EZ RESISTANCE
In this workout, the gradual changes in resistance are extremely subtle, lowering perceived exertion. The changes in
resistance also are independent of user’s pedaling speed. The cardiovascular workout is effective, efficient, and enjoyable
at the same time.
The workout consists of one hill. The user determines the height of the peak of this hill by selecting an intensity level during
the setup. The higher the level selected, the higher the intensity at the entry point, which is the beginning of the workout,
and the higher the intensity at the peak, which occurs after 75 percent of the workout is completed. After the peak is
reached, the resistance gradually returns to the same intensity level as that of the entry point. See the chart below.
FAT BURN
The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum
for optimal
results. Throughout the workout, the user grasps the Lifepulse system sensors or wears a Polar heart rate chest strap. If the
user is not wearing a chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a heart shape, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays
a prompt to wear the chest strap. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level to
reach and maintain the target*. This system eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise
by using the body's fat stores for fuel.
