Next, the words ENTER WEI HT and a weight
setting will appear in the main display.
To enter your weight (1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds),

the Enter button. Then, press the Enter button.
5. Start the program.
Press the Start button or begin pedaling to start the
program.
Each custom program is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and one
target rpm (pace) is programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or
target rpm may be programmed for consecutive
segments.
During the program, the program profile will show
your progress (see the drawing to the left).
The flashing segment of the profile represents the
current segment of the workout. The height of the
flashing segment indicates the resistance level for
the current segment.
When the first segment of the workout ends, the
target rpm and the resistance level for the second
segment will appear in the display for a few sec-
onds to alert you. The next segment of the profile
will begin to flash, and the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level for the next segment.
