FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE  
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE  
Turn on the console.  
The advanced console offers a selection of features  
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and  
effective. When the manual mode of the console is  
selected, the resistance of the pedals can be changed  
with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console  
will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can  
even measure your heart rate using the built-in hand-  
grip pulse sensor.

In addition, the console features two pulse programs  
that change the resistance of the pedals and help you  
to maintain a steady pedaling pace to keep your heart  
rate near a target heart rate setting while you exercise.  
When the power is turned on, the manual mode  
will be selected. If you have selected a program,  
reselect the manual mode by pressing the  
Program/Manual button repeatedly until no pro-  
gram indicators (see the drawing above) appear  
along the left side of the display.  
The console also offers two preset programs. Each  
program automatically changes the resistance of the  
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your  
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective  
workout.  
Change the resistance of the pedals as desired.  
As you pedal,  
change the resis-  
tance of the pedals  
by pressing the

The upper half of  
the display will  
show the elapsed  
time, the distance  
you have pedaled,  
and the resistance  
level of the pedals.  
The display will change from one mode to the  
next every few seconds.  
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue  
to hold the handgrip pulse sensor for about 30  
seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the hand-  
grip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart  
rate for about 30 seconds. The display will then  
show your heart rate along with the other modes.  
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that  
your hands are positioned as described. Avoid  
moving your hands excessively or squeezing the  
metal contacts too tightly. For optimal perfor-  
mance, periodically clean the metal contacts  
using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives,  
or chemicals.  
The lower half of  
the display will  
show your pedal-  
ing speed and the  
approximate num-  
ber of calories you  
have burned. The  
display will change from one mode to the other  
every few seconds. The lower half of the display  
will also show your heart rate when you use the  
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5). Note: When a

HOW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM  
5
Pulse program 1 is 30 minutes long, and is  
divided into several time periods of different  
lengths. One target heart rate is programmed for  
each period. Pulse program 2 is sixty minutes  
long (you may choose to use only part of the pro-  
gram). The same target heart rate is programmed  
for the entire program.  
Pulse program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate  
within a set range during your workout. Pulse program  
2 is designed to keep your heart rate near a target  
heart rate setting that you select.  
Follow the steps below to use a pulse program.  
During the program, the console will regularly  
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate  
setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above  
the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the  
pedals will automatically increase or decrease to  
being your heart rate closer to the target heart rate  
setting. Note: If the resistance level is too high or  
too low, you can override it by pressing the  
Increase and Decrease buttons. However, when  
the console compares your heart rate to the tar-  
get heart rate setting, the resistance may auto-  
matically change.  
Turn on the console.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition  
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-  
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does  
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.  
If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your  
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-  
ber in your training zone as you exercise. For maxi-  
mum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise  
until your heart rate is near the middle number in your  
training zone as you exercise.  
WARNING:  
Before beginning  
this or any exercise program, consult your  
physician. This is especially important for  
persons over the age of 35 or persons with  
pre-existing health problems.  
Aerobic Exercise  
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.  
Various factors may affect the accuracy of  
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is  
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-  
ing heart rate trends in general.  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-  
cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen  
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the  
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,  
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic  
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until  
your heart rate is near the highest number in your  
training zone.  
EXERCISE INTENSITY  
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your  
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat  
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include the following three parts:  
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching  
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your  
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-  
ration for exercise.  
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-  
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training  
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-  
gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training  
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)  
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This  
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will  
help to prevent post-exercise problems.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above  
your age. The three numbers are your “training zone.”  
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for  
fat burning; the middle number is the recommended  
heart rate for maximum fat burning; the highest num-  
ber is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exer-  
cise.  
EXERCISE FREQUENCY  
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-  
outs each week, with at least one day of rest between  
workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you  
may complete up to five workouts each week, if  
desired. Remember, the key to success is make exer-  
cise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.  
Fat Burning  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-  
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and  
groin.  
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch  
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands  
against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on  
the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips  
toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for  
each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend
