4.2USING THE WORKOUTS
Different Bike workouts require different setup steps. See the chart at the end of this section for a quick glance at the steps for setting up any workout program. This section provides details on the steps themselves.
TO BEGIN A WORKOUT
Start pedaling and press START, or simply start pedaling 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 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.
SELECTING A WORKOUT
For all workouts: When prompted to select a workout, use the ARROW KEYS or WORKOUTS PLUS key to scroll through the workout names as they appear in the MESSAGE CENTER. When the desired workout appears, press ENTER.
For MY WORKOUTS, once a workout is configured and saved, no further setup steps are necessary. For more informa- tion, see Section 4.4, titled Using My Workouts Personal Programs.
ENTERING WEIGHT
When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter weight, use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed weight to the correct value and press ENTER. The default weight is 150 pounds or 68 kilograms.
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.
Life Fitness Bike workout programs that set a target heart rate zone first calculate the user’s theoretical maximum heart rate. The HRmax equals 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age. The programs then calculate the tar- get 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 and press ENTER.
