Program Category:
Manual:
Manual control mode changes workload in 10-watt increments. e workload stays the
same at any pedal cadence (called constant power control) unless you drop below 55 rpm. Below 55
rpm, workload is reduced along with pedal cadence, to prevent the sensation of the pedals “locking
up.”
Pre-Set Programs:
Several different pre-set programs are available:
• Random: A random series of increasing and decreasing WORKLOAD changes thoughout a
workout.
• Cardio Challenge: WORKLOAD increases to a set maximum for an optimal cardio workout
at the mid-point of the workout, then decreases to the finish.
• Fat Burn: WORKLOAD increases to a set maximum for an optimal fat burn at the mid-point
of the workout, then decreases to the finish.
• Hill Workouts: A series of increasing and decreasing WORKLOAD changes that simulate
hills.
• Sixteen different levels are available to change the difficulty of a pre-set workout. e work-
load intensities expand and contract depending on the level.
HRC (Heart Rate Control) Workouts
• Cruise Control: while in any workout, set your current heart rate as your target heart rate by
pressing a single key.
