WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS
QUICK START
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the specific steps of selecting a specific workout program.
After the QUICK START button (Touchscreen Display) is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins. For METs and Calories
Burned/Calories per Hour to be computed and displayed during a workout, select the ENTER WEIGHT FOR ACCURATE CALO-
RIES button which is required to calculate these values.
The resistance level is set by default. To change the level and stay in the Workout Progress Screen, press the illuminated ARROW
KEYS on the Control Panel, corresponding to the LEVEL button. The Intensity Level can also be changed by touching the LEVEL
button on the Touchscreen Display which accesses the NUMERIC KEYPAD.

MANUAL
The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level at any time.
RANDOM
The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million differ-
ent patterns are possible.

ROSS-TRAIN AEROBICS
During this workout, the Message Area displays prompts to emphasize different muscle groups. To emphasize upper-
body muscles, the Message Area displays prompts to focus on pushing and pulling the moving arms at various times. To
emphasize lower-body muscles, the Message Area displays prompts to rest the hands on the stationary handlebar, thus
forcing the legs to do all the work. The program also alternates between forward and reverse motion as well as different
speeds.
Ten seconds after prompting the user to change pedaling direction, the workout applies “braking resistance,” that is, a high
resistance level that essentially forces the user to stop pedaling. Once the user stops pedaling, the workout resumes the
normal resistance level. The actual level of braking resistance depends on the user’s pedaling speed. If the user is pedaling
at a rate equal to, or faster than 6.2 mph (10.0 km/h), the workout applies the maximum level of braking resistance. If the
user is pedaling at a speed below 6.2 mph (10.0 km/h), the workout applies 92 percent of the maximum.
C
ROSS-TRAIN REVERSE
This workout features alternating periods of pedaling forward and pedaling backwards. If the user chooses a workout dura-
tion 14 minutes or above, the unit displays alternating prompts to pedal forward for five minutes and then backward for two
minutes. If the user selects a goal of 13 minutes or below, the display prompts the user to pedal forward for two minutes and
then backward for one minute. If the user selects a goal other than time (distance or calorie), the program uses the default
setting of prompting forward motion for five minutes and reverse for two minutes.
This feature varies the emphasis on different leg muscles. Ten seconds after prompting the user to change pedaling direc-
tion, the workout applies “braking resistance,” that is, a high resistance level that essentially forces the user to stop pedaling.
Once the user stops pedaling, the workout resumes the normal resistance level. The actual level of braking resistance
depends on the user’s pedaling SPEED. If the user is pedaling at a rate equal to, or faster than, 6.2 mph (10.0 km/h), the
workout applies the maximum level of braking resistance. If the user is pedaling at a speed below 6.2 mph (10.0 km/h), the
workout applies 92 percent of the maximum.
