL TRAINER PROGRAMS
Begin pedaling to activate the console. See step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the six personal trainer programs.
When the power is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a personal trainer program, press the Program
Select button repeatedly until a “P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,” “P 4,” “P 5,” or “P 6” appears in the lower display. When a personal trainer program is selected, the matrix will show the first eight resistance settings of the program.
Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several time seg- ments of different lengths. One resistance setting is programmed for each segment. (The same resistance setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.)
The resistance setting for the first segment will be shown in the flash- ing Current
Segment column of the matrix. The
resistance settings for the next several
segments will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all resistance set- tings will move one column to the left. The resis- tance setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the resistance of the pedals will automatically change to the resistance setting for the second segment.
Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit after the resistance settings have moved to the left, the resistance settings will move downward so that only the highest indicators appear in the matrix.
The program will continue until the resistance set- ting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column of the matrix and no time remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can override the resistance setting for the current segment by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance will auto- matically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next segment. If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the pro- gram, simply resume pedaling.
Use the console’s pace function if desired.
During personal trainer programs, the console can prompt you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through your workout.
To use the pace function, press the left Mode button repeatedly until the
Pace indicator is lit; make sure that the
Scan indicator is not lit. Two horizon-
tal bars will appear in the matrix. The upper bar repre- sents a target pace, and the
lower bar represents your actual pace. During the program, the length of the upper bar will periodi- cally change. When the upper bar changes in length, adjust your pace so that both bars are the same length. Important: The pace settings of the program are intended only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the pace settings, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
