exercise bike. It is roughly equal to .25 calories per hour. The workout program automatically
alters the intensity level to maintain the appropriate rate of effort. By default, this workout is turned
off. For information on making it available, see Section 5, titled Optional Settings.

AEROBICS TRAINER
In this workout, the MESSAGE CENTER continuously prompts the user to switch between a high pedaling
speed and a low pedaling speed. These speed intervals alternate in a pattern that promotes a “build-up” in
the intensity of the workout, followed by a “build-down” in intensity.
The workout consists of 32 intervals, which are divided into groups of four. In the first group, the user
encounters one fast interval followed by three slow intervals. The second group features two fast intervals
followed by two slow intervals. The third group features three fast intervals followed by one slow interval.
The fourth group, which is the most intense point of the workout, features four fast intervals. Afterward, the
workout decreases in intensity, concluding with a group of four, conscutive, slow intervals. See the chart
below:
The length of the intervals depends on the workout duration selected by the user.
