3. V6X/R6X EXERCISE PROGRAMS
The V6X/R6X exercise programs are designed to help you achieve your personal fitness goals and stay in shape. They have
been organized by category so you can quickly and easily find the best program(s) for your needs.
Each exercise program includes a series of preset resistance profiles that offer you a variety of training programs and intensity
levels.
In addition, to help you meet your muscular and cardiovascular goals and keep you motivated, some Bodyguard®programs
feature target speed profiles. The console interacts with you by means of scrolling messages on target speed and an arrow that
tells you when you need to go faster or slower to reach your target speed.
Example: Target speed display
A) Arrow indicates you
have to pedal slower
To take your training even further, the bike boasts innovative programs to help you work more efficiently and target specific
parts of your body. Once again, the interactive console indicates the various body positions for you to take throughout your
exercise session.
Example: Position display
A) Arrow indicates you
have to pedal faster
The V6X/R6X display console is there to guide you throughout your workout to help you meet your personal goals. Some
programs combine speed profiles and body positions. You can always STOP the scrolling messages and return to your regular
exercise settings by pressing one of the three select keys.
Programs feature between 15 and 20 levels of difficulty, depending on the type of program. By increasing or decreasing the
level of difficulty, you may change the target speed and/or resistance profiles. When a program has levels of difficulty, the
selected level is displayed in the middle of the scrolling screen if the LEVEL (red LED light) is selected.
NOTE: Target speed profiles are suggested speeds only. They are in no way mandatory, but simply a guide to help you get the
most out of your workout. If a speed seems too fast or slow, we suggest you find the pace that suits you.
NOTE: The Body Position feature is there to help you get the most out of your workout. The suggested positions are in no way
mandatory. If a position is uncomfortable, do not take it.
NOTE: When you change the resistance of a segment in programs with 15 levels of difficulty, the resistance value will appear
in the middle of the scrolling screen before being replaced by the selected Profile Level if the LEVEL (red LED light) is selected.

3.1 JustGo™
The JustGoTM program allows you to start a manual exercise at the touch of one key. Since JustGo™ is the initial program, it
will always be displayed first for easy selection. You have total control of the pedal resistance at all times during this program.
Use the JustGoTM program if you like to exercise at fairly constant speeds with little or no changes during the exercise.
During the workout, the selected resistance will stay the same until you change it. A flashing dot indicates your progress. You
may adjust the resistance at any time by pressing the INCREASE/DECREASE LEVEL keys if you want to change the entire
profile or the INCREASE/DECREASE SEGMENT keys if you just want to change a segment.
The JustGoTM program does not allow you to predetermine your exercise time or enter your weight. As a result, the calories
burned and calories per hour values are based on a user weighing 68 kg (150 lbs.). The calories burned values in the JustGoTM
program should be used only as a reference. Moreover, the exercise time is automatically set its maximum of 99 minutes.
There are two ways to access the JustGo™ program.
To start the JustGo™ program:
1. Press the JustGo™ key twice.
2. Begin exercising.

A) Manual
The Manual program allows you to create your own exercise as you progress in the program. Resistance is completely
controlled by the user. At a glance, the JustGoTM and Manual programs seem very similar since the user controls resistance
throughout the exercise. The difference is that the Manual program lets you enter your weight and the exercise duration for a
more accurate caloric display.
During the workout, the selected resistance will stay the same until you change it. A flashing dot indicates your progress. You
may change the resistance at any time by pressing the INCREASE/DECREASE LEVEL keys if you want to change the entire
profile or the INCREASE/DECREASE SEGMENT keys if you just want to change a segment.
This program has 20 levels of difficulty and up to 20 different resistance values per segment.
