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.
WARNING: Before beginning any exercise
program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
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 recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
AGE
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise 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.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include three important parts: a
warm-up, training zone exercise, and a cool-down.
Warming up—Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warmup increases your body temperature, heart rate and
circulation in preparation for exercise.
AEROBIC
b.p.m.
MAX. FAT
FAT BURN
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the top of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
below 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 heart
rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat
o burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a rela-
T
tively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
gy
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.
Training zone exercise—After warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in
your training zone for 20 to 30 minutes. (During the
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep
your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20
minutes.)
Cooling down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10
minutes of stretching. This will increase your flexibility
and will help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts 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 exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Caution: Be sure to progress at your own pace
and avoid overdoing it. Incorrect or excessive
train-
ing may result in injury to your health.

The pulse
mode—To use
the pulse
mode, the
pulse monitor
must be worn.

HOW TO SELECT KILOMETRES OR MILES
The console can display distance and speed in either
kilometres or miles. If a “KPH” appears in the display,
distance and speed will be shown in kilometres; if a
“KPH” does not appear, distance and speed will be
shown in miles.
To change the unit of
measurement, first
remove the four
screws attaching the
console (see drawing 1). Lift the console a few inches
and turn it over,
being careful not to
pull on the wires.
Next, look into the
hole below the bat

the small switch (see
drawing 2). (Note: It
may be necessary to
look into the hole
and to the left side to
find the small
switch.) Slide the

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative
console offers a
manual mode
and three pacer
programs. The
pacer programs
are designed to
help you achieve
specific exercise
goals by pacing
your exercise.
You can choose
from a staminabuilding Interval
program, an
Aerobic program,
and a special Fat
Burn program. As
you exercise, seven monitor modes will provide continuous exercise feedback. The monitor modes are
described below:
Pulse—This mode shows your heart rate when
the pulse monitor is used.
Speed—This mode shows your pedaling pace, in
kilometres or miles per hour (see HOW TO
SELECT KILOMETRES OR MILES on page 10).
Time—If you select the manual mode, this mode
will show the elapsed time. If you select one of
the three pacer programs, this mode will count
down the time remaining in the program.
Distance—This mode shows the distance you have
pedaled, in kilometres or miles.
Lap—This mode shows the number of laps you
have completed. One lap equals 0.25 kilometres
or miles.
Calorie—This mode shows the approximate
number of calories

HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pacer program, two
columns of bars
will appear in the
display. The left
column represents
a target pace, and
the right column
shows your actual
pedaling pace. The target pace will change periodically during the program; as the target pace changes,
simply adjust your pedaling pace to keep both
columns at the same height.

few months of your exercise program. Be sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The three graphs
on the console
show how the target pace will
change during the
programs. Each
graph is divided
into ten columns of bars. Each column represents a
two-minute period, and each bar represents a target
pace of 5 mph (8 kph). In graph P1, for example, there
is one bar in the farthest left column. This shows that
during the first two minutes of program P1, the target
pace will be 5 mph (8 kph). In the second column
there are five bars. This shows that during the second
two-minute period, the target pace will be 25 mph (40
kph). Each program will last for twenty minutes.
