SELECTING A WORKOUT MODE
Two workout mode options on the Lifecycle Exercise Bike feature alternate ways to vary workouts.
• Bike Mode: This workout mode simulates the experience of riding a real bicycle. The rate of calories
burned and total distance traveled increase automatically as the user increases the pedaling speed. This
mode can be used with all workouts, except for the Heart Rate Zone Training+ workouts: FAT BURN,
CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE. To select Bike
mode, press BIKE MODE key.
• 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. To select it, press the CONSTANT CAL./HR. key.
If the user selects a Heart Rate Zone Training+ 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.
SWITCHING WORKOUTS “ON-THE-FLY” (C9i ONLY)
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,” press the CHANGE
WORKOUT key. The MESSAGE CENTER then displays a prompt to keep pressing this key to scroll through
workout options. Press the key repeatedly until the MESSAGE CENTER displays the desired workout. Then, press
ENTER.
PAUSING WORKOUTS
To pause a workout, press the PAUSE key. To continue the workout, press the PAUSE key again. Pause mode
essentially suspends the current workout, holding its statistics in memory, and allowing the user to pedal at zero-
level resistance. If the user stops pedaling, however, the console automatically shuts down, and the workout
information is erased.
The C9i model’s Infinite Pause feature allows the user to stop pedaling and still retain the current workout
information. The console shuts down, but the information is stored in memory. When the console is activated again,
the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to continue the paused workout. To do so, press ENTER. To begin a
new workout, press CLEAR.
ENDING WORKOUTS EARLY
To end a workout before the pre-set duration expires, press CLEAR once. The MESSAGE CENTER then displays
a workout summary, which includes the distance travelled, the total calories burned, and other statistics. Press
CLEAR a second time, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR
PRESS QUICK START for a new workout.

QUICK START
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout
program. The intensity level for the workout is set automatically and remains the same unless manually changed.
To increase or decrease the level, press the UP or DOWN ARROW keys.
HILL
The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods
of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The WORKOUT PROFILE
window represents these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills
