pedal straps, first
pull the ends of
the pedal straps
off the tabs on the
pedals. Adjust the
pedal straps to the
desired position,
and then press the
ends of the pedal
straps back onto
the tabs.
HOW TO ADJUST THE BACKREST
The backrest can be adjusted to any of three positions: the inclined (upright) position, the semi-inclined
position, and the flat position.
To adjust the backrest, first adjust
the seat to the
most forward position (see HOW TO
ADJUST THE SEAT
at the left). Next,
pull the backrest
knob, move the
backrest bracket to
the desired position,
and then release the

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable.
When you select the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch
of a button. As you exercise, the console will display
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
The console offers four trainer programs that automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt
you to increase or decrease your pace while guiding
you through an effective workout.
The console also features six interactive cross training
programs designed to help you to burn calories and
enhance your cardiovascular system while toning and
strengthening your muscles. The cross training programs automatically control the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to perform a variety of strength
exercises during your workout. Choose an upper body,
lower body, or whole body cross training program for
an effective workout. Note: The strength exercises
require the use of the included dumbbells and an
inflatable exercise ball (not included). To purchase an
exercise ball, call toll-free 1-888-533-1333.

the location of each screw. Then, carefully remove
the left side shield.
With the left side shield removed, locate the Reed
Switch (24). Turn the Crank (18) until the Magnet (19)
is aligned with the Reed Switch. Next, loosen, but do
not remove, the indicated Reed Switch Screw (49).
Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from
the Magnet, and then retighten the Screw. Turn the
Crank for a moment. Repeat until the console displays correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the left side shield and the
left pedal.

CYCLING EXERCISE GUIDELINES
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.
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, and the highest
number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic
exercise.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible
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 as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle of
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. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, 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.
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.
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.
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.

STRENGTH EXERCISE GUIDELINES
STRENGTH EXERCISE GUIDELINES
The exercise cycle and the included dumbbells can be
used for a variety of strength exercises designed to
trim, tone, and strengthen the body. Please read these
guidelines before performing strength exercises.
It is recommended that your strength exercise program
include three strength workouts each week. Use the
exercise cycle’s interactive cross training programs to
combine strength exercises with cycling exercise. An
alternative is to perform strength exercises and cycling
exercise on alternating days. For example, perform
strength exercises on Tuesday, Thursday, and
Saturday, and plan cycling exercise on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday. Make sure to rest for at least
one full day each week to give your body time to
regenerate. CAUTION: It is very important to avoid
overdoing it during the first few months of your
exercise program, and to progress at your own
pace.
Begin each workout with five to ten minutes of stretching and light exercise to warm up. A proper warm-up
increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
After warming up, perform a selection of strength exercises. The cross training programs will guide you
through a variety of strength exercises. Consult a reputable book to find additional strength exercises. When
you use a cross training program, you will be prompted to perform a specific number of repetitions. When
you are not using a cross training program, begin with
12 repetitions for each exercise that you perform. (A
“repetition” is one complete cycle of an exercise, such
as one shoulder press.) As your fitness level increases, perform two or three sets of repetitions for each
exercise. Always rest for at least one minute after each
set. When you can complete three sets of 12 repetitions without difficulty, you may choose to use heavier
weights.
Finish each workout with five to ten minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase your flexibility and
will help to prevent soreness.
EXERCISE FORM
For the best results, correct form is important.
Maintaining proper form means moving through the full
range of motion for each strength exercise, and moving only the appropriate parts of the body. Make sure
to perform each strength exercise with a smooth,
steady motion. Exhale as you exert yourself, and
inhale as you return to the starting position; never hold
your breath.
STAYING MOTIVATED
For motivation, try listening to music or watching television while you exercise. Use a calendar to keep a
record of your workouts, and record key body measurements at the end of every month. Remember, the
key to lasting results is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your daily life.
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.

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, backs 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 as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip
muscles.
