Position  
Other riders are more comfortable  
if the arch of their foot is against the  
pedal. Riders are encouraged to be as  
efficient as possible, but use your own  
judgement in the comfort/efficiency  
tradeoff.  
Most riders will find a comfort/efficiency sweet spot at a  
pedal cadence around 80 rpm. More serious riders desiring  
maximum performance typically pedal at around 100 rpm. For  
electromechanical and safety reasons, the bike will not provide  
the fully requested workload when your pedal cadence falls below  
55 rpm.

Breathe in a regular and relaxed manner. Many exercisers do  
not breathe enough, which reduces their exercise capacity and

Monitoring Your Heart Rate  
 O: R Y B  
The PS50 & PS100 Bike has two ways of monitoring your heart  
rate:  
Monitoring  
Your Heart  
Rate  
...By using a chest strap that transmits your heart rate to the bike  
via radio...  
...or by using the metal contact heart rate pads on the handlebars.  
Upright HRC Pads  
Recumbent HRC Pads  
Although your bike functions fine without using the heart rate  
monitoring feature, this kind of monitoring gives you valuable  
feedback on your effort level. Chest strap monitoring also allows  
you to use Heart Rate Control, which is the most advanced  
exercise control system available.

Using the Chest Strap Monitor  
 O: R Y B  
When you wear a Polar® or compatible transmitter strap, the bike  
will display your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute (bpm)  
readout.  
Chest Strap  
Heart Rate  
Monitoring  
The transmitter strap should be worn  
directly against your skin, about one  
inch below the pectoral muscles/breast  
line (see picture below). Women should  
be careful to place the transmitter be-  
low their bra line.  
Examples of Heart Rates  
Found in Daily Life  
An average 30-year-old might have a  
resting heart rate, when sitting totally  
still for several minutes, of 65. During  
hard exercise that can be sustained for  
10 to 15 minutes it might be around  
140 continuously. A maximum heart  
rate that requires maximal exercise for  
several minutes to attain is 185.  
Some moisture is necessary  
between the strap and your  
skin. Sweat from your exer-  
cise works best, but ordinary  
tap water may be used prior  
to your workout if desired.  
A 30-year-old in good shape might  
have a resting heart rate near 55, and  
might exercise for 20 minutes at a heart  
rate of 160.  
A world-class distance runner or  
professional cyclist might have a resting  
heart rate near 45.

Contact Heart Rate  
 O: R Y B  
The contact heart rate system lets you monitor your heart rate  
without wearing a strap.  
Contact  
Heart Rate  
(CHR)  
Gently grasp the contact heart rate pads as shown below.  
When the system detects your hands, a red heart will appear in  
the Heart Rate field of the data display and will flash in time with  
your heart beat. During this time, the system is analyzing and  
locking in your heart rate. Within about 15 seconds, your digital  
heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) should be displayed.  
A Note on CHR Accuracy  
CHR monitoring may be a bit less  
accurate than a chest strap, since  
the heart rate signals are much  
stronger at the chest.  
About 5% of the population cannot  
be picked up by any CHR system.  
This is because their heart is po-  
sitioned in a more up-and-down  
manner in their chest, as opposed  
to leaning over to one side.

For Best Results  
 O: R Y B  
1. Exercise with smooth body motions. Avoid excessive body  
motion, especially in your arms and upper body.  
For Best  
Results  
2. Breathe smoothly and regularly, and avoid talking. (Talking  
will cause unrepresentative heart rate spikes of 5 to 10  
bpm.)  
3. Grip the pads lightly, not tightly.  
4. Make sure your hands are clean, free of both dirt and hand  
lotions.  
When using a Heart Rate Control (HRC) workout, it is best to  
use chest strap monitoring. These workouts work best with the  
extra accuracy gained from a chest-contact heart rate monitoring  
system.

 T: M  P-S P  
Manual control mode changes workload in 10-watt increments.  
The workload stays the same at any pedal cadence (called  
constant power control) unless you drop below 55 rpm. Below 55  
rpm, workload is reduced along with pedal cadence, to prevent  
the sensation of the pedals “locking up.”  
Manual  
Mode  
Three different preset programs are available:  
Pre-Set  
Programs  
C-V Workout, with the workload gradually rising until  
you reach the middle of your workout time, then  
gradually decreasing to the end.  
Weight Loss, with a warmup stage increasing to a  
steady-state workload for the majority of the workout,  
then a cool-down at the end.  
Hill Interval, with four work intervals separated by four  
rest intervals.  
The Random program creates a different program profile each  
time you press the key.  
Sixteen different levels are available to change the difficulty of a  
program. The workload intensities expand and contract  
depending on the level.

How These Modes Work  
 F: H R C  
True’s heart rate control (HRC) workout lets the bike monitor  
your relative exercise intensity by way of your heart rate, then  
automatically adjust the workload to keep you at your desired  
exercise intensity.  
Constant  
HRC  
Your heart rate is a good measure of your body’s exercise stress  
level. It reflects differences in your physical condition, how tired  
you are, the comfort of the workout environment, even your diet  
and emotional state. Thus, using heart rate to control workload  
takes the guesswork out of your workout settings.  
Consult your physician before using heart rate controlled work-  
outs for advice on selecting a target heart rate range. Also, it is im-  
portant to use the bike for several workouts in the manual mode  
while monitoring your heart rate. Compare your heart rate with  
how you feel to ensure your safety and comfort.  
You need to wear a heart rate monitoring chest strap to use heart  
rate control. See the “Monitoring Your Heart Rate” section in  
Chapter 1 for a guide to proper usage.

 F: H R C  
Constant HRC is the best-known type of HRC, and is the easiest to  
use. The bike will gradually raise your heart rate so that you reach  
your target within 5 to 7 minutes.  
Constant  
HRC  
Note that as you tire during your workout, especially in the last  
third, workload will usually have to be reduced to keep you at a  
steady target heart rate.  
Cruise Control is the simplest way to enter Constant HRC train-  
ing. While in manual or any program you can enter Constant HRC  
by simply pressing the Heart Rate Control key. Your current heart  
rate will be set as the target.  
Cruise  
Control  
For best results, you should be at least five minutes into your  
workout and warmed up. This will allow Cruise Control to more  
accurately control your heart rate.  
Remember, you must be wearing a chest strap, and your heart rate  
should be displayed in the Heart Rate window.  
To change your target heart rate press Heart Rate Control. Edit the  
target using

The heart rate monitor transmitter strap should be worn  
Target  
Heart Rate  
Tips  
according to the guidelines in Chapter 1.  
If the transmitter strap is adjusted or moved while exercising,  
heart rate monitoring may be temporarily affected.  
If communication is lost for 30 seconds, the bike will exit the  
HRC workout into a manual workout.  
The transmitter strap sends a low-level radio signal to the bike, so  
interference from other radio and sound waves (including  
everything from cordless telephones to loudspeakers) is possible.  
The good news is that this interference is usually quite brief. If  
you continue to have intermittent heart rate display problems,  
consult your local service technician, as the transmitter strap  
batteries may be low.  
Make sure you breathe smoothly and regularly.  
Talking during your workout usually causes heart rate spikes of  
five beats per minute or more, so avoid talking as much as  
possible.  
Maintain a smooth walking or running motion.  
Two users wearing the same kind of transmitter at the same time  
and in close proximity may cause false heart rate display readings.

The F.I.T. Concept Defined  
 F: D  E P  
The workout portion of your exercise program consists of three  
major variables: Frequency, Intensity, and Time.  
What is  
the F.I.T.  
Concept?  
Frequency: How Often You Exercise  
You should exercise three to five times a week to improve your  
cardiovascular and muscle fitness. Improvements are significantly  
smaller with less frequent exercise.  
Intensity: How Hard You Exercise  
Intensity of exercise is reflected in your heart rate. Exercise must  
be sufficiently rigorous to strengthen your heart muscle and con-  
dition your cardiovascular system. Only your doctor can prescribe  
the target training heart range appropriate for your particular  
needs and physical condition.  
Start with exercise that stimulates you to breathe more deeply.  
Alternate days of moderate and easy exercise to help your body  
adapt to new levels of exertion without unnecessary strain.  
If you are just beginning an exercise program, you may be most  
comfortable using your bike at low workloads. As you use your  
bike regularly, higher workloads may be more comfortable and  
more effective.  
If you feel out of breath before you have exercised 12 minutes, you  
are probably exercising too hard.

More F.I.T. Concept Overview  
 F: D  E P  
As your fitness level improves, you will need to increase your  
workout intensity in order to reach your target heart rate. The  
first increase may be necessary after two to four weeks of regular  
exercise. Never exceed your target heart rate zone. Increase the  
workload on the bike to raise your heart rate to the level  
recommended by your doctor.  
METs  
One MET is the amount of energy your body uses when you’re  
resting. If a physical activity has an equivalent of six METs, its  
energy demands are six times that of your resting state. The MET  
is a useful measurement because it accounts for differences in  
body weight.  
Time: How Long You Exercise  
Sustained exercise conditions your heart, lungs, and muscles. The  
longer you are able to sustain exercise within your target heart  
range, the greater the aerobic benefits.  
To begin, maintain two to three minutes of steady, rhythmic  
exercise and then check your heart rate.  
The initial goal for aerobic training is 12 continuous minutes.  
Increase your workout time approximately one or two minutes  
per week until you are able to maintain 20-30 continuous minutes  
at your training heart rate.

Utilizing the F.I.T. Concept  
 F: D  E P  
The F.I.T. concept is designed to help you begin a program  
tailored to your needs. You may wish to keep an exercise log to  
monitor your progress.  
Using  
the F.I.T.  
Concept  
You can get valuable fitness benefits from your True Bike. Using  
the bike regularly may increase the ability of your heart and lungs  
to supply oxygen and nutrients to exercising muscles over an  
extended period of time. The bike will also help you develop  
added muscle endurance and balanced strength throughout your  
body.  
Your  
Fitness  
Program  
Calculate your maximum heart rate as a first step in developing  
your fitness program. One formula to calculate average maximum  
heart rate for one minute is:  
Determining  
Your Needs  
220 - Age  
To find your pulse, locate a vein on your neck or inside your wrist,  
then count beats for ten seconds, then multiply by six.  
It’s also important to know your target training zone or target  
heart rate. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)  
suggests 55% to 65% for lower-conditioned users, 75% to 80% for  
moderately conditioned users, and up to 90% for well-conditioned  
users.

Beginning Your F.I.T. Program  
 F: D  E P  
In addition to monitoring your heart rate as you exercise, be  
certain of how quickly your heart rate recovers. If your heart rate  
is over 120 beats per minute five minutes after exercising, or is  
higher than normal the morning after exercising, your exertion  
may be too strenuous for your current level of fitness. Reducing  
the intensity of your workout is recommended.  
The age-adjusted target heart rates indicated in the chart in  
Appendix A reflect averages. A variety of factors (including  
medication, emotional state, temperature, and other conditions)  
can affect the exercise heart rate appropriate for you.  
Warning: Consult your doctor to establish the exercise intensity  
(target heart rate zone) appropriate for your age and condition  
before beginning any exercise program.  
Warm-Up: Slow and Deliberate Exercise  
Beginning  
Your  
You are not warmed up until you begin to perspire lightly and  
breathe deeper. Warming up prepares your heart and other  
muscles for more intense exercise and helps you avoid premature  
exhaustion. Start slowly, exploring different workloads until you  
can comfortably sustain your exercise level. A good suggestion is  
a minimum of three minutes. Perspiration on your brow is a good  
indicator of a thorough warm-up. The older you are, the longer  
your warm-up period should be.

Concentrate on exercising smoothly.  
Cool-Down: Slow and Relaxed Exercise  
Cooling down relaxes your muscles and gradually lowers your  
heart rate. Slowly reduce your workload until your heart rate is  
below 60 percent of your maximum heart rate. The cool down  
should last at least five minutes, followed by some light stretching  
to enhance your flexibility.  
Beginning a Fitness Program  
If you cannot sustain 12 continuous minutes in your target heart  
rate zone, exercise several times a day to get into the habit of  
exercising.  
Try to reach and maintain 60-65 percent of your maximum heart

 F: D  E P  
Consistent aerobic exercise will help you change your body  
composition by lowering your percentage of body fat. If weight  
loss is a goal, combine an increase in the length of your workouts  
with a moderate decrease in caloric intake. For weight control,  
how long and how often you exercise is more important than how  
hard you exercise.  
Managing  
Weight  
Exercise four to five times a week.  
Try to reach and maintain 60-75 percent of your maximum heart  
rate with moderate exercise.  
Exercise for 30-45 minutes at 60-65 percent of your target heart  
rate.  
Here are some tips to achieving your weight management goal:  
Consume most of your dietary calories at breakfast and lunch,  
and eat a light dinner. Do not eat close to bedtime.  
Exercise before meals. Moderate exercise will help suppress your  
appetite.  
Take exercise breaks throughout the day to help increase  
metabolism (calorie expenditure).

Your PS50 & PS100 Bike doesn’t require any routine maintenance,  
not even lubrication. Keeping it clean is the most important task.  
How to Care  
For Your  
Bike  
After every workout: Perspiration should be wiped from the  
control console, contact heart rate pads, shrouds, and seat.  
Weekly: Wipe down your PS50 & PS100 Bike once a week with a  
water-dampened soft cloth. On the contact heart rate pads, use a  
glass cleaning solution. Be careful not to get excessive moisture  
between the edge of the overlay panel and the console, as this  
might create an electrical hazard or cause the electronics to fail.  
Expert service and maintenance at a reasonable cost are available  
through your factory-trained, authorized True Fitness dealer. The  
dealer maintains a stock of repair and replacement parts and has  
the technical knowledge to meet your service needs.
