2 Custom User-defined Programs

These programs enable you to set up, store into memory and then workout in 2 different course profiles that you customize.

Time Trial

This program enables you to workout against a “pacer” to determine how long it takes you to cover a preset distance. You preset the speed of the “pacer” as the baseline of your workout and race to the end of the preset distance. At the end of the Time Trial the computer displays the watts, distance, speed, etc. that you have achieved.

Fitness Test

The Fitness Test is one of the best ways to measure improvements in your physical fitness level. The test measures your fitness by comparing your power output (in Watts) to your Heart Rate. In general, as you become “more fit,” you will produce more power (Watts) at a given Heart Rate.

As the test starts, the power (Watts) slowly increases. This means that you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The Watts continue to increase automatically until your heart rate reaches the “Test Zone.” This zone is individually computed to be near 75% of your maxi- mum Heart Rate. When you reach the “Test Zone” the bike holds the Watts steady for three minutes. This is to allow you to reach a steady state (where your Heart Rate has become basically steady).

At the end of the three minutes, the computer measures your Heart Rate, and the power (Watts.) These numbers, (along with information about your age and weight,) are put into a formula and produce a “Fitness Score.”

Note: The Fitness Test is an excellent way to measure changes in your own fitness level. It is not designed to be used to compare one person’s score to another person’s score. This is because the test protocol only “estimates” your “Maximum Heart Rate.”

Calorie Goal:

The Calorie Goal feature lets you select an amount of Calories you would like to burn during your workout.

When selecting “CALORIE GOAL”, use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the amount of Calories you wish to “burn” from 10 to 990. Each increment will change the Calories by 10. Confirm your selected value by pressing the ENTER button.

The console will prompt you to choose a profile program. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to select a profile program and press the ENTER button to confirm your selection. During the program the Calorie display will count down from the number of Calories you entered to 0.
