CONSOLE DIAGRAM FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE The advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more effective. When you use the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE The lower left corner of the display will show the distance (total revolutions) you have pedaled and your power output in watts. 1. Begin pedaling, or press any button to turn on the console. The upper right corner of the display will show the approximate number of calories you have burned. The upper right corner of the display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 15).
5. Measure your heart rate if desired. HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM If there are sheets Contacts of plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the plastic. To measure your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor with your palms resting against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping the contacts too tightly. 1. Begin pedaling, or press any button to turn on the console. A moment after you turn on the console, the display will light. 2. Select a smart program.
HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep your pedaling pace near the target rpm setting for the current segment. When an upward arrow appears in the display, increase your pace. When a downward arrow appears in the display, decrease your pace. When no arrows appear in the display, maintain your current pace. 1. Begin pedaling, or press any button to turn on the console. A moment after you turn on the console, the display will light. 2. Select a heart rate program.

Note: You can manually override the resistance level; however, if you change the resistance level, you might not maintain the target heart rate. Also, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals may automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
HOW TO USE THE WATTS PROGRAM As you pedal, the console will regularly compare your power output to the target watts setting. If your power output is too far below or above the target watts setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your power output closer to the target watts setting. 1. Begin pedaling, or press any button to turn on the console. A moment after you turn on the console, the display will light. 2. Select the watts program.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES WARNING: Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training zone.
