Workout view

Before you can start a workout, you will need to select a smart trainer from the device list.

You may also select a heart rate monitor at this stage.

Click on the devices to connect to it. By default, any devices previously connected will be automatically selected. This behaviour can be changed in the Settings screen.

Once connected, you can start the workout by clicking the Start button.

Workout Controls

The workout controls allow you to pause or resume, skip a step, skip a section or open the workout settings.

Steps are individual intervals within a workout.

Sections are groups of steps that are repeated together. Most workouts will have 3 sections, a warm-up, a workout and a cool-down.

Trainer Controls

By default, erg mode is selected for workouts. This means that the trainer will use the resistance of the workout to adjust the power level.

You can override this behaviour be selecting one of the resistance modes from the trainer controls from 10% to 100%.

To quickly set the resistance level, you can use the numbers on the keyboard, 1 to 0. 1 = 10%, 2 = 20%… 0 = 100%.

Workout Information

The workout information section shows the current workout progress, including time remaining, interval remaining time, total elapsed time.

It also shows the current power target, power level, cadence, speed and heart rate (if available).
