CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:
• Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for persons over the age of
35 or persons with pre-existing health prob-
lems.
33
9
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.
33

34
3. Whilst another person holds the Upright (2) in the posi-
tion shown, connect the Extension Wire Harness (44)
to the Wire Harness (79). Carefully pull the upper
end of the Extension Wire Harness to remove any
slack. Whilst holding the upper end of the
3
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
Make sure the
Wire Harnesses
(44, 79) do not
get pinched and
damaged during
this step.
44
• 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.
73
59
Aerobic Exercise
Extension Wire Harness, insert the Upright into the
Frame (1). Do not pinch the Wire Harnesses.
67
2
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 as you exercise.
67
59
Next, turn the Upright Knob (43) counterclockwise sev-
eral turns. Pull the Knob, slide the Upright (2) down
until the Knob is aligned with one of the four adjust-
ment holes, and then release the Knob. Do not tighten
the Knob yet.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

Holes
EXERCISE INTENSITY
1
Feed the upper end of the Extension Wire Harness (44)
through the Upright Extension (73). Attach the Upright
Extension to the Upright (2) with three M10 x 27mm
Button Screws (67) and three M10 Split Washers (59).
44
79
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.
43
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
4. Connect the wire harness on the Handgrip Pulse
Sensor (29) to the indicated wire harness on the
Console (23). Insert both wire harnesses into the open-
ing in the bottom of the Console. Next, insert the metal
tube on the Handgrip Pulse Sensor into the opening in
the bottom of the Console. Be careful not to pinch
the wire harnesses.
4
23
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.
29
52
Bracket
23
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
program, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
52
Tube
Tube
See the inset drawing. Align the holes in the bracket on
the Console (23) with the holes in the metal tube on
the Handgrip Pulse Sensor (29). Tighten two M4 x
16mm Screws (52) through the bracket into the tube as
shown.
29
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.
Wire Harnesses
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 lower two numbers are recommended heart rates
for fat burning; the highest number is the recommend-
ed heart rate for aerobic exercise.
5. The Console (23) requires four 1.5V “D” batteries;
alkaline batteries are recommended. Press the tab on
the battery cover, and lift off the battery cover. Insert
four batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure
that the batteries are oriented as shown by the dia-
gram inside the battery compartment. Reattach the
battery cover.

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 exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Fat Burning
Batteries
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

CONSOLE DESCRIPTION
G. Pace indicators—When the manual mode is select-
ed, only the left pace indicator will appear. This
indicator will show your pedalling pace. As you
increase or decrease your pace, the indicator will
increase or decrease in height. When a program is
selected, both pace indicators will appear. The left
indicator will show your actual pedalling pace, and
the right indicator will show a target pace. During
the program, the target pace will periodically
change; as the right indicator changes in height,
adjust your pace so that both indicators are the
same height. Important: The target pace is a
goal pace. Your actual pace may be slower
than the target pace, especially during the first
few months of your exercise program. Make
sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable
for you.

optional chest pulse sensor
.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest
pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips con-
tinuously during the program. However, you should
hold the handgrips frequently for the program to
operate properly. Each time you hold the hand-
grips, 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 display instead of your heart rate.
Heart rate program 7 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 8 is
designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate that you choose.
