HOW TO USE A HEART RATE WORKOUT
1. Press any button on the console or begin ped-
aling to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the displays and
the target pacer coach will light. A tone will then
sound and the console will be ready for use.
2. Select a heart rate workout.
To select one of the heart rate workouts, press the
Heart Rate 1 or the Heart Rate 2 button on the left
side of the console.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
A few seconds after you
select a heart rate
workout, the target
heart rate setting for the
workout will flash in the
lower right display.
During heart rate workout 1, the same target
heart rate setting will be programmed for all seg-
ments of the workout. If you have selected heart
rate workout 1, press the increase and decrease
buttons above the Heart Rate buttons to enter the
desired target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 23).
During heart rate workout 2, different target
heart rate settings will be programmed for different
segments of the workout. If you have selected
heart rate workout 2, press the increase and
decrease buttons above the Heart Rate buttons to
enter the desired maximum target heart rate set-
ting for the workout (see EXERCISE INTENSITY
on page 23).
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during heart rate workouts; how-
ever, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor
frequently for the workouts to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds.
5. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Heart rate workout 1 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. Note: For a shorter workout,
stop exercising or select a different workout before
the workout ends.
Heart rate workout 2 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
consecutive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile in the left
display will show your progress. The flashing seg-
ment of the profile represents the current segment
of the workout. The height of the flashing segment
indicates the target heart rate setting for the cur-
rent segment. At the end of each segment of the
workout, a series of tones will sound and the next
segment of the profile will begin to flash.
During both workouts, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting for the current segment of the workout. If
your heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will
automatically increase or decrease to bring your
heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
Each time the resistance changes, the resistance
level will appear in the display for a few seconds
to alert you.
