Life Fitness 95CE operation manual Entering Workout Values, Selecting a Workout Mode

4)ENTERING WORKOUT VALUES

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

Lifecycle Upright 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: Select weight and press enter. Entering an accurate weight allows the program to dis- play METs. (If weight has been entered, METs toggle with WATTS on the Workout Progress Screen.)

GENDER: Select gender and press enter. (Only used for the Fitness Testing workouts)

5)SELECTING A WORKOUT MODE

All workouts on the Lifecycle Upright Bike default to a Constant-Calories-Per-Hour Mode. The Bike Mode provides another option for varying workouts. The Bike Mode is accessed on the Workout Progress Screen under Mode. NOTE: Bike Mode is not available on any of the heart 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. To select Bike mode, press BIKE MODE button.

•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 resis- tance level automatically decreases. As the pedaling speed decreases, the resistance level automatically increases. This mode can be used with all workouts.

To change modes during a workout:

1.Select any program that does NOT require a heart rate measurement.

2.Set up the program through the setup screens.

3.Begin the workout.

4.On the workout progress screen, beneath Mode, choose BIKE MODE. The message area displays the message, “Bike Mode — Resistance is independent of RPM.”

5.Continue the workout.

6.To change back to Constant Calories per hour, choose the Constant Cals/HR button at any point. The message area displays the message, “Constant Cals/Hr — Resistance will vary with RPM.”

†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 workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.
