FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a selection of features

designed to make your exercise sessions more effec-

tive.

When you use the manual mode, you can change the

resistance of the pedals 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 handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest

pulse sensor.

The console also features personal goal programming

that allows you to choose a goal for your workout. As

you exercise, the console will display feedback until

you reach your goal.

In addition, the console offers nine preset workouts.

Each workout automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through an effective exer-

cise session.

The console also features three heart rate workouts that automatically change the resistance of the pedals

to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate as you exercise.

You can even create your own custom workout work- outs and save them in memory for future use.

To use the manual mode, see page 14. To create a custom workout, see page 16. To use a custom workout, see page 17. To use a preset workout, see page 18. To use a heart rate workout, see page 19. To select a backlight option, see page 20.

TROUBLESHOOTING

. SYMPTOM: THE PULSE SENSOR DOES NOT

FUNCTION PROPERLY

If the handgrip pulse sensor does not function properly, see step 6 on page 15.

= SYMPTOM: THE DISCS RUB AGAINST THE

SHIELDS

If a disc rubs against a shield, loosen the shield mounting screws and move the shield slightly until the disc stops rubbing. Then, retighten the shield mounting screws.

3. SYMPTOM: THE PEDAL WHEELS SQUEAK

If the pedal wheels squeak, use a 100 percent cot- ton cloth to remove debris from the track and the

wheels. If the pedal wheels continue to squeak, apply a light coat of silicone-based lubricant to the

track.

SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE TURNS OFF AS SOON AS YOU STOP PEDALING

If the console turns off as soon as you stop pedal- ing, the battery pack may not be charged. The longer you pedal, the longer the battery pack will retain a charge. It may be necessary to pedal for a few minutes to charge the battery pack each time you exercise. If the console turns off as soon as you stop pedaling, even after you have pedaled for several minutes, call the telephone number on the front cover of this manual immediately.

5. SYMPTOM: THE PEDALS SLiP DURING USE

If the pedals slip during use, the drive belt is slip- ping. Follow the instructions below to adjust the

tension of the drive belt.

First, remove the two M6 x 16mm

Button Screws (49)

attaching the left Disc (5). Without

removing the Disc, pivot it out of the way.

Next, locate the M10 Flange Nut

(95). Turn the Flange Nut clock-

wise until the pedals no longer

slip during the power stroke.

Then, reattach the Disc (5).

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.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

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 exer- cise, 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.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

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.

i65 155 145 140 I30 125 Ii5 _)_ 145 138 130 125 118 110 103 _) 125 120 115 110 105 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.

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 stretch- ing, Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERClSE 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.
