COMPUTER INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Your bike is equipped with a programmable computer to help you track your progress and motivate you
to reach your fitness goals.
This computer provides different programs designed to tailor to your fitness goals. Simply choose the
program you like, set the time limit and begin exercising - your monitor will then show your pulse,
approximate calories burned, elapsed time, speed and distance traveled.
Always consult with your physician before beginning any exercise program. If you
are taking medication which may affect your heart rate, a physician's advise is abso-
lutely essential.
IMPORTANT:
WARNING:The batteries must be installed as instructed in this manual. Do not carry batteries
loosely, such as in a purse or pocket. The batteries may explode or leak and cause
injury if installed improperly, misused, disposed of in a fire or recharged.
FUNCTIONS and FEATURES:
TIME: Shows your elapsed workout time in minutes and seconds. Your computer will automatically
count up from 0:00 to 99:59 in one second intervals. You may also program your computer to count
down from a set value by using the UP and DOWN buttons. If you continue exercising once the time
has reached 0:00, the computer will begin counting at the programmed time setting. Example: If your
time setting was 30 minutes and the computer has reached 0:00, the computer will stop tracking time
after four seconds of inactivity and will continue once you resume exercising.
SPEED: Displays your workout speed in miles per hour.
DISTANCE: Displays the cumulative distance traveled during each workout up to a maximum of 99.9
miles. The distance will be displayed in hundredths of a mile until you reach 10 miles. Then distance
will be displayed in tenths of a mile. Example: 00.00-9.99 miles, then 10.0-99.9 miles.
CALORIES: Your computer will estimate the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your
workout. Calorie expenditure on your computer is based on realistic expectations; however, your
computer is not individually programmable for all necessary variables to accurately monitor actual
calories burned.
AGE: Your computer is age-programmable from 16 to 99 years when you choose program 11 or
program 12. The default age is 25 years.
PULSE: Your computer displays your pulse rate in beats per minute during your workout. After your
workout, the computer will display your average heart rate covering your entire exercise session.
Pulse handgrips, located on the handlebars enable the user to read his/her pulse rate. By grasping the
grips and holding firmly the display will read your pulse rate in the display window. This can be read at
any time in any program.

WARMING UP
The greatest improvements are achieved when muscles are warm. Stretches should be slow, steady,
and held for 15 to 30 seconds, then gradually release back to the starting position. Stretch to a point
where tension is felt, not pain. Never bounce or jerk while stretching. The most important feature of
balanced fitness is to be consistent. Begin each workout period by first warming up. Start your warm up
by walking in place or around in the house for 2 to 5 minutes, then perform the stretches suggested
below. This will slowly increase your body temperature and blood flow, so your muscles are more
flexible, thus preventing muscle strain and injuries. The idea is to gradually build up your entire system
for the workout period, then after you workout, gradually return to normal.
Some suggested warm-up exercise are as follows:
WAIST TWIST: With your feet shoulder width apart, slowly twist your upper body right and left.
CALF STRETCH: Lean against a wall or a solid object keeping your body straight. Slowly raise up
and down on the balls or your feet.
SQUATS: From a standing position, balance yourself by holding onto a solid object or the wall. Slowly
squat down until the upper portion of your legs are level with your knees. Return to the standing
position.
WORKING OUT
Too much... two little... how much is enough?
The key to a healthful program is defining your personal goals and establishing an exercise/nutrition
program that will help you to be successful. At approximately 20 minutes into an aerobic exercise your
body shifts into what is called the ìfat-burning phaseî. During this phase your are able to attack greater
amounts of stored fat. Although it is often neglected, stretching can effectively reduce muscle tension,
help good posture, increase range of motion and improve the loss of movement. It is a good idea to
drink cool water before, during and after your workout.
CAUTION: Immediately after a workout if you are over-heated, do not drink lots of ice cold water. Cool
your body down gradually using cool water. Drinking after a workout replaces the water that you have
lost by sweating during your workout.
If the water is not replaced, it could result in heat exhaustion and/or dehydration. Drinking eight glasses
of water a day is generally recommended. After completing the stretches and warm-up, you are ready
to begin.

HOW TO BEGIN
WARNING: Prior to undertaking any exercise, or program of exercise that requires a major in-
crease in physical activity, consultation with a competent medical authority is strongly
recommended. In addition, anyone who has a physical handicap, who suffers from a
prolonged illness, or who has increased risk factors such as obesity, hypertension,
cardiocirculatory problems, etc., should consult a competent medical authority before
undertaking any exercise, or engaging in a continuing program of exercise.
By first doing the above, you will then have a starting point from which to measure
your increased physical improvement.
CAUTION: Stop exercising if you experience any of the following symptoms.
_
Pressure, tension, or pain in your chest, shoulders, neck, jaw, or arms.
_
Noticeable pain of any kind (i.e. leg or stomach cramps).
_
Lightheaded or dizziness (fainting-lack of vision).
_
Abnormal breathing (rapid or lack of air).
_
Sudden unsteadiness, weakness or numbness of the face, arms, legs or body.
_
Loss of speech, problems speaking, or understanding speech.
_
Unusual fatigue.
_
Lowering of your heart rate with increased exercise demands.
_
Fluttering in your chest (heart palpitations).
If any of these symptoms occur, call your doctor immediately. If exercise is new to you, don't push
yourself too fast. Be conscious of your body and what it is telling you. If pain develops anywhere in your
body, slow down.
SET FITNESS GOALS
General guidelines to follow.
The key to a healthful program is defining your personal goals, and establishing an exercise/nutrition
program that will help you to be successful.
What your individual exercise goals are will depend on many factors, some of which includes your age,
current fitness level, sex, heredity, and according to your lifestyle, the amount of time available to
exercise.
Disciplining yourself not to skip a workout period is a very important short term goal. Many exercise
programs fail because this goal is not set as a priority. Just some of the advantages that you will receive
with a consistent long term exercise program include; a decrease in the percentage of stored fat, firmer
better toned muscles, increased vitality, and improved overall health in all areas of your physical and
mental efficiency.

PLANNING AN EXERCISE PROGRAM
When and how much exercise to do.
Probably the most important part of exercising, especially if exercise is new for you, is commitment,
commitment, commitment! Maintaining a physically fit body does not require hours and hours of your
time. For an average non-exercising person, a safe and generally accepted schedule is to exercise
consistently for 20 to 30 minutes, three times per week to maintain cardiovascular fitness.
Keeping a written record will help you to see your progress and may serve to help you keep your
commitment. It is extremely important to start out slow and not to overdo, especially for the first month
or two. Two reasonable times to workout, if it fits your schedule, is in the morning before breakfast, or
early evening before your evening meal.
Research shows that to increase your fitness level you should workout at a level of 70 to 80 percent of
your maximum heart rate. This is the target zone for best results. Exceeding your target zone will not
increase your fitness level, and could be very dangerous.
MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE
Before beginning your workout, check your normal resting heart rate. Place your fingers lightly against
your neck, or against your wrist over the main artery. After feeling your pulse, count the number of
beats for 10 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by six to determine your pulse rate per minute. A
chart is provided for you to log your heart rate at rest; after warming up, during your workout, and two
minutes during your cool down, then 10 minutes after your cool down. We recommend taking your
heart rate at these times to accurately track your progress as it relates to better physical fitness.
Your maximum heart rate and aerobic capacity naturally decreases as you age. In general, to deter-
mine your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. This may vary from one person to another,
but use this number to find your approximate effective target zone.
(MHR)= Maximum Heart Rate
(THR)= Target Heart Rate
220 - age = maximum heart rate (MHR). MHR x .70 = 70% of your heart rate.
MHR x .85 = 85% of your maximum heart rate.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your calculations will be as follows:
220 - 30 = 190
190 x .70 = 133 (Low end or 70% of THR)
190 x .85 = 161 (High end or 85% of THR)
See Table No. 1 for additional calculations.
If exercise is new to you, donít push yourself too fast. Be conscious of your body and what it is telling
you. If pain develops anywhere in your body, slow down. Heart rhythm disturbances may occur if you
stop abruptly, so always remember to cool down.
You are an individual and your body is unique. All of the information in this manual is for an average
person with average physical fitness. Use these instructions as a guide.
