Life Fitness Exercise Bike 4.3 W

Two workout mode options on the Lifecycle Exercise Bike feature altern ate ways to vary workouts.

• Bike Mode: This workout mode simulates the experience of riding a r eal bicycle. The rate of calories

burned and total distance traveled increase automatically as the user i ncreases the pedaling speed. This

mode can be used with all workouts, except for the Heart Rate Zone Training + workouts: FAT BURN,

CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE. To select Bike

mode, press BIKE MODE key.

• Constant-Calories-Per-Hour Mode: This workout mode enables a user to m aintain a consistent rate of

calories burned per hour. As the pedaling speed increases, the res istance level automatically decreases.

As the pedaling speed decreases, the resistance level automaticall y increases. This mode can be used

with all workouts. To select it, press the CONSTANT CAL./HR. key.

If the user selects a Heart Rate Zone Training+ workout during the setup, the d efault mode is Constant-Calories-

Per-Hour. For all other workouts, the default mode is Bike. The user m ay select or change a mode during a workout

setup or during a workout.

It is possible, during a workout, to switch to another workout program. After a switch, the console retains all the

progress information about the workout since its beginning. To change wor kouts “on the fly,” press the CHANGE

WORKOUT key. The MESSAGE CENTER then displays a prompt to keep pr essing this key to scroll through

workout options. Press the key repeatedly until the MESSAGE CENTER disp lays the desired workout. Then, press

ENTER.

To pause a workout, press the PAUSE key. To continue the workout, press the PAUSE key again. Pause mode

essentially suspends the current workout, holding its statistics i n memory, and allowing the user to pedal at zero-

level resistance. If the user stops pedaling, however, the console autom atically shuts down, and the workout

information is erased.

The C9i model’s Infinite Pause feature allows the user to stop pedalin g and still retain the current workout

information. The console shuts down, but the information is stored in m emory. When the console is activated again,

the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to continue the paused work out. To do so, press ENTER. To begin a

new workout, press CLEAR.

To end a workout before the pre-set duration expires, press CLEAR once. The MESSAGE CENTER then displays

a workout summary, which includes the distance travelled, the total c alories burned, and other statistics. Press

CLEAR a second time, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays SELECT W ORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR

PRESS QUICK START for a new workout.
