WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This i s es p ecially important for individuals over the age
of 35orindividuals withpre-existinghealth
problems.
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 determining heart rate trends in general.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and
adequate rest are essential for successful results.
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.
o burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
T
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored
your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number or 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 the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. Aproper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers

fat burning; the middle number is the recommended
heart rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest

workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you
may complete up to five workouts each week, if
desired. The key to success is make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for
you.
The program will continue until the target heart
rate setting for the last segment is shown in the
Current Segment column of the matrix and no

Note: During the program, you can manually
change the resistance setting, if desired, by
pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when
the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate, the resistance may automatically
change. If you stop pedaling for several seconds,
a tone will sound and the program will pause. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.

See step 4 on page 10.
As you pedal, the console will regularly compare
your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your
heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to being your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate.
