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 Bike provides a selection of 20 intensity levels. The intensity level appears in the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rows of lights arranged in columns. Selecting a low intensity level at first is recommended. As physical conditioning improves, the levels can be increased.

•Target heart rate: 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 heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors; it uses this data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate increases the intensity of the cardiovascular ex- ercise.

SELECTING A WORKOUT MODE

Two workout mode options on the Lifecycle exercise bike feature alternate ways to vary workouts.

•Bike Mode: This workout mode simulates the experience of riding a real bicycle. The rate of calories burned and total distance travelled increase automatically as the user increases the pedaling speed. This mode can be used with all workouts, except for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, EXTREME HEART RATE, WATTS, METS, FIT TEST, and AIR FORCE PRT. To select Bike mode, press the BIKE MODE key.

•Constant-Calories-Per-Hour Mode: This workout mode enables a user to maintain a consistent rate of calories burned per hour. As the pedaling speed increases, the resistance level automatically decreases. As the pedaling speed decreases, the resistance level automatically increases. This mode can be used with all workouts. To se- lect it, press the CONSTANT CAL./HR. key.

If the user selects a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, EXTREME HEART RATE, WATTS, METS, FIT TEST, or AIR FORCE PRT workout during the setup, the default mode is Constant-Calories-Per- Hour. For all other workouts, the default mode is Bike. The user may select or change a mode during a workout setup or during a workout.

SWITCHING WORKOUTS “ON-THE-FLY”

It is possible, during a workout, to switch to another workout program. After a switch, the console retains all the progress information about the workout since its beginning. To change workouts “on the fly,” simply press the CHANGE WORKOUT key for the desired new workout. This feature is available for all workouts except for AROUND THE WORLD, KILIMAN- JARO, INTERVAL, CASCADES, SPEED TRAINING, FOOTHILLS, FIT TEST and AIR FORCE PRT workouts.

PAUSING WORKOUTS

To pause a workout, simply stop pedaling. To resume, resume pedaling and press the ENTER key when prompted TO CONTINUE WORKOUT.

ENDING WORKOUTS EARLY

To end a workout before the pre-set duration expires, press CLEAR once. The MESSAGE CENTER then displays a workout summary, which includes the distance travelled, the total calories burned, and other statistics. Press CLEAR a second time and the MESSAGE CENTER displays “SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR PRESS QUICK START” for a new work- out.
