Warm-Up Period
The cycle provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this time, you
may change the resistance.
Note: If your heart rate moves into the target heart rate zone
[(220 minus age) x 70%] during the 3-minute warm-up period, the
warm-up period ends and the Heart Rate Control
Program begins.
Using the Heart Rate Control Program
When you access the Heart Rate Control Program, the following
occurs:
• The cycle automatically adjusts the resistance to keep
your heart rate at the selected target. Pressing the
RESISTANCE arrow keys no longer affects the resistance, but
does change the target heart rate. Check the SmartRate display
to see if you are maintaining your preferred zone (weight loss or
cardiovascular). Check the Heart Rate display to determine your
actual heart rate.
Important: Automatic adjustments to the resistance cannot take
place if you drop below 20 revolutions per minute (RPM).
• You can change the target heart rate, but doing so affects the
unit’s ability to maintain your target heart rate in the preferred
zone. It takes time for the cycle to readjust the resistance so that
your heart rate remains on target.
• When you complete the program, remember to add a cool-down
period.
Note: If you are having difficulty with the heart rate features, talk
to your club representative.
10 Weight Loss Program
With the Weight Loss Program, the workout time is fixed at 28
minutes and consists of seven 4-minute intervals. You are not
prompted for a workout time. Use the arrow keys to change the
resistance for the rest or work interval. When you make changes, the
program repeats the settings for the remaining intervals.
The display lets you know when the resistance levels are about to
change.
