This bike tells you how many miles you've ridden after each session, the program tells you your average speed during each session, the program also tells you your heart rate and the amount of calories burned after each session. You can set the bike program for either beginner's workout, or set the bike's program for a professional severe workout. The exercise bike is compact and very well built. I bought it to loose thirty (30) pounds. Which I lost setting the bike program at a moderate setting (#4) and riding the bike one mile a day. Which takes roughly four (4) minutes a day. The bike also can be operated using 110 electrical or by using the battery pack. The bike has a fully adjustable comfortable seat and a plug in for listening to CD's while you exercise.
