HOW TO USE A CROSS TRAINING PROGRAM
Press the Resistance decrease button or
begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the dis-
play will light.
Select one of the five cross training programs.
To select a cross training program, press the
Programs button repeatedly until the name of the
desired cross training program appears in the dis-
play. When a cross training program is selected,
the program time will appear in the display and a
profile of the resistance settings for the program
will scroll across the matrix in the display.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into 25, 30, or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and one
target rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are
programmed for most segments. (Note: The same
resistance and/or target rpm setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.)
During other segments, the console will prompt you
to perform strength exercises.
The resistance setting
for the first segment
will be shown in the
flashing Current
Segment column of
the matrix. The resis-
tance settings for the next several segments will
be shown in the columns to the right. The target
rpm setting will appear in the top of the display.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash and
a series of tones will sound. If the resistance
and/or target rpm is about to change, the resis-
tance setting and/or the target rpm setting will
appear in the display to alert you.
When the first segment is completed, all resis-
tance settings will move one column to the left.
The resistance setting for the second segment
will then be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column and the resistance of the pedals
will automatically adjust to the setting for the sec-
ond segment. Note: If all the indicators in the
Current Segment column are lit, the resistance
settings may move downward so that only the
highest indicators appear in the matrix.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for
the current segment. When the words PEDAL
FASTER appear in the display, increase your
pace. When the words PEDAL SLOWER appear
in the display, decrease your pace. When the
words PEDALING IN RANGE appear, maintain
your current pace.
Important: The target rpm settings are intend-
ed only to provide motivation. Your actual
pace may be slower than the target rpm set-
tings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
If the resistance setting for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Resistance decrease or
increase buttons. Every few times you press a
Resistance button, an additional indicator will
appear or disappear in the Current Segment col-
umn; if any of the columns to the right of the
Current Segment column have the same number
of lit indicators as the Current Segment column,
an additional indicator may appear or disappear
in those columns as well. Important: When the
current segment of the program ends, the ellip-
tical exerciser will automatically adjust to the
resistance setting for the next segment.
To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling.
The time will begin to flash in the display. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
