ENTERING AGE

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter age, use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed age to the correct value, and press ENTER.

Lifecycle Exercise Bike workout programs that set a target heart rate zone first calculate the user’s theoretical maximumheart rate by subtracting the user’s age from the number 220. The programs then calculate the target zone as a percentage of the theoretical maximum.

ENTERING TIME

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter a time, use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed time to the desired value.

SELECTING AND ADJUSTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL

When prompted by the message center, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed intensity level or target heart rate* to the desired value and press ENTER. Adjust the level as needed or desired during the workout.

Intensity level: The Lifecycle Exercise Bike provides a selection of 20 intensity levels. The intensity level appears in the Workout Profile window as columns of lights. Selecting a low intensity level at first is recommended. As physical conditioning improves, the levels can be increased.

Target heart rate: Exercise bike programs that calculate a target heart rate base this number on the age of the user and the type of workout. The user accepts or adjusts the rate when setting up the workout. During the workout itself, the program reads the heart rate, which is transmitted via the Lifepulse Sensors (C9i only) or the chest strap; and it uses this data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate increases the intensity of the cardiovascular exercise.

Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine’s "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as being equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.

*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the HEART RATE HILL workout is 144. The HEART RATE HILL workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
