The Calories Goal feature is designed to promote weight loss and weight control. The user sets a calorie goal during the workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a Cooldown Phase and ends afterward. To use this feature:
1.Select a workout (the calorie goal is available for any of the workouts.)
2.In the Goal Time setup screen, choose CALORIES, enter the desired calorie goal, and select
ENTER.
3.Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.
4.Begin the workout.
The Time in Zone goal enhances a heart rate workout by setting a certain duration within the tar- get 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 Cooldown Phase. To use the Time In Zone Goal feature:
1.Select either FAT BURN, CARDIO, or any of the Zone Training workouts including HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE.
2.In the Goal Time setup screen, choose TIME IN ZONE, 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 COOLDOWN at any time, to exit the workout and immediately enter a Cooldown Phase.
For help setting Time in Zone goals, consult a personal trainer. For more information on Heart Rate Zone Training, see Section 3.1 Why Heart Rate Zone Training?
SELECTING AND ADJUSTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL
When prompted, use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed intensity 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.
•Intensity level: The Lifecycle Exercise Bike provides a selection of 26 intensity levels (0 to 25). The Workout Profile Window displays the levels of intensity in a
•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 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.
*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a
FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be
26
