handgrips, keep your hands on the metal con-
tacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you
are not holding the handgrips, the letters PLS will
appear in the large display instead of your heart
rate.
HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Heart Rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 65% and 85% 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 25 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 195 beats per minute.) Heart Rate program 2 is
designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate that you select.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
5
To start the program, simply begin pedaling.
Program 1 consists of 20 one-minute periods.
One resistance level and one target heart rate are
programmed for each period. (The same resis-
tance level and/or target heart rate may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive periods.)
Program 2 is sixty minutes long (you may choose
to use only part of the program). The same resis-
tance level and target heart rate are programmed
for the entire program.
Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.
Turn on the console.

If program 1 is selected, the resistance of the
pedals will periodically change. (Note: If the resis-
tance level is too high or too low, you can change
it by pressing the + and – buttons below the large
display. However, when the current period is com-
pleted, the resistance of the pedals may automati-
cally change.) If program 2 is selected, the
resistance of the pedals will not change. Note:
You can change the resistance level for the entire
program by pressing the + and – buttons below
the large display if desired.
Each time the console is
turned on, the manual
mode will be selected. To
select a Heart Rate pro-
gram, press the Program
button repeatedly until the
number 1 or 2 appears in
the small display.

When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the
console will compare your heart rate to the cur-
rent target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far
above or below the target heart rate, the number
of arrows in the small display will change to
prompt you to increase or decrease your pace.
When the number of arrows changes, change
your pace until there is one arrow pointing to
each segment of the indicator bar. Important:
The target pace is intended only to provide a
goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the
target pace, especially during the first few
months of your exercise program. Make sure
to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle reg-
ularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 30 seconds.
To clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild soap. Important: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts
can be cleaned with a soft cloth; never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
HOW TO MOVE THE EXERCISE CYCLE
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
To move the exercise cycle, stand in front of the exer-
cise cycle, hold the handlebars, and place one foot on
the front stabilizer. Pull the handlebars until the exer-
cise cycle can be moved on the front wheels.
Carefully move the exercise cycle to the desired loca-
tion and then lower it.
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 6 on page
7 for replacement instructions.
HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE
After the exer-
cise cycle has
been moved to
the location
where it will be
used, make sure
that both ends of

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
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 in your training zone as you exercise. For maxi-
mum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise
until your heart rate is near the middle number in your
training zone as you exercise.
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.
Aerobic 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 determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-
cise 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.
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
burning, 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. Note: During the first few weeks of your exer-
cise program, 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; the highest num-
ber is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exer-
cise.
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. Remember, the key to success is make exer-
cise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
