The Pace Goal feature is designed to allow the user to set the pace of a workout. The user sets a pace goal during the work- out setup. The user can track whether his or her pace is ahead, behind, or on target with his or her desired pace. A visual rep- resentation of the user’s pace is shown. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase and ends afterward. A pace readout is displayed at the left of the screen showing numeric feedback regarding the user’s progress relating to the selected pace. To use this feature:

1.Select a workout.

2.In the Goal Time setup screen, choose MORE, select PACE, enter the desired pace goal, and select ENTER.

3.For Units, choose either ENGLISH (to set a pace speed in miles/time) or METRIC (to set a pace speed in kilometers/time).

4.Enter the distance and time of the workout.

5.The console will calculate the pace the user must maintain to finish the workout in the desired time.

6.Select ENTER to approve the displayed pace or reenter the chosen time and distance.

7.Begin the workout.

The Time in Zone Goal program enhances a workout by setting a certain duration within the target heart rate* as a workout goal. The program automatically alters the resistance to maintain a pace that will meet that objective within that duration. Once the objective is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase. To use the Time In Zone Goal feature:

1.Select a workout.

2.In the Goal Time setup screen, choose TIME IN ZONE (some workouts require the user to choose the MORE option first), enter the desired amount of time, and select ENTER.

3.Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.

4.Begin the workout.

NOTE: Time in Zone is directly correlated to fitness level. Since the program will continue to increase resistance until the goal is met, it may be wise to start low and work towards a higher goal. Choose COOL DOWN at any time, to exit the workout and immediately enter a cool down phase.

For help setting TIME IN ZONE goals, consult a personal trainer. For more information on Heart Rate Zone Training, see Section 3.1 titled Why Heart Rate Zone Training?

RESISTANCE LEVEL

The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike provides several different ways to adjust the resistance level of a workout. When prompted, use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed resistance level or target heart rate* to the desired value, or choose the desired value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and press ENTER. Adjust the level as needed or desired during the workout.

•Resistance level: The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bikes provide a selection of 26 resistance levels. The resistance 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 increase.

TARGET HEART RATE

•Target heart rate: Programs that calculate a target heart rate* base this number on the age of the user and the type of work- out. 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 Polar heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors; and it uses this data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate increases the intensity of the cardiovascular exercise.

4)ENTERING WORKOUT VALUES

AGE: When prompted to enter Age, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed age to the correct value, or key in the correct value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and press ENTER.

Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike workout programs that set a target heart rate* zone first calculate the user’s theoretical maximum heart 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.

WEIGHT: In order for METs to be displayed, an accurate weight must be entered.

GENDER: Select gender and press ENTER. (Used for the Fit Test).

†Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as 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 THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This work- out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117
