Fitness Bike
XBR55
When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then Enter key, you have the option of
entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings, then
just press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the
start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the
instructions in the Message Center. If you start a program without changing the settings,
the default or saved settings will be used.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last
Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and
Weight the first time you use the fitness bike, you will not have to enter it every time you work
out unless either your Age or Weight changes, or someone else enters a different Age and
Weight.
Entering A Program And Changing Settings
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit
your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct.
You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart
Rate programs to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the
work settings could be too high or low for you. Entering your Weight aides in calculating a more
correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count, we do want to be
as close as possible.
CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym
or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor
your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately
is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is different
and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn calories
at an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you have finished exercising!
Programming The Console
The program keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you
may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that
you want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key
to select the program and enter into the data-setting mode.
The fitness bike has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sen-
sors on the stationary handle bars or wearing the heart rate transmitter (see Using Heart Rate
Transmitter section) will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse
Display Window will display your heart rate, or Pulse in beats per minute.
The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, press the button on
the left side of the console.
