Note: Some small parts may have been pre-attached for shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-assembled.

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 this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals withpreexisting health problems.

WHY EXERCISE?

Exercise has proven essential for good health and general well-being. Regular participation in a wellrounded exercise program results in a stronger and more efficient heart, improved respiratory function, increased stamina and endurance, better weight management and body fat control, increased ability to deal with stress, and greater self-esteem and confidence.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise. This is known as your training zone. You can find your training zone in the table below. Training zones are listed according to age and physical condition.

During the first few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your training zone as you exercise. After a few months of regular exercise, your heart rate can be increased gradually until it is near the middle of your training zone as you exercise.

To measure your heart rate, use the pulse sensor in the handlebar. You can also measure your pulse by placing two fingers on your wrist. Stop exercising and take a six-second heartbeat count. Multiply the result by ten to find your heart rate. (A sixsecond count is used because your heart rate drops quickly when you stop exercising.) If your heart rate is too high, decrease the intensity of your exercise. If your heart rate is too low, increase the intensity of your exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

A well-rounded workout includes the following three phases:

A warm-up phase, lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Begin with slow, controlled stretches, and progress to more rhythmic stretches. This will increase the body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for strenuous exercise.

A cardiovascular phase, including 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone.

A cool-down phase, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Thorough stretching offsets muscle contractions and other problems caused when you stop exercising suddenly. Stretching for increased flexibility is often most effective during this phase. This phase should leave you relaxed and comfortably tired.

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 exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Find the best time of day for your workouts, and then stick with it.

Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

HOW TO USE THE PULSE SENSOR

The convenient pulse sensor allows you to measure your heart rate periodically. You can measure your heart rate before you begin exercising, during your workout, and again when you finish.

Note: Before you can use the pulse sensor, you must peel the protective vinyl covering off the metal contacts on the front and rear of each pulse grip.

To use the pulse sensor, first make sure that the power is turned on. Stop exercising, rest both feet on the floor, and place your hands on the metal contacts. Your palms must be resting on the inner contacts and your fingers must be touching the outer contacts. Avoid moving your hands. After a moment, the heart indicator in the PULSE display will flash and your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.

WARNING:The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the userÕs movement, 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.

HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

¥ Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen-

sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings. If the pulse sensor is not used correctly, the heart indicator will flash repeatedly in the PULSE display but your heart rate will not be shown.

¥ If an ÒLÓ appears in the PULSE display, then the

pulse sensor received too little pulse information to accurately calculate your pulse. Let go of the metal contacts; then place your hands on the contacts again. Your palms must be resting on the inner contacts and your fingers must be touching the outer contacts.

¥ If an ÒHÓ appears in the PULSE display, then the

pulse sensor received too much pulse information to accurately calculate your pulse. Let go of the metal contacts; then place your hands on the contacts again. Your palms must be resting on the inner contacts and your fingers must be touching the outer contacts.

¥ Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so

may interfere with heart rate readings.

¥ Do not move your hands while you hold the metal

contacts; your muscle movement may interfere with heart rate readings.

¥ For the most accurate heart rate reading, wait for

about 15 seconds.

¥ For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep

the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft clothÑnever use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALING RESISTANCE

The pedaling resistance can be adjusted with the Resistance Knob (9) located on the Console (8). To increase the resistance, turn the Resistance Knob clockwise; to decrease the resistance, turn the Resistance Knob counterclockwise.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The innovative console offers a manual mode and three pacer programs. The pacer programs are designed to help you achieve your exercise goals by pacing your exercise. The programs include an 18 MPH/90 RPM program, a 12 MPH/60 RPM program, and a 6 MPH/30 RPM program. The console also features five monitor modes that provide continuous exercise feedback. Note: On some consoles the pro-

grams are listed in MPH and on others in RPM. Both sets of programs are identical.

HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE

When you use a pacer program, an indicator will light on each track of the P.A.C.E.R. display. The outer track shows a target pace; the inner track will show your actual pace. The target pace will change periodically during the 18 MPH/90 RPM and 12 MPH/60 RPM programs; as the target pace changes, simply adjust your pace to keep both indica-

tors even. Important: The target pace is a goal

pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The graphs on the left side of the console show how the target pace will change during each program (see the drawing above). Each graph is divided into ten columns, and each column represents 1/10 of a mile. The bars in each column show what the target pace will be during that 1/10 of a mile. For example, in the first column of the 12 MPH/60 RPM graph, there is one bar. This shows that during the first 1/10 of a mile in this program, the target pace will be 6 MPH (30 RPM). In the second column, there are two bars, indicating that the pace is now 12 MPH (60 RPM).

DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES

The five monitor modes provide continuous exercise feedback. The modes are described below.

¥ SpeedÑThis mode shows your pace, in miles per

hour.

¥ TimeÑThis mode counts the length of time you

have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause.
