TC6000 PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The GRID AREA will show a sketch of the Bridge. Each column of the Bridge is equal to 0.02 miles.
CUSTOM INTERVALS
This program is similar to the Intervals program, but it allows you to also set the TIME for the LOW SPEED period, and a
separate TIME for the HIGH SPEED period. (30 seconds to 2 minutes). You also can set the number of intervals you wish
to perform.
Custom Intervals are saved “per user” which means that, the TC6000 console will save a custom interval profile for each
user.
When you are performing the CUSTOM INTERVALS PROGRAM, you may adjust the LOW SPEED and the HIGH SPEED
during the program. If you are in a HIGH SPEED column of the program, and you press the + key, this will increase all of
the HIGH SPEED columns.
CUSTOM PROFILE PROGRAMS
Each User can create and store 2 Custom Profiles and you can store them as you are doing the exercise.
The CUSTOM programs are very similar to the MANUAL PROGRAM, you create a profile as you go. The only addition is
with the CUSTOM profile, your profile is saved for you to repeat.
The first time you use the CUSTOM ONE program (OR CUSTOM TWO) you will be creating your custom profile. This
profile will be automatically stored as CUSTOM ONE. The next time through CUSTOME ONE, you will simply follow the
profile that you created. If you wish to change the profile press the + or – key to change your speed.
Begin by selecting the CUSTOM ONE program. The console will prompt you to ENTER your LEVEL, your current WEIGHT
and Exercise TIME.
The program will now begin at a low speed. The MESSAGE BAR prompts you to select the “SPEED” for that column. Use
the + and - keys to select the speed you wish.
After 30 seconds, the “profile” will shift to the left. The speed will still be the same as you set in the first column. If you
wish to change the speed, you can, or you can leave it the same. Remember, this is just like exercising in the MANUAL
PROGRAM. The time for each “column” in the grid is 30 seconds, then the profile will shift.
This will continue until the TIME has counted down to 00:00. Then the Program goes into the RESULTS MODE.
To see the profile that you have created, press the STOP key and the display will now prompt you to “SELECT CUSTOM
ONE.” In the GRID AREA, you will see the profile you have just created. This profile will be saved until you overwrite it.

FITNESS TEST
The Bowflex® Fitness Test gives you a more advanced way to measure your Fitness Results. This program measures
how hard you are working (based on your heart rate).
The Bowflex® Fitness Test is a “sub max” test, which means that the test does not ask you to go to your maximum level.
Secondly, the score generated by this test is only a “relative” number. It is not meant to be compared with someone
else’s score. The purpose of this number is to give you an initial “baseline” of your fitness level. As you train over a
period of time on the TC6000, your score should improve. This means that your fitness level has improved from where
you started.
Bowflex recommends that you take the Fitness Test as soon as you feel comfortable exercising on the TC6000, and we
also recommend that you take the test often; once a week, or as a warm up to your exercise program.
