T OTAL B ODY W ORKOUT
During this workout, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to emphasize different muscle groups. To emphasize
upper-body muscles, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to focus on pushing and pulling the moving arms
at various times. To emphasize lower-body muscles, MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to rest the hands on the
stationary handlebar, thus forcing the legs to do all the work. The program also alternates between forward and reverse
motion as well as different speeds.
Ten seconds after prompting the user to change pedaling direction, the workout applies “braking resistance,” that is, a high
resistance level that essentially forces the user to stop pedaling. Once the user stops pedaling, the workout resumes the normal
resistance level. The actual level of breaking resistance depends on the user’s pedaling RPM. If the user is pedaling at a rate
equal to, or faster than, 65 RPM, the workout applies the maximum level of braking resistance. If the user is pedaling at a
speed below 65 RPM, the workout applies 92 percent of the maximum.
TOTAL BODY WORKOUT is a constant-resistance workout. However, for a similar experience with a variable-resistance-
level workout, the user can start any workout, except for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE
INTERVAL, EXTREME HEART RATE, or EZ RESISTANCE; and then press the TOTAL BODY MODE key.
L OWER B ODY W ORKOUT
During this workout, the MESSAGE CENTER displays alternating prompts to use pedal forward for five minutes and then
backward motion for two minutes. This feature varies the empahsis on different leg muscles. Ten seconds after prompting
the user to change pedaling direction, the workout applies “braking resistance,” that is, a high resistance level that essentially
forces the user to stop pedaling. Once the user stops pedaling, the workout resumes the normal resistance level. The actual
level of breaking resistance depends on the user’s pedaling RPM. If the user is pedaling at a rate equal to, or faster than,
65 RPM, the workout applies the maximum level of braking resistance. If the user is pedaling at a speed below 65 RPM, the
workout applies 92 percent of the maximum.
LOWER BODY WORKOUT is a constant-resistance workout. However, for a similar experience with a variable-resistance-
level workout, the user can start any workout, except for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE
INTERVAL, EXTREME HEART RATE, or EZ RESISTANCE; and then press the LOWER BODY MODE key.
