correct value, or key in the correct value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and press ENTER.
Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike workout programs that set a target heart rate* zone first calculate the user’s theoreti-
cal maximum heart rate
†
by subtracting the user’s age from the number 220. The programs then calculate the target
zone as a percentage of the theoretical maximum.
WEIGHT: In order for METs to be displayed, an accurate weight must be entered.
GENDER: Select gender and press ENTER. (Used for the Fit Test.)
5) SELECTING A WORKOUT MODE
To change modes, press the CHANGE WORKOUT key and then press CHANGE MODE.
• Bike Mode: This workout mode simulates the experience of riding a real bicycle. The rate of calories burned
and total distance travelled increase as the user increases the pedaling speed. This mode can be used with all
workouts, except for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME
HEART RATE.
• Constant-Calories-Per-Hour Mode: This workout mode enables a user to maintain a consistent rate of calories
burned per hour. As the pedaling speed increases, the resistance level automatically decreases. As the pedaling
speed decreases, the resistance level automatically increases. This mode can be used with all workouts.
If the user selects a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE
workout during the setup, the default mode is Constant-Calories-Per-Hour. For all other workouts, the default mode is
Bike. The user may select or change a mode during a workout setup or during a workout.
• Marathon Mode. A Marathon Mode button will appear in the time entry screen when configuring a workout.
Selecting Marathon Mode sets the workout to an unlimited time workout. The workout can then be ended only
by the user.
6) CHANGING/ENDING A WORKOUT
SWITCHING WORKOUTS “ON-THE-FLY”
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 workouts “on the fly,” simply press CHANGE WORKOUT

PAUSING WORKOUTS
There are two ways a user can pause a workout: press the PAUSE key or stop pedaling. If a user presses the PAUSE
key, a RESUME WORKOUT button and EXIT button appear on the Touchscreen. Continue the workout by selecting
RESUME. The pause duration is set to one minute. After one minute in pause mode, the paused workout exits to the
workout summary screen. From pause mode, the user can end the workout by selecting EXIT. The user may stop pedal-
ing to pause a workout. To continue a workout, the user must resume pedaling within the one minute pause duration.

Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent
of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117
