FINISHING YOUR WORKOUT

When your workout is complete, the console will display “workout complete” and beep. Your workout information will stay displayed on the console for 30 seconds and then reset.

TO RESET THE CONSOLE

Press and hold for 3 seconds.

TO CLEAR CURRENT SELECTION

To clear the current program selection or screen, press and hold for 3 seconds. GETTING STARTED

1) Check to make sure no objects are nearby that will hinder the

movement of the exercise bike.

2) Plug in the power cord.

6) You have the following options to start your workout:

Simply press to begin working out. Time, distance and calories will all count up from zero. The resistance level will default to level 1.

2) Set workout program information using (see program

information for necessary settings) and press ENTER after each selection.

3) Press to begin workout.

The first step in knowing the right intensity for your training is to find out your maximum heart rate (max HR = 220 – your age). The age-based method provides an average statistical prediction of your max HR and is a good method for the majority of people, especially those new to heart rate training. The most precise and accurate way of determining your individual max HR is to have it clinically tested by a cardiologist or exercise physiologist through the use of a maximal stress test. If you are over the age of 40, overweight, have been sedentary for several years, or have a history of heart disease in your family, clinical testing is recommended. This chart gives examples of the heart rate range for a 30 year old exercising at 5 different heart rate zones. For example, a 30-year-old’s max HR is 220 – 30 = 190 BPM and 90% max HR is 190 × 0.9 = 171 BPM. Target Heart Rate Zone Workout Duration Example THR Zone (age 30) Your THR Zone Recommended For VERY HARD

– 100% < 5 min 171 – 190 BPm Fit persons and for athletic training HARD

– 80% 10 – 40 min 133 – 152 BPm Moderately long workouts LIGHT

– 70% 40 – 80 min 114 – 133 BPm Longer and frequently repeated shorter exercises VERY LIGHT

– 60% 20 – 40 min 104 – 114 BPm Weight management and active recovery34 PROGRAM INFORMATION THR ZONE: Simulate the intensity of your favorite sport as the program resistance automatically adjusts to maintain a set Target Heart Rate range.

1) Select THR Zone program using

heart rate (from heart rate training chart) using and ENTER.

4) Begin pedalling to start workout.

• The dot matrix window displays your heart rate during exercise. The middle row represents your target heart rate (THR) and the other rows equal +/-2 heart beats. If you are working out beneath your THR, the LEDs below the middle row will illuminate. If you are over, the LEDs above the middle row will illuminate. Your current heart rate is represented by the flashing column and the window will refresh every 5 seconds.

• There is a 4-minute warm-up built into this program at level 1 resistance.

• After 4 minutes, the resistance will automatically adjust to bring your heart rate within 5 beats of the target number you selected at the beginning of the program.

• If there is no heart rate detected, the unit will not change resistance levels up or down.

• If your heart rate is 25 beats over your target zone the program will shut down. CUSTOM: Allows user to create own resistance-based workout for 15 different segments of workout. User sets time and resistance using and ENTER.35

USING YOUR MEDIA PLAYER

1) Connect the included AUDIO ADAPTOR CABLE to the AUDIO IN JACK on the left of the console and the

headphone jack on your media player.

2) Use your media player buttons to adjust song settings.

3) Remove the AUDIO ADAPTOR CABLE when not in use.

ENERGY SAVER (STANDBY MODE) This machine has a special feature called Energy Saver™ mode. This mode is NOT automatically activated. When Energy Saver mode is activated, the display will automatically enter standby mode (Energy Saver mode) after 15 minutes of inactivity. This feature saves energy by disabling most power to the machine until a key is pressed on the console. This feature can be turned on or off in the engineering menu. To enter the engineering menu, press and hold and for 3-5 seconds. Use to navigate through the menu to ENG 3. Press ENTER to select. Use to select ENRGY SVE ON or OFF. Press and hold STOP for 3-5 seconds to exit ENG 3. Press and hold STOP again for 3-5 seconds to exit the engineering menu.3637
