gram. The height of the flashing segment indicates
the resistance level for the current segment.
When the first segment of the program ends, the
resistance level and the target pace for the second
segment will appear in the center of the display for
a few seconds 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.
Profile

As you exercise,
you will be prompt-
ed to keep your
pedaling pace near
the target pace set-
ting for the current
segment. When an
upward arrow appears in the display, increase
your pace. When a downward arrow appears,
decrease your pace. When no arrow appears,
maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target pace settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the target pace set-
tings. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is com-
fortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the increase and decrease but-
tons. IMPORTANT: When the current segment of
the program ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level for the next seg-
ment.
The program will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the program at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
begin to flash in the display. To restart the program,
simply resume pedaling.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 12.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 13.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 13.

HOW TO PLAY THE FAT BLOCKER GAME
The Fat Blocker game requires quick thinking and fast
reflexes. In addition to the console buttons, you will
use the four-button game controllers on the handlebar
to play the game. Follow the steps below to play the
Fat Blocker game.
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, the display will light.
2. Select the Fat Blocker game.
To select the Fat Blocker game, press the Fitness
Games button repeatedly until the words FAT
BLOCKER appear at the top of the display.
3. Pedal to start the game.
When you start the Fat Blocker game, a game
arena will appear in the center of the display.
A block composed of four or five black squares will
slowly move downward until it reaches the bottom
of the arena. Another block will then move down-
ward. There are blocks of eight different shapes.
As each block falls, you can move it to the left or
right using the left and right buttons on the left
controller. In addition, you can rotate the block
counterclockwise or clockwise using the left and
right buttons on the right controller. Once you have
positioned and oriented a block, you can speed its
motion to the bottom of the arena, if desired, by
pressing the down button on either controller.
Your goal is to
maneuver the
blocks so that they
form a complete
row of black
squares across the
entire arena. Each
time you complete a row of black squares, the row
will disappear, and all blocks above will move
downward one row.
As you play, the blocks will fall faster and faster;
however, your pedaling pace will affect the speed
of the blocks—the faster you pedal, the more
slowly the blocks will fall, giving you extra time to
position and orient the blocks. The game will con-
tinue until any part of a stacked block reaches the
top of the arena.
When the game ends, the display will show your
final score and the level of play that you reached.
The display will then show the four highest scores
recorded since the scores were reset. If desired,
press and hold down the right button on either
controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is
one of the four highest, the display will prompt you
to enter a name consisting of three letters or dig-
its. While the line below the first letter is flashing,
press the up and down buttons on either controller
to select the desired letter or digit. Next, press the
right button on either controller and select another
letter or digit. Repeat this process to select a third
letter or digit. Then, press the right button on either
controller again. The display will then show the
four highest scores recorded since the scores
were reset.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
While you exercise and play the Fat Blocker game,
the corners of the display will show the elapsed
time, the approximate number of calories you have
burned, and your pedaling pace. In addition, the
display will show your current score and the game
level that you have reached.
To pause the game, press the Display button. To
resume the game, press the Display button repeat-
edly until the words FAT BLOCKER appear at the
top of the display, and then begin pedaling.
5. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 13.

HOW TO PLAY THE CALORIE DESTROYER GAME
The Calorie Destroyer game is a fast-paced game that
pits you against a squadron of laser-firing drones. In
addition to the console buttons, you will use the four-
button game controllers on the handlebar to play the
game. Follow the steps below to play the Calorie
Destroyer game.
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, the display will light.
2. Select the Calorie Destroyer game.
To select the Calorie Destroyer game, press the
Fitness Games button repeatedly until the word
DESTROYER appears at the top of the display.
3. Pedal to start the game.
When you start the Calorie Destroyer game, a
game arena will appear in the display. Three rows
of drones will begin to move across the top of the
arena, periodically firing their lasers downward.
Each time the drones reach the left or right side of
the arena, they will reverse direction and move
downward.
At the bottom of the arena is a laser blaster. You
can fire the laser blaster at the drones by pressing
the up button on either controller. In addition, while
you are pedaling, you can move the laser blaster
to the left or right using the left and right buttons
on either controller. The faster you pedal, the
faster the laser blaster will move.
Between the drones and the laser blaster are five
shields. You can hide the laser blaster below a
shield if desired. However, each time a shield is hit
by a laser, a piece will be vaporized.
Your goal is to keep the laser blaster from being
hit and to keep any drone from reaching the bot-
tom of the arena. If the laser blaster is hit, it will be
disabled and another laser blaster will appear in its
place; there are a total of four laser blasters. If you
vaporize the entire squadron of drones, a new
squadron will appear.
As you play, the drones will move faster and
faster. The game will continue until all four laser
blasters are disabled or a drone reaches the bot-
tom of the arena.
When the game ends, the display will show the
level of play that you reached and your final score.
The display will then show the four highest scores
recorded since the scores were reset. If desired,
press and hold down the right button on either
controller to reset the scores. Note: If your score is
one of the four highest, the display will prompt you
to enter a name consisting of three letters or dig-
its. While the line below the first letter is flashing,
press the up and down buttons on either controller
to select the desired letter or digit. Next, press the
right button on either controller and select another
letter or digit. Repeat this process to select a third
letter or digit. Then, press the right button on either
controller again. The display will then show the
four highest scores recorded since the scores
were reset.
4. Follow your progress with the display.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
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, exercising at the proper inten-
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses
carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-
utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise–never hold your breath.
Cooling down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your
muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
persons over the age of 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
