4.4 MAXIMIZING WORKOUTS ON A LIFE FITNESS LIFECYCLE EXERCISE BIKE
SELECTING A LEVEL
The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bikes provide a selection of 25 intensity levels (26 levels with optional external power
supply). 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 Touchscreen 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%.
Workout Time Cool Down Time
1-4 minutes 1 minute

OMPATIBILITY
This compatibility makes it possible for iPod users to plug in and charge their iPods, control their iPod playlists from the
console and watch iPod-delivered video on the optional Attachable TV. Users can plug their headphones directly into the
equipment console while safely storing their player in the iPod holding tray.
VIRTUAL TRAINER
Created for beginners as well as the frequent fitness equipment user, the Virtual Trainer takes the intimidation out of
beginning a new workout and provides ongoing encouragement. With the push of a button, a male or female face
appears on the integrated LCD screen and advises the user on every aspect of the workout, from describing workout
programs and general product usage to updates on workout statistics including distance, calories and time.
USB C
ONNECTIVITY
Users can create and save workouts and personal settings, such as weight, goals and speed on any USB stick so that
they don’t have to enter the data again the next time they work out. This feature also enables users to track workout per-
formance by allowing them to save their workout results to the USB stick at the end of the workout.
ZOOM FEATURE
This feature enlarges the speed, level and time displays for easier viewing of data.
