4.4 MAXIMIZING WORKOUTS ON A LIFE FITNESS LIFECYCLE EXERCISE BIKE
SELECTING A LEVEL
The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bikes provide a selection of 26 intensity levels. Each level represents a range of
resistance percentages. Selecting a low intensity level at first is recommended. As physical conditioning improves, the
levels can increase.
COOL DOWN
Life Fitness' unique cool down protocol automatically customizes every cool down based on each user's workout perfor-
mance. Workout performance factors, such level, duration, and heart rate, determine the duration and intensity of the
cool-down. Press the COOL DOWN key to enter the cool down stage at any point during the workout. The cool down time can
be changed by using the corresponding arrow keys on the Touch Screen Display. At the end of cool down, a workout summary
box appears. The chart below shows the cool down time for basic workouts. If the user chooses a heart rate workout, then the
cool down lasts 10 minutes or until the heart rate drops to 60%.
Workout Time Cool Down Time
1-4 minutes 1 minute
5-15 minutes 3 minutes
16-99 minutes 5 minutes
4.5 ADDITIONAL FEATURES
AUDIO CUES
Audio Cues alert users to stages of their workout. Note that audio events are disabled while the TVor FM radio features
are in operation. The manager may also disable Audio Cues through the Manager's Configuration screen (See Section
5.2 Manager’s Configuration 2, Audio Cues, for details).
• Startup Sound: Plays when a workout begins, such as when the Quick Start key is pushed or the workout
timer starts running on any other workout.
• Pause Sound: Plays when a workout is paused and when a paused workout resumes.
• Finish Sound: Plays when a workout enters the cool down phase, when a workout is complete, and when
the Workout Summary is displayed.
• Heartbeat Sound: Plays to prompt the user to grasp the contact heart rate sensors.
iPod COMPATIBILITY
This compatibility makes it possible for iPod users to plug in and charge their iPods and iPod nanos, control their iPod
playlists from the console and watch iPod-delivered video on the equipment's large LCD screen. Users can plug their
headphones directly into the equipment console while safely storing their player in the iPod holding tray.
VIRTUAL TRAINER
Created for beginners as well as the frequent fitness equipment user, the Virtual Trainer takes the intimidation out of
beginning a new workout and provides ongoing encouragement. With the push of a button, a male or female face
appears on the integrated LCD screen and advises the user on every aspect of the workout, from describing workout
programs and general product usage to updates on workout statistics including distance, calories and time.
USB CONNECTIVITY
Users can create and save workouts and personal settings, such as weight, goals and speed on any USB stick so that
they don’t have to enter the data again the next time they work out. This feature also enables users to track workout per-
formance by allowing them to save their workout results to the USB stick at the end of the workout.
ZOOM FEATURE
This feature enlarges the speed, level and time displays for easier viewing of data.
MEDIA CENTER
Allows the user to access TV controls when the TV is viewed in full screen. The media center will appear over the TV
picture. It will automatically close after 10 seconds of idle time.
