HOW TO USE PERSONAL TRAINER
PROGRAMS
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 13.
Select one of the 15 personal trainer
programs.
When the power is turned on, the manual mode
will be selected. To select a personal trainer pro-
gram, repeatedly press the Program Select but-
ton until the name of the desired program appears
in the main display.
The matrix will show
the first eight resis-
tance settings of the
program you have
selected.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. (The main display will
show both the time remaining in the program and
the time remaining in the current segment of the
program.) One resistance setting and one pace
setting are programmed for each segment. (The
same resistance setting and/or pace setting may
be programmed for two or more consecutive seg-
ments.)
The resistance set-
ting for the first seg-
ment will be shown
in the flashing
Current Segment
column of the
matrix. (The pace
settings are not shown in the matrix.) The resis-
tance settings for the next several segments will
be shown in the columns to the right.
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, a
series of tones will sound, and all resistance set-
tings will move one column to the left. The resis-
tance setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column,
and the resistance of the pedals will automatically
change if a different resistance setting is pro-
grammed for the second segment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace
setting for the current segment. The lit indicators
in the bar will show
your actual pace. If
an indicator to the
right of the lit indica-
tors is flashing (see
drawing a), increase
your pace. If an indi-
cator to the left of
any lit indicator is
flashing (see drawing
b), decrease your
pace. When no indi-
cator is flashing, your
pace matches the
pace setting for the current segment. Important:
The pace settings are intended only to pro-
vide motivation. Your actual pace may be
slower than the current pace setting. Make
sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable
for you.
The program will continue in this way until the
main display shows that no time remains in the
program.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment, if
desired, by pressing the Resistance buttons.
However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will automatically change if a different
resistance setting is programmed for the next
segment. If you stop pedaling for several sec-
onds, a tone will sound and the program will
pause. To restart the program, simply resume
pedaling.
