Each heart rate workout is divided into 20 or 30
one-minute segments. One target heart rate is

programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate may be programmed for consecu-
tive segments.

During a heart rate workout, the console will regu-
larly compare your heart rate to the target heart
rate for the current segment of the workout. If your
heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will auto-
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate. Each time the
resistance changes, the resistance level will
appear in the display for a few seconds to alert

you.

If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Silent Magnetic Resistance
buttons. Note: If you manually override the resis-
tance settings, you may not maintain your target

heart rate.

IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level for the next seg-

ment.

The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
stop counting. To restart the workout, simply
resume pedaling.

5. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flash-
ing segment of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the seg-
ment indicates the target heart rate for the current
segment. At the end of each segment of the work-
out, a series of tones will sound and the next
segment of the profile will begin to flash.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle reg-
ularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.

CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING

If the console display becomes dim, or if the audio
from the sound system stops intermittently, the batter-
ies should be replaced; most console problems are
the result of low batteries. See assembly step 5 on
page 8 for replacement instructions.

Note: If you use the sound system regularly, it is rec-
ommended that you purchase an optional
manufacturer-supplied AC adapter (see assembly step
5 on page 8).

If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function prop-
erly, see step 5 on page 15.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, you must first remove the left pedal and the
left front shield. Using an adjustable wrench, turn the
left pedal clockwise and remove it. Next, remove all
the screws from the left and right front shields; there

are two sizes of screws in the front shields-note
which size of screw you remove from each hole.

Then, gently pull the left front shield away from the
frame.

Locate the Reed Switch (46). Turn the Pulley (29) until
a Magnet (30) is aligned with the Reed Switch. Next,
loosen, but do not remove, the indicated M4 x 16mm
Screw (57). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or
away from the Magnet, and then retighten the Screw.
Turn the Pulley for a moment. Repeat these actions
until the console displays correct feedback. When the

Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the front
shields and the left pedal.

21

HOW TO ADJUST THE BELT

If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while
the resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the
belt may need to be adjusted. To adjust the belt, you
must first remove the right pedal and the right front
shield. Using an adjustable wrench, turn the right
pedal counterclockwise and remove it. Next, remove
all the screws from the left and right front shields;

there are two sizes of screws in the front
shields-note which size of screw you remove

from each hole. Then, gently pull the right front
shield away from the frame.

Loosen, but do not remove, the three indicated screws
(A). Insert the shaft of a screwdriver downward

between the Idler (B) and the Idler Pulley (38). Pull the
top of the screwdriver toward the rear of the exercise
cycle until the Drive Belt (47) is tight. Tighten the three
screws. Then, reattach the front shields and the right
pedal.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for

successful results.

Burning Fat--To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your

body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your

heart rate near the middle number in your training

zone.

Aerobic Exercise--If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. 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, exercising at the proper inten-
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.

The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.

165 155 145 140 130 125 115 _
I45 138 130 125 118 110 103 _W)

125 I20 115 110 105 95 90

20 30 40 50 60 70 80

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your '_training zone." The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest

number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up--Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation

for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise--Exercise for 20 to 30 min-

utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not

keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise-never hold your breath.

Cooling Down--Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your

muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest

between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to

make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.

23

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.
Move slowly as you stretch--never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,

then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees
and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended

leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. 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 your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles
tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your
buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3

times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for
15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and

hip muscles.
