5)SELECTING A WORKOUT MODE

All workouts on the Lifecycle Recumbent 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 work- outs.

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.

This mode can be used with all workouts.

2.Set up the program through the setup screens.

3.Begin the workout.
