HOW TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE CYCLE
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL PROGRAM
Turn on the power
1
2
To turn on the power, press any button on the
console or simply begin pedaling. Note: If batter-
ies were just installed, the power will already be
on.
Select the manual program
Each time the power
is turned on, the
manual program will
automatically be
selected, as shown
by the “P-1” in the
display (P-1 is the manual program). If you have
selected a different program, select the manual
mode again by pressing the program button
repeatedly until the “P-1” reappears.
If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic
on the face of the console, remove it.
Begin pedaling and adjust the resistance of
the pedals as desired

As you exercise, press the resistance + and –
buttons to adjust the resistance of the pedals.
Note: After the buttons are pressed, it may take
a moment for the selected resistance setting to
be reached.
The innovative console offers an impressive array of
features to help you get the most from your workouts.
When the manual program is selected, you can adjust
the resistance of the pedals with a touch of a button.
As you exercise, the console will display your pedal-
ing speed, the number of Calories you have burned,
the elapsed time, and the distance you have pedaled.
You can even measure your heart rate using the built-
in pulse sensor.
Follow your progress with the console display
As you exercise, the
matrix on the left side
Matrix
of the display will
show your progress.
During the first
minute that you exer-
cise, the first column of the matrix will flash; dur-
ing the second minute, the second column will
flash; during the third minute, the third column
will flash, and so forth, until the tenth column is
flashing. After you have exercised for ten min-
utes, the matrix will reset and the first column will
begin to flash again.
The console also offers ten preset workout programs.
Five programs automatically change the resistance of
the pedals as they guide you through effective work-
outs, and five programs automatically adjust the resis-
tance of the pedals to keep your heart rate near pres-
elected levels during your workouts.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
the heart rate programs, press the program button
repeatedly until a “P-7,” “P-8,” “P-9,” “P10,” or
“P11” appears in the display.
Each heart rate program automatically adjusts the
resistance of the pedals to keep your heart rate near a
certain level while you exercise.
Each heart rate program is designed to keep your
heart rate near a certain percentage of your
maximum heart rate while you exercise. (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.)
Programs 7 and 8 are low-intensity fat burning pro-
grams. To burn fat, you must exercise at a low intensity
level for a sustained period of time. As you exercise,
pedal at a relatively slow speed; the resistance of the
pedals will increase or decrease as needed to keep
your heart rate near the proper level.
Program 7 (P-7) will keep your heart rate near
50% of your maximum heart rate while you exer-
cise, P-8 will keep your heart rate near 60% of
your maximum heart rate, P-9 will keep your
heart rate near 70% of your maximum heart rate,
P10 will keep your heart rate near 80% of your
maximum heart rate, and P11 will keep your heart
rate near 90% of your maximum heart rate.
Programs 9, 10, and 11 are moderate-intensity aerobic
programs. For aerobic exercise, you must exercise at
a moderate intensity level for a prolonged period of
time. As you exercise, pedal at a moderate speed; the
resistance of the pedals will increase or decrease as
needed to keep your heart rate near the proper level.
Begin pedaling and follow your progress with

HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE SEAT
Measure your heart rate regularly
5
For effective exercise, the seat should be in the proper
position. As you pedal, there should be a slight bend in
your knees when the pedals are in the farthest posi-
tion.
During the program, slow your pedaling speed
briefly and measure your heart rate regularly
(refer to step 5 on page 9). Each time you mea-
sure your heart rate, the resistance of the pedals
will automatically increase or decrease, if neces-
sary, to keep your heart rate near the preselected
percentage of your maximum heart rate. It is not
necessary to keep your hands on the metal con-
tacts when you are not measuring your heart
rate. Note: If your heart rate is not shown,
press the reset button to reset the pulse sen-
sor.
To adjust the seat,
pull the seat knob
and slide the Seat
Carriage (11) to the

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
are listed according to age and physical condition.
During the first few months of your exercise program,
keep your heart rate near the low end of your training
zone as you exercise. After a few months of regular
exercise, your heart rate can be increased until it is
near the middle of your training zone as you exercise.
WARNING:
Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
individuals over the age of 35 or individuals
withpre-existing health problems.
To measure your
heart rate, use the
built-in pulse
sensor. You can
also measure your
pulse by placing
two fingers on

find your heart rate. (A six-second count is used
because your heart rate drops quickly when you stop
exercising.) If your heart rate is too high, decrease the
intensity of your exercise. If your heart rate is too low,
increase the intensity of your exercise.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important
to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper inten-
sity level can be found by using your heart rate as a
guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate
should be maintained at a level between 70% and
85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise.
This is known as your training zone. You can find
your training zone in the table below. Training zones
A well-rounded workout includes three important 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 40 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.)

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. CAUTION: Be sure to progress at your own
pace and avoid overdoing it. Incorrect or excessive
training may result in injury to your health.
