In addition to manual and program modes, the 700 series cycle includes features to make

workouts more enjoyable and useful: group races let users compete against each other, while

solo races or a calorie goal setting can help you get the maximum benefit from your workout.

You use all of these options, or the fitness test feature, by pressing the Advanced Options

button.

Setting a Calorie Goal

If it's important to you to burn a certain number of calories during your workout, the calorie

goal option is for you. With this feature, the 700C Cycle and 700R Recumbent Cycle sets the

pedaling level so you burn the number of calories you want in the time you have allotted.

During a calorie goal program, the 700C Cycle and 700R Recumbent Cycle is in exercise

mode; if you change your pedaling speed, it will change the resistance to keep your workload

constant. To set a calorie goal:

1. Get on the 700 series cycle

and start pedaling to activate

the console.

2. Press the Advanced

Options key. If you press a

key somewhere else on the

console, an arrow will point

toward the program keys,

instructing you to select one.

The top display should read

"Calorie Goal." If it doesn't,

press Advanced Options until it does, then press Enter.

3. The display will show the default workout length. You can change this using the up

and down arrow keys, or use the keypad to type the number of minutes you want to work

out. If you try to enter a time longer than the maximum for the 700 series cycle, it won’t

accept your entry. Press Enter.

4. Set the number of calories you want to burn during the workout. Either type the

number or use the arrow keys to raise or lower the value shown.

5. Press Start.

The 700C Cycle and 700R Recumbent Cycle calculates the level you'll need to reach your

calorie goal in the time you've entered. It ramps up to this level, then keeps you there for the

duration of the workout. You can change your calorie goal during the workout; the 700C Cycle

and 700R Recumbent Cycle will adjust the level to match.

The level display shows your calorie goal. During the workout, you can adjust this by pressing

the arrow keys and entering a new goal. The rest of the display is as described in "The

Workout Display" in Chapter 3.
