Using the Workouts | Life Fitness Exercise Bike specification

MY WORKOUTS is not a workout program but a feature that allows the user to pre-set up to seven workouts with personal setup information, such as age or level, and then store the workouts in the console memory. These workouts are accessed with an ARROW key.

The following workouts (available on the C9i only) are accessed by pressing the WORKOUTS PLUS key:

AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical areas.

FOOT HILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.

KILIMANJARO is a HILL workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then gradually decline.

INTERVAL is a HILL workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a peak and then gradually decline.

CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.

SPEED TRAINING is a HILL workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low settings very quickly to simulate a typical speed-training workout.

WATTS (when enabled) targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Watts

METS (when enabled) targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of METs.

AEROBICS TRAINER is a varied workout in which the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts at different times to change pedaling speeds.

4.2USING THE WORKOUTS

TO BEGIN ANY WORKOUT

Check and adjust seat height and pedal strap tightness. Get on the bike, and simply start pedaling (C9i); or start pedaling, and press the START key (C7i) to activate the console. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt: SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR PRESS QUICK START. If it displays a different message, press the CLEAR key twice rapidly.

SELECTING AND USING QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. At the MESSAGE CENTER prompt to select a workout, press the QUICK START key. The workout begins at an intensity level that remains the same unless manually changed.
