WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS (CON'T)

QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. The intensity level for the workout is set automatically and remains the same unless manually changed. To change the level and stay in the Workout Progress screen, press the UP or DOWN ARROW KEYS on the Control Panel, corresponding to the LEVEL but- ton. Level can also be changed by touching the LEVEL button on the Touchscreen Display, and then changing the level using the arrow buttons or the numeric keypad and pressing ENTER.

For METs to be displayed during a workout, select the ENTER WEIGHT button which is required to calculate this value. (If weight is entered METs will toggle with WATTS on the display.) Using the ARROW KEYS, increase or decrease the displayed weight to the correct value, or enter weight using the NUMERIC keypad, and press ENTER to register.

MANUAL

The MANUAL program sets an intensity level that does not change automatically. While the workout is in progress, increase or lower the intensity level as desired, using the arrow keys.

RANDOM

The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million different patterns are possible.

FAT BURN

The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoreti- cal maximum† for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a Polar heart rate chest strap or grips the Lifepulse system sensors. If the user is not wearing a chest strap or grasping the sensors, the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a heart shape, and the display prompts the user to grip the sensors. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the Lifecycle Recumbent Bike to reach and maintain the tar- get*. This system eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel.

CARDIO

The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate** is cal- culated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum. The user wears a chest strap or grips the Lifepulse system sensors.The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.

†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 (HRmax). A 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117, or 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65 = 117.

**Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the CARDIO workout is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80 = 144.
