tings will move one column to the left. The resis-
tance setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the left column of the matrix and the
resistance of the exercise cycle will automatically
change to the resistance setting for the second
segment.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. One resistance setting
and one pace setting are programmed for each
segment. (Note: The same resistance setting
and/or pace setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.) The resistance set-
ting for the first seg-
ment is shown in the
left column of the

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 190.) Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep
your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maxi-
mum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate pro-
gram 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between
50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
4
5
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 10)
or the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the
handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold
the handgrips continuously during the program.
However, you should hold the handgrips fre-
quently for the program to operate properly. Each
time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands
on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Note: When you are not holding the handgrips,
the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display
instead of your heart rate.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Press any button on the console or begin
pedaling to turn on the console.

press the Program
Select button repeat-
edly until an “H 1” or “H 2” appears in the right
display.
Each program is divided into 20 one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance setting and one target
heart rate setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise
cycle regularly. To clean the exercise cycle, use a
soft, damp cloth. Keep liquids away from the console
and keep the console out of direct sunlight.
Locate the Reed Switch (46). Turn the Right Crank
Arm (23) until the Magnet (30) is aligned with the
Reed Switch. Loosen, but do not remove, the indicat-
ed M4 x 16mm Screw (57). Slide the Reed Switch
slightly closer to or away from the Magnet. Then,
retighten the Screw. Turn the Right Crank Arm for a
moment. Repeat until the console displays correct
feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly adjust-
ed, reattach the right side shield and the right pedal.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed
switch, the right side shield must first be removed.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:
• Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for individuals over the
age of 35 or individuals withpre-existing
health problems.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. 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 num-
ber or the middle number in your training zone as you
exercise.
• 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 deter-
mining heart rate trends in general.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that 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, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-
gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above
your age; the three numbers are your “training zone.”
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for
fat burning; the middle number is the recommended
heart rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-
outs 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. The key to success is make exercise a regu-
lar and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

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 ten-
dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-
dons and ankles.
4
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
