1. Higher speeds require much more work than lower 20 mph for example takes three times as much effort as 10 mph At high speeds you can stop pedaling temporarily and coast just as on a real bicycle e In exercise mode the level you set determines the amount of work you do when you pedal If you change your pedaling speed BikeMax adjusts the resistance so you are doing the same amount of work If you want to do more or less work you change the setting not your pedaling speed This lets BikeMax control the amount of work you are doing at any time so you get the maximum benefit from the various programs If you slow your pedaling speed below 40 RPM BikeMax decreases the resistance and workload This is necessary so you can begin pedaling from a stop Also you can reach the highest work level only at high pedaling speeds In summary in manual mode and during races you are in bicycle mode changing the level setting changes the resistance on the pedals just like shifting gears on a real bike During programs you are in exercise mode changing the level changes your total workload BikeMax adjusts the resistance on the pedals to keep the work constant if you change pedaling speeds Your Workout There are two basic ways to use BikeMax in manual mode or using one of the preset workout programs The following sections tell you how to use each of these modes BikeMax s advanced features races and goal setting are covered i2.
