The easy-to-use console offers a manual mode and
three personal trainer programs that pace your exer-
cise for effective workouts. You can choose a stamina-
building interval program, an aerobic program, or a
special fat-burning program. To adjust the intensity of
your exercise, you can change the pedal resistance at
any time with a touch of a button. As you exercise,
you can watch your progress on the console display.
The display features six different modes:
Speed--When an arrowappears above the word
SPEED, the console will display your pedaling speed.
Time--When an arrowappears above the word TIME,
the console willdisplay the elapsed time. Note: When
a pace program is selected, the console will display
the time remaining in the program.
Distance---When an arrow appears above the word
DISTANCE, the console will display the distance you
have pedaled.
Fat Calories--When an arrow appears below the
words FATCALS, the console willdisplay the approxi-
mate number of fat ca/ones you have burned(see
BURNING FATon page 13).
Calodes--When an arrow appears below the word
CALORIES, the console willdisplay the approximate
number of caloriesyou have burned.
Scan--When an arrow appears below the word
SCAN, the console will display all of the information
above in a repeating cycle.
Pulse_When you use the pulse sensor, the console
will display your heart rate. (See step 6 on page 10.)
HOW THE PACE PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pace program, two
columns of bars will
appear in the dis-
play. The left col-
umn represents a
target pace and the = Target
right column shows
your actual pedal-
ing pace. The target pace will change periodically dur-
ing the program; as the target pace changes, simply
adjust your pedaling pace to keep both columns at the
same height.Important: The target pace is a goal
pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the tar-
get pace, especially during the first few months of
your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.

The three graphs
on the console
show how the
target pace will
change during the
programs. For
example, during the
aerobic program (program 2), the graph shows that the
target pace will gradually increase dudng the first half
of the program, and then gradually decrease during
the last half. Each program will last for twenty minutes.

STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
The innovative recumbent cycle requires no
batteries or external power source. Instead, power
is suppled by ageneratoras you pedal. Note: To
operate the resistancebuttons,you mustpedal at a
pace of about 30 revolutions per minute (rpm) or
faster.

To reset the display, press the reset button.
Change the pedal resistance as desired
To change the pedal resistance, press the resis-
tance +and -buttons. Important: You must
pedal at a pace of about 30 rpm or faster for
the resistance buttons to operate. If the pedal
resistance does not change when a resistance
button is pressed, the resistance may have
reached the maximum or minimum setting.
Note: When you finish exercising, the pedal resis-
tance will remain at the same setting until the
next workout.
mMeasure your heart rate if desired
Important: If there are thin sheets of plastic on
the metal contacts on the pulse sensor, remove
the plastic before using the pulse sensor.
To use the
pulse sensor,
place your
hands on the
metal contacts.
Your palms
must be rest-
ing on the front
contacts and
your fingers
must be touching the rear contacts. Avoid moving
your hands. After a moment, a heart-shaped indi-
cator in the display will begin to flash and your
heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate
reading, continue to hold the contacts for about
15 seconds.
Make sure that your handsare positioned as
descdbed, end that you are not movingyour
hands excessively or squeezing the metal con-
tacts too tightly.

B Turn off the console
To turn off the console, simply stop pedaling.
If the pedals are not moved, the console will turn
off automatically after one to two minutes.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
To adjust the pedal
straps, first pull the
straps offthe tabs
on the pedals.
Move the straps to
the desired posi-
tion and press the
straps back onto
the tabs.
HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE SEAT
For effective exercise,
the seat should be in Seat Tab Seat
the proper position. As
you pedal, there
should be aslight
bend in your knees
when the pedals are
the farthest away. To
adjust the seat, first lift
the seat tab in front of
the seat. Next, slide
the seat to the desired
position and release
the seat tab, Important: After you adjust the position
of the seat, make sure that your knees will not hit
the console when you pedal.
11

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the recumbent cycle
regularly. To clean the recumbent cycle, use a soft,
damp cloth. To prevent damage to the console, keep
liquids away from the console and keep the con-
sole out of direct sunlight.
PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen-
sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart
rate readings.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interferewith heart rate readings.
•For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 15 seconds.
• For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep
the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft cloth---never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
_i_ _r any eXerc,se
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and
adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
165 155 145 140 130 125 115
145 138 130 125 118 110 103
125 120 115 110 105 95 90 'B
20 30 40 50 60 70 80
To findthe proper heart rate for you, firstfind yourage
at the bottom ofthe chart (ages are rounded offto the
nearest ten years). Next, findthe three numbersabove
your age; the three numbersare your"training zone."
The lowestnumber isthe recommendedheart rate for
fat burning;the middle number is the recommended
heart rate for maximum fat burning;and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively,you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
Dudng the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calones for ener-
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If
your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-
ber or the middle number in your training zone as you
exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be "aerobic." Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and lightexercise.Aproperwarm-up increases your
bodytemperature, heart rate, and circulationin prepa-
rationfor exercise.
Training zone exercise, consistingof 20 to 30 min-
utesof exercisingwith yourheart rate in yourtraining
zone. (During the firstfew weeks of yourexercise pro-
gram, do not keep yourheart rate in yourtraining
zone for longerthan 20 minutes.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutesof stretching.This
willincrease the flexibilityof your musclesand will
help to preventpost-exerciseproblems.
EXERClSE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improveyourcondition,plan three work-
outs each week, with at leastone day of rest between
workouts.After a few monthsof regularexercise,you
may complete up to fiveworkoutseach week, if
desired.
The key to success ismake exercise a regularand
enjoyable part ofyour everyday life.
