CONSOLE DIAGRAM FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE workouts. Each preset workout automatically changes the resistance of the pedals as it guides you through an effective workout. The advanced console offers an array of features designed to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable. You can even connect your MP3 player or CD player to the console sound system and listen to your favorite music or audio books while you exercise.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE Profile—When a workout is selected, this display mode will show a profile of the resistance settings of the workout. 1. Turn on the console. Pulse—This display mode will show your heart rate when you use the handgrip heart rate monitor (see step 5). Press any button or begin pedaling to turn on the console. When you turn on the console, the display will turn on. A tone will sound and the console will be ready for use.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired. HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT If there are sheets of plastic on the Contacts metal contacts on the handgrip heart rate monitor, remove the plastic. In addition, make sure that your hands are clean. To measure your heart rate, hold the handgrip heart rate monitor with your palms resting against the contacts.

To adjust the drive belt, you must remove the shield cover and the left shield (see the instructions below). 46 See EXPLODED DRAWING B on page 27.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES 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.
