4)PERSONAL TRAINER

Personal Trainer workouts are customized workouts designed either for the advanced user or to be used in connection with a personal trainer.

1)WATTS

This workout targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Watts. A Watt is a unit of power that measures the amount of mechanical work required to operate a device, such as a Lifecycle Recumbent Bike. It is roughly equal to .25 calories per hour. The workout program automatically alters the intensity level to maintain the appropriate rate of effort.

2) METS

This workout targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of METs. A MET is a unit of measure- ment used to express the metabolic rate of work (oxygen consumption per unit of body weight) required to perform a task. One MET is approximately equal to a person’s metabolism when seated and relaxed.

3)AEROBICS TRAINER

In this workout, the user is prompted to switch between a high pedaling speed and a low pedaling speed. These speed intervals alternate in a pattern that promotes a “build-up” in the intensity of the workout, followed by a “build-down” in intensity.

The workout consists of 32 intervals, which are divided into groups of four. In the first group, the user encounters one fast interval followed by three slow intervals. The second group features two fast intervals followed by two slow intervals. The third group features three fast intervals followed by one slow interval. The fourth group, which is the most intense point of the workout, features four fast inter- vals. Afterward, the workout decreases in intensity, concluding with a group of four, consecutive, slow intervals. See the chart below:
