4 THE WORKOUTS
4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS
The following workouts are pre-programmed for the Lifecycle Bike.
► QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a constant-level
workout begins. The intensity level does not change automatically.
► MANUAL is a constant effort workout in which the user can change the intensity level at any time.
► RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern
or progression.
► FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of calories from fat. The user wears a Polar
telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse
TM
sensors continuously. The program adjusts the intensity
level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65% of the theoretical maximum.
► CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardiovascular benefits and total calories
burned. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the Lifepulse
TM
sensors continuously.
The program adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80% of the
theoretical maximum.
► HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods
of lower-intensity exercise.
► HEART RATE HILL
TM
takes the user through three different hills based on the target heart rate. The user wears a
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the Lifepulse
TM
sensors continuously.
► HEART RATE INTERVAL
TM
alternates between a hill and a valley based on the target heart rate. The user wears a
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the Lifepulse
TM
sensors continuously.
► EXTREME HEART RATE
TM
is an intense workout for more experienced users. It is designed to get the heart rate
up and down as quickly as possible. The user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the
Lifepulse
TM
sensors continuously.
► SPORT TRAINING simulates an outdoor terrain by setting various resistance levels.
► EZ RESISTANCE features a gradual, subtle increase in resistance, independent of the user’s pedaling speed. A
peak in resistance is followed by an equally subtle decrease in resistance.
