Life Fitness 9100 Exercise Bike User Manual


 
K WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights,
that represent the levels of intensity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the column
furthest to the left is proportional to the current level of the intensity.
During a FAT BURN, CARDIO HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or
EXTREME HEART RATE workout, which requires the use of a Polar heart rate chest strap,
the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a heart shape to request the users heart rate
signal. If the console does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt,
NEED HEART RATE - USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the sig-
nal within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a MANUAL program.
L MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a work-
out. During a workout, it displays statistics about the progress of the workout:
Level: the selected intensity level; alternates with Heart Rate.
Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the Polar heart rate chest
strap; alternates with Level.
Distance: the total distance traveled.
RPM (Revolutions Per Minute): the pedaling speed or rate.
Calories: the number of calories burned since beginning the workout; alternates with
Time.
Time: the number of time elapsed since beginning the workout; alternates with Calories.
If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays other values each time the intensity
level changes during the workout:
Calories per Hour: the rate of calories burned per hour.
OR
Watts: effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the
mechanical rate of work.
METs: effort level in METs. The MET is an expression of the rate of work for the human
body at rest, or a metabolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabo-
lism of a person at rest.
See Chapter 5, titled Internal Settings for information about enabling the MESSAGE CENTER to
display these additional settings.
M BIKE MODE: Press this key to activate the Bike workout mode in which the rate of calories
burned and the total distance travelled increase automatically as the user increases the
pedaling speed.
N CONSTANT CAL./HOUR: Press this key to activate this alternate workout mode, which
enables a user to maintain a consistent rate of calories burned per hour.
For more information about Bike Mode and Constant Calories Per Hour Mode, see the topic
Using the Two Workout Modes in Section 4.2, titled, the Using the Workouts.
