HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM


See step 1 on page 9.

Select one of the eight preset programs.

To select one of theeight preset pro-grams, press theResistance/Pace but-ton repeatedly until“P 1,” “P 2,” “P 3,”“P 4,” “P 5,” “P 6,”“P 7,” or “P 8” appears in the upper display.

When a preset program is selected, a profile ofthe resistance settings of the program will scrollacross the matrix and the maximum resistancesetting of the program will flash in the lower dis-play. A few seconds after a program is selected,the upper display will show how long the programwill last.

Press the Start button or begin pedaling tostart the program.

Each program is divided into several one-minutesegments. One resistance setting and one pacesetting are programmed for each segment. Note:The same resistance setting and/or pace settingmay be programmed for two or more consecutivesegments.

The resistancesetting for the firstsegment will beshown in theflashing CurrentSegment columnof the matrix. (Thepace settings arenot shown in the matrix.) The resistance settingsfor the next several segments will be shown in thecolumns to the right.

As you exercise, the Target Pace guide will helpyou to keep your pedaling pace near the pacesetting for the current segment. When one of the“Too Slow” indicators lights, increase your pace.

When the one of the “Too Fast” indicators lights,decrease your pace. When the “On Pace” indica-tor lights, maintain your current pace.

Important: The pace settings are intendedonly to provide motivation. Your actual pacemay be slower than the pace settings. Makesure to exercise at a pace that is comfortablefor you.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-ment of the program, both the Current Segmentcolumn and the column to the right will flash, aseries of tones will sound, and all resistance set-tings will move one column to the left. The resis-tance setting for the second segment will then beshown in the flashing Current Segment column,and the resistance of the elliptical exerciser willchange to the resistance setting for the secondsegment. Note: If all of the indicators in theCurrent Segment column are lit after the resis-tance settings have moved to the left, the resis-tance settings may move downward so only thehighest indicators appear in the matrix.

The program will continue until the resistancesetting for the last segment is shown in theCurrent Segment column and the last segmentends.

Note: During the program, you can override theresistance setting for the current segment, ifdesired, by pressing the 1 Step Resistance but-tons. However, when the next segment begins,the resistance will change if a different resistancesetting is programmed for the next segment.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tonewill sound and the program will pause. To restartthe program, simply resume pedaling.

To select a heart rateprogram, press theHeart Rate Controlbutton once or twiceuntil “P 9” or “P10”appears in the upperdisplay. A few sec-onds after a program is selected, the upper dis-play will show how long the program will last.

If the first heart rateprogram (P 9) isselected, a profile ofthe target heart ratesettings of the pro-gram will scroll acrossthe matrix.

If the second heartrate program (P10)is selected, a pulsesymbol will appear inthe matrix.

Enter a target heart rate setting.

If the first heart rateprogram is selected,the maximum targetheart rate setting ofthe program will flashin the lower display. Ifdesired, press theincrease and decrease buttons to change themaximum target heart rate setting (see EXER-CISE INTENSITY on page 20). Note: If the maxi-mum target heart rate setting is changed, theintensity level of the entire program will change.

If the second heart rate program is selected,the target heart rate setting for the program willflash in the lower display. If desired, press theincrease and decrease buttons to change the tar-get heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSI-TY on page 20). Note: The same target heartrate setting will be programmed for all segments.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulsesensor continuously during a heart rate program;however, you should hold the handgrip pulsesensor frequently for the program to operateproperly. Each time you hold the handgrippulse sensor, keep your hands on the metalcontacts for at least 30 seconds.

Press the Start button to start the program.

First heart rate program—This program is divid-ed into 20 one-minute segments. One targetheart rate setting is programmed for each seg-ment. Note: The same target heart rate settingmay be programmed for two or more consecutivesegments.

The target heartrate setting for thefirst segment willbe shown in theflashing CurrentSegment columnof the matrix. Thetarget heart ratesettings for the next several segments will beshown in the columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-ment of the program, both the Current Segmentcolumn and the column to the right will flash, aseries of tones will sound, and all target heartrate settings will move one column to the left.The target heart rate setting for the second seg-ment will then be shown in the flashing CurrentSegment column.

Second heart rate program—This program isdivided into 40 one-minute segments. The sametarget heart rate is programmed for all segments.Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising orselect a different program before the programends.

Both heart rate programs—As you pedal, theconsole will regularly compare your heart rate tothe target heart rate setting. If your heart rate istoo far below or above the target heart rate set-ting, the resistance of the elliptical exerciser willautomatically increase or decrease to bring yourheart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.

The Target Pace guide will prompt you toincrease or decrease your pedaling pace duringthe program. When one of the “Too Slow” indica-tors lights, increase your pace. When the one ofthe “Too Fast” indicators lights, decrease yourpace. When the “On Pace” indicator lights, main-tain your current pace.

Important: The target heart rate settings areintended only to provide motivation. Youractual heart rate may be slower than the tar-get heart rate settings. Make sure to exerciseat a pace that is comfortable for you.

Note: During the program, you can manually over-ride the resistance setting for the current seg-ment, if desired, with the 1 Step Resistance but-tons. However, when the console compares yourheart rate to the target heart rate setting, theresistance of the elliptical exerciser may automat-ically increase or decrease to bring your heartrate closer to the target heart rate setting.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tonewill sound and the program will pause. To restartthe program, simply resume pedaling.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

The following guidelines will help you to plan yourexercise program. Remember that proper nutritionand adequate rest are essential for successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen yourcardiovascular system, the key to achieving thedesired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.The proper intensity level can be found by using yourheart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fatburning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your agenear the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off tothe nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbersabove your age. The three numbers are your “trainingzone.” The lower two numbers are recommendedheart rates for fat burning; the highest number is therecommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.

During the first few minutes of exercise, your bodyuses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise doesyour body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of yourexercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-ber in your training zone as you exercise.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of yourexercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-ber in your training zone as you exercise.

Aerobic Exercise

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 oxygenfor prolonged periods of time. This increases thedemand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobicexercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise untilyour heart rate is near the highest number in yourtraining zone as you exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretchingand light exercise. A proper warm-up increases yourbody 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 trainingzone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your trainingzone for longer than 20 minutes.)

A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Thiswill increase the flexibility of your muscles and willhelp to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete threeworkouts each week, with at least one day of restbetween workouts. After a few months of regular exer-cise, you may complete up to five workouts each weekif desired. The key to success is to make exercise aregular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

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

The pulse sensor is not a medical device.Various factors may affect the accuracy ofheart rate readings. The pulse sensor isintended only as an exercise aid in determin-ing heart rate trends in general.
