PROGRAM MODES

The E300 offers various program modes including a Quick-Start Mode, 6 Preset Program Modes, and two User Profile Modes.

MOUNTAIN

This program takes the user gradually up to a high resistance level, then brings the resistance level back down to the starting point. This program simulates what one might encounter on a true mountain course. This is a difficult program since higher tension levels are maintained for long periods of time.

HILL

This program takes the user through two hill profiles. Resistance changes are small during this program. This is a good program to get started with or for someone looking for a lower stress workout.

RANDOM

This program randomly generates a new program profile every time it is chosen. This allows you to keep the workouts fresh and motivating. When you scroll thru the programs to reach the RANDOM program, you will be able to see the program profile. If this profile is not to your liking, simply scroll thru the programs again and a new RANDOM program will be generated. The RANDOM program will be different every time you use it.

INTERVAL

This program simulates interval training through a series of two hill profiles.

INTERVAL MOUNTAIN

This program simulates interval training thru a difficult mountain profile.

INTERVAL SPEED TRAINING

This program simulates interval training with more extreme levels of high and low intensity levels.

TWO USER PROFILES:

User Profiles U1 and U2 allow you to customize and save an exercise session.

Heart Rate Monitor

The E300 comes equipped with Heart Rate Contacts. The Heart Rate Contacts send your heart rate information to the console for processing. To measure Heart Rate, your hands need to firmly grasp the entire area of the Heart Rate Contact Sensors on both sides of the handlebar.

The most common method for calculating your target heart rate is to find your maximum heart rate.

The standard formula for this is: 220 - your age = Maximum Heart Rate You DO NO T want to workout at your maximum heart rate. You want to workout in your target heart rate zone. Your target heart rate zone is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. The American Heart Association recommends working out at a target heart rate zone of between 60% - 75% of your maximum heart rate.
