FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more effective. When the manual mode of the console is selected, the resistance of the pedals can be changed with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the built-in handgrip pulse sensor.
In addition, the console features two pulse programs that change the resistance of the pedals and help you to maintain a steady pedaling pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate setting while you exercise.
The console also offers four preset programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
To use the manual mode of the console, see the instructions at the right. To use a pulse program, see page 14. To use a preset program, see page 15.
Before using the console, make sure that batteries are installed (see assembly step 5 on page 8). If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the display, remove the plastic.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
1. Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press the Increase button or begin pedaling. The pace guide will light for a moment; the console will then be ready for use.
2. Select the manual mode.
When the power is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. If you have selected a program, reselect the manual mode by pressing the
Program button repeatedly until no program indicators (see the drawing above) appear along the left side of the display.
3. Change the resistance of the pedals as desired.
As you pedal, change the resistance of the pedals by pressing the
Increase and
Decrease buttons.
There are ten resistance levels. Note: After the buttons are pressed, it will take a moment for the pedals to reach the selected resistance level.
12
4. Monitor your progress with the display.
The upper half of the display will show the elapsed time, the distance (total revolutions) you have pedaled, and the resistance level of the pedals. The display will change from one mode to the next every few seconds. Note: When a program is selected (except for pulse program
2), the display will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time.
The lower half of the display will show your pedaling speed
(revolutions per minute [RPM]) and the approximate number of calories you have burned. The display will change from one mode to the other every few seconds. The lower half of the display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5).
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor for about 30 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate for about 30 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other modes.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Avoid moving your hands excessively or squeezing the metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, periodically clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or
chemicals.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan at low speed, press the fan button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the fan button a second time. To turn off the fan, press the fan button a third time.

If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the plastic.
Next, hold the handgrip pulse sensor
Contacts with your palms resting on the contacts. When your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the lower half of the display will flash each time your heart beats, and your heart rate will be shown.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, the time will begin to flash and the console will pause.
If the pedals are not moved for a few minutes, the console will turn off and the display will be reset.
13
HOW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM
Pulse program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate within a set range during your workout. Pulse program
2 is designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate setting that you select.
Follow the steps below to use a pulse program.
1. Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
2. Select a pulse program.
To select pulse program 1 or 2, press the Program button repeatedly until the number 1 or 2 appears along the left side of the display.
3. Enter a target heart rate.
5. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Pulse program 1 is 30 minutes long, and is divided into several time periods of different lengths.
One target heart rate is programmed for each period. Pulse program 2 is sixty minutes long (you may choose to use only part of the program). The same target heart rate is programmed for the entire program.
During the program, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to being your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can override it by pressing the
Increase and Decrease buttons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance may automatically change.
After the first minute of the program, the pace guide will help you to maintain a steady pedaling pace. When one of the two lower indicators lights, increase your pace; when one of the two upper indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The pace guide is intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
If pulse program 1 is selected, the maximum target heart rate setting for the program will flash in the display (see the drawing above). Press the
Increase and Decrease buttons to change the setting, if desired (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on
page 17). If the maximum target heart rate setting is increased or decreased, the intensity level of the entire program will increase or decrease.
If pulse program 2 is selected, the target heart rate setting for the entire program will flash in the display. Press the Increase and Decrease buttons to change the setting, if desired (see EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 17).
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during a pulse program; however, you must hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for
at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the handgrip pulse sensor, the letters PLS will appear in the display instead of your heart rate.
The display will show the time remaining in pulse program 1, or the elapsed time in pulse program
2. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the program will pause and the time will flash in the display. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
6. Monitor your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 13.
14
7. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 13.
8. When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 13.
HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
Preset programs 3, 4, 5, and 6 automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace as they guide you through effective workouts. The profiles printed on the left side of the display show how the resistance level and the target pace will change during the preset programs.
Follow the steps below to use a preset program.
1. Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
2. Select a preset program.
To select preset program 3, 4, 5, or 6, press the Program button repeatedly until the number 3,
4, 5, or 6 appears along the left side of the display. When a preset program is selected, the display will show how long the program will last.
3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each preset program consists of several time periods of different lengths. One resistance level and one target pace are programmed for each period.
At the end of each period of the program, the resistance level will flash in the display for a few seconds. The resistance of the pedals will then automatically change to the resistance level that is programmed for the next period. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can override it by pressing the Increase and Decrease buttons.
However, when the current period ends, the resistance level will automatically change if a different resistance level is programmed for the next period.
During the program, the pace guide will prompt you to increase or decrease your pedaling pace.
When one of the two lower indicators lights, increase your pace; when one of the two upper indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The pace guide is intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The display will show the time remaining in the program. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the program will pause and the time will flash in the display. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-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.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician. Remember, 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, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your heart rate near the middle number in your training zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise–never hold your breath.
Cooling down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg.
Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
