5.2ABOUT PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS
Fitness club managers and other authorized personnel can create up to six custom workouts for the Lifecycle exercise bike, using the display console. Options include custom interval heart rate and hill workouts.
Interval heart rate: The trainer can design a workout that sets a different target heart rate for each interval and adjusts the resistance to the user's heart rate.
Hill: The trainer can create a custom hill workout that sets a different intensity level for each interval.
Once PERSONAL TRAINER workouts are created, users can access them with the PERSON- AL TRAINER key. Each workout is identified by a numeral, from 1 to 6. See Section 4, titled The Workouts.
TO CREATE A PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT
When the console is activated, hold down the COOL DOWN button, and press the PERSONAL TRAINER button simultaneously.
Using the ARROW keys, scroll to, and select, the “PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT ENTRY” option, and press ENTER. (If the alternate option, “ERASE PERSONAL TRAINER WORK- OUTS”, is selected, the computer deletes setup information for all PERSONAL TRAINER work- outs, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays "PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS ERASED". Then, the MESSAGE CENTER displays "PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT ENTRY").
Select a number, from 1 to 6, to identify the new workout. Use the NUMERIC keypad or the ARROW keys. Then, press ENTER.
If a PERSONAL TRAINER workout already has been created for that number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to either modify the workout or proceed to another number. Pressing the CLEAR key overwrites the previously created workout, making it possible to create a new work- out for that number. Pressing ENTER bypasses the number and proceeds to another number.
If a PERSONAL TRAINER workout has not been created for a selected number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt, "BEGIN PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT CREATION".
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to enter a duration time for the entire workout. Using the NUMERIC keypad, enter a duration and press ENTER.
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select the workout type. Options are “TARGET HEART RATE PERCENTAGE” or “LEVEL”. The latter type is for custom hill workouts. Use the ARROW keys to toggle between the options, and press ENTER to select one of them.
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select a target heart rate or an intensity level for the first interval, depending on the type of workout chosen in an earlier step. Use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad. A PERSONAL TRAINER workout consists of 30 intervals, so the length of each interval is equal to the workout duration value divided by 30. After entering the value, press ENTER. Repeat this set of steps for each of the following 29 intervals. To keep the preceding value for the current interval, simply press ENTER.
At the end of this setup, the MESSAGE CENTER displays “PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT COMPLETED”. Afterward, the MESSAGE CENTER displays “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START”. The new PERSONAL TRAINER workout is ready to use.
