HOW TO USE A PRESET WORKOUT
1. Turn on the console.
   Press any button or begin pedaling to turn on the 
console. 
   When you turn on the console, the displays will turn 
on, a tone will sound, and the console will be ready 
for use.
2. Select a preset workout.
  When you select a Recumbent preset workout, 
you must adjust the hybrid trainer to the recumbent 
bike mode for the console to provide accurate feed-
back (see HOW TO USE THE RECUMBENT BIKE 
MODE on page 17).
  When you select an Elliptical preset workout, 
you must adjust the hybrid trainer to the elliptical 
mode for the console to provide accurate feedback 
(see HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL MODE on 
page 16).
   To select a preset workout, 
press the Elliptical Workouts 
or Recumbent Workouts 
button repeatedly until 
the number of the desired 
workout appears in the lower 
display. The duration of the 
workout will appear in the center display. 
3. Start the workout.
   Begin pedaling to start the workout.
  Each workout is divided into one-minute segments. 
One resistance level and one target speed are 
programmed for each segment. Note: The same 
resistance level and/or target speed may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments.
   At the end of each segment of the workout, a 
series of tones will sound. The resistance level for 
the next segment will appear in the upper display 
for a few seconds to alert you. The resistance of 
the pedals will then change.
   The speed meter will 
show two flashing bars 
that represent the target 
speed zone for the seg-
ment; the target speed 
zone includes a range of 
speeds that are within a 
few RPMs of the target 
speed for the segment. The solid bars represent 
your actual pedaling speed.
   As you exercise, keep your pedaling speed within 
the target speed zone for the current segment by 
increasing or decreasing your pedaling speed or 
by increasing or decreasing the resistance of the 
pedals.
  IMPORTANT: The target speed is intended only 
to provide motivation. Make sure to pedal at a 
speed and a resistance level that is comfortable 
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 Resistance buttons. 
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the 
workout ends, the pedals will automatically 
adjust to the resistance level programmed for 
the next segment.
   If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series of 
tones will sound and the workout will pause. 
   To restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. 
The workout will continue until the last segment of 
the workout ends. 
4. Follow your progress with the displays.
   See step 4 on page 19.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
   See step 5 on page 20.
6.   When you are finished exercising, the console 
will turn off automatically.
  See step 6 on page 20.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
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 stretch-
ing 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 stretch-
ing. 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.
    WARNING: Before beginning this 
or any exercise program, consult your physi-
cian. This is especially important for persons 
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing 
health problems.
The heart rate monitor is not a medical device. 
Various factors may affect the accuracy of 
heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is 
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move\
 slowly as you stretch; never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from 
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down 
toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. 
Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward 
you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach 
toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. 
Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and 
groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands 
against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on 
the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward 
the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. 
To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back 
leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one 
foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as \
possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. 
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. 
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15
