Steady-Pace Training
For those who prefer steady-pace training, ItIs available on the Ufecycle~. It is
activated by the Manual key on the Display console and provides a steady, fIXed
level of pedal resistance. You can create your own program using the Manual
program simply by changing levels during the course of your ride. For example,
Ifyou are riding the Manual program at Level 4 and wish to increase the pedal
resistance, merely press a numbered key which is greater than 4. Likewise, you
can select a lower number.
J
Some exercise physiologists believe in the combined use of bQ!h steady-pace
and interval training. The HillProfile and Manual and Random programs of the
Ufecycle~ offer this variety. Ifour time is limited, however, we recommend that
you choose the HillProfile program because it can provide 60% greater
cardiorespiratory improvement per unit of time than steady-pace training.
Iffor some medical or physiological reason you have been advised to maintain a
steady heart rate while you are exercising, select the Manual program. It is easier
to maintain a consistent heart rate using the Manual mode than the HillProfile or
Random modes.
Also, if your goal is fat loss, you may wish to use the Manual program at a low
level of intensity and ride for a longer period of time at each exercise session.
See page 33 for instructions on how to operate the Ufecycle@Manual
program.
