OW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS

Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart rate near a certain

rate

during your workout. Note: Your maximum heart

ate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220.

r For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart rate is 190 (220 – 30 = 190).

Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate program 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maximum heart rate.

During the program, the two horizontal bars in the matrix will help you to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate. Note: If the horizontal bars do not appear in the matrix, press the left Mode button repeatedly until the Pace indicator is lit; make sure that the Scan indicator is not lit.

Each time you hold

Note: When

, the resistance of the pedals

The upper bar in the matrix represents a target pace, and the lower bar represents your actual

ace. When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor

p or wear the optional chest pulse sensor, the con-

ole will compare your heart rate to the target

s heart rate for the current segment. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the upper bar will then change in length to prompt you to increase or decrease your pace. When the upper bar changes in length, adjust your pace so that both bars are the same length.

Important: The target pace is intended only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The program will continue until no time remains in the program.

Note: 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 12. Note: During heart rate programs, the upper display will show only your current pace. If you select a different mode by pressing the left Mode button, the matrix will show only a graphic that represents your pulse. For heart rate programs to function properly, it is recommended that you leave the pace mode selected so that the two horizontal bars appear in the matrix.

Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 13.

When the program is finished, the console

will automatically turn off.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

Fat Burning

WARNING:

• Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals withpre-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.

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 sys tem, 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.

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 heart rate for aerobic exercise.
