COMPUTERIZED PROGRAM

Three computerized programs are available on your Lifecycle@:

The Hill Profile Program

The Random Program

The Manual Program

The Hill Profile Program

The Lifecycle@ aerobic trainer's patented Hill Profile program (See Figure 4 on page 24) offers the ideal configuration for interval training. The Hill Profile program is available in various durations from 1 to 24 minutes. You can select rides of 1, 2, 3. 4, 5, 6. 12. 18 and 24 minutes. Each Hill Profile program is comprised of four periods: 1) Warm-Up, 2) Test, 3) Interval Training, and 4) Cool-Down.

the last 1/3. The last 1/3 of this exercise period gradually reduces your heart rate to the lower end of your THRR. It also allows your body to begin removing accumulated end products of exercise, such as lactic acid, which tend to build-up in muscles during your workout and contribute to muscle soreness.

An integral part of the end product dissipation process is the period of rapid pedaling (100 RPM) midway throughout the cool-sown period mentioned above. A small flashing "light" to the left on the Pedal RPM Window on the display console signals you to increase from 80 RPM to 100 RPM and then to resume 80 RPM again.
