How These Modes Work
Chapter Three: Pre-Set Workouts
Five different pre-set workouts are discussed below (HRC
Cruise Control is covered in Chapter 4):
• Manual: this mode changes workload in 10-watt
increments. The workload stays the same at any pedal
cadence (called constant power control) unless you drop
below 55 rpm. Below 55 rpm, workload is reduced along
with pedal cadence, to prevent the sensation of the pedals
“locking up.”
• Random: creates a different program profile each time
you press the key.
• Cardio Challenge: with the workload gradually rising
until you reach the middle of your workout time, then
gradually decreasing to the end.
• Fat Burn: with a warm-up stage increasing to a
steady-state workload for the majority of the workout,
then a cool-down at the end.
• Hills: four work intervals separated by four
rest intervals.
Sixteen different levels are available to change the difficulty of a
pre-set workout. The workload intensities expand and contract
depending on the level.
