4.1WORKOUT OVERVIEWS

The following workouts are pre-programmed for the Lifecycle Bike.

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a constant-level workout begins. The intensity level does not change automatically.

MANUAL is a constant effort workout in which the user can change the intensity level at any time.

RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of calories from fat. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously. The program adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65% of the theoretical maximum.

CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardiovascular benefits and total calories burned. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously. The program adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80% of the theoretical maximum.

HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise.

HEART RATE HILLTM takes the user through three different hills based on the target heart rate. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously.

HEART RATE INTERVALTM alternates between a hill and a valley based on the target heart rate. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously.

EXTREME HEART RATE TM is an intense workout for more experienced users. It is designed to get the heart rate up and down as quickly as possible. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously.

SPORT TRAINING simulates an outdoor terrain by setting various resistance levels.

EZ RESISTANCE features a gradual, subtle increase in resistance, independent of the user’s pedaling speed. A peak in resistance is followed by an equally subtle decrease in resistance.
