4.4MAXIMIZING 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%.
