■: HOW TO-'USE:A.SMART PROGRAM
Each Smart program will automatically change the
resistance of the pedals and prompt you to increase or
decrease your pace as it guides you through an effec­
tive workout. Programs 3 and 4 are weight loss pro­
grams, program 5 is an aerobic program, and program
6 is a high-performance interval-training program.
Follow the steps below to use a Smart program.
M Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11.
Select one of the Smart programs.
Each time the console is
turned on, the manual
mode will be selected. To
select a Smart program,
press the Program button
repeatedly until the num­
ber 3, 4, 5, or 6 appears in
the small display.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
To start the program, simply begin pedaling. Each
Smart program consists of 20 or 30 one-minute
periods. One resistance level and one target pace
are programmed for each period. (The same
resistance level and/or target pace may be pro­
grammed for two or more consecutive periods.)
At the end of each period of the program, the
resistance of the pedals will automatically change
if a different resistance level is programmed for
the next period. Note: If the resistance level is too
high or too low, you can change it by pressing the
+ and - buttons below the large display. However,
when the current period is completed, the resis­
tance of the pedals will automatically change if a
different resistance level is programmed for the
next period.
The target pace
for the current
period will be
shown by the
arrows in the
small display. To
pedal at the target
pace, simply
increase or decrease your pace until there is one
arrow pointing to each segment of the indicator
bar (see the drawing above). At the end of each
period, the number of arrows will change if a dif­
ferent target pace is programmed for the next
period. When the number of arrows changes,
change your pace until there is one arrow point­
ing to each segment of the indicator bar.
Important: The target pace is intended only to
provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slow­
er than the target pace, especially during the
first few months of your exercise program.
Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort­
able for you.
During the program, the center of the large dis­
play will show the time remaining in the program.
If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the dis­
plays will pause and the time will flash. If you
continue pedaling after the program is completed,
the displays will continue to show exercise feed­
back.
Follow your progress with the large display.

■3! Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 12.
Turn on the fan if desired.

Q When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
