1.2 SETUP

Read the entire Operation Manual before setting up the Lifecycle recumbent bike.

WHERE TO PLACE THE LIFECYCLE® RECUMBENT EXERCISE BIKE

Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the bike to the location in which it will be used.

See Section 7, titled Specifications, for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow a distance of 8 to 12 inches, or 21 to 30 centimeters, between the bike and other objects or surfaces on either side. Allow a distance of 3 feet, or 1 meter, from the front or rear of the bike to any other object or surface.

HOW TO STABILIZE THE LIFECYCLE RECUMBENT BIKE

After placing the bike in position, check the unit�s stability by attempting to rock it from side to side. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut (A) with an open-end 9/16-inch wrench, and rotate the stabilizing foot (B) to lower it. Verify that the bike is stable, and repeat the adjustment as necessary until the unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam nut against the stabilizer bar.

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT

It is important to adjust the seat to an optimal height for pedaling on the Lifecycle recumbent bike. A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity and the Lifecycle recumbent bike is no exception. If the seat is too close, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles; if the seat is too far, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees.

Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals. An optimum position will allow movement through the bottom of the stroke without locking the knees or shifting in the seat.

The knees should have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension.

If the seat needs to be adjusted, lift the spring-loaded adjusting handle located on the right, front side of the seat. Slide the seat forward or backward as necessary to the proper position and release the pin to complete engagement. Gently slide the seat forward and backward a small distance to ensure it is locked into place. Check the seat distance again and re-adjust it if necessary.

BA

CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while pedaling the bike. Doing so, or failing to insert the seat pin completely may result in an uncomfortable workout or cause injury.

MISE EN GARDE : Ne pas essayer d'ajuster la selle pendant le pédalage. Tout ajustage en cours de fonctionnement ou toute insertion incomplète de la goupille de la selle pourrait nuire à l'exercice ou entraîner des blessures.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS

The bike pedal straps keep the user�s shoes on the pedals during a workout. The straps should fit comfortably, but they also should be tight enough to prevent shoes from slipping at any point in the pedaling rotation. Before working out, a user should test and adjust the tightness of the straps.

On the 93R: The safety straps on the foot pedals of the Lifecycle recumbent bike can be adjusted to fit a variety of shoe sizes. The straps are held in place by two knobs that extend from either side of each pedal. The �inner� knob extends side-ways, that is, toward the bike. The �outer� knob extends down-ward. The ends of each strap are perforated with slots that fit tightly over the knobs. The �inner� end of each strap is perforat-ed with two slots, and the �outer� segment of the strap is perfo-rated with a row of slots. To tighten or loosen a strap, grasp the outer end, and pull it back, away from the knob, until the strap slides off. Pull the strap out through the outer loop on the pedal.

Rest the foot on the pedal, and wrap the strap over the foot to determine the proper length. Thread the strap through the outer loop on the pedal, tuck it under the pedal, select the appropriate slot, and pull that slot down over the knob, until the top of the knob pops through the slot. A click indicates that the strap is locked into place.

On the 90R: The pedals on the Lifecycle recumbent bike have footstraps with slits on both the inside and the outside of each strap. The straps are held in place by two knobs that extend sideways from either side of each pedal. To tighten or loosen a strap, grasp the outer end, and pull it back, away from the knob, until the strap slides off. Rest the foot on the pedal, and wrap the strap over the foot to determine the proper length. Select the appropriate slot on the strap, and pull that slot down over the knob, until the top of the knob pops through the slot. A click indicates that the strap is locked into place.

STARTING UP THE BIKE CONSOLE

93R model: When a user begins pedaling on the Lifecycle exercise bike, the unit�s Auto-Start fea-ture powers up the console, causing the console display to light up and the MESSAGE CENTER to flash a prompt: �SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR PRESS QUICK START.� If the user does not make a selection in 20 seconds, the console automatically starts a MANUAL work-out. For information on setting up a workout, see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts. If the user stops pedaling for more than 15 seconds, the console shuts down.

Alternately, the user may begin pedaling at a predetermined rate and press the START key to power up the console.

90R model: When a user begins pedaling at a predefined rate on the Lifecycle exercise bike and presses the START key, the console display lights up, and the MESSAGE CENTER flashes a prompt: �SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR PRESS QUICK START.� If the user does not make a selection in 20 seconds, the console automatically starts a MANUAL workout.

For information on setting up a workout, see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts. If the user stops pedaling, the console shuts down.

FITNESS AND ENTERTAINMENT NETWORKING

This feature is an option on the on the 93R model. Two interchangeable network ports allow the Lifecycle recumbent bike to be connected to a fitness entertainment system and/or a fitness net-work, such as the FitLinxx® interactive fitness network.

� Fitness network: The network connection enables the bike console to upload user workout statistics to a fitness network database or to download remotely stored informa-tion, such a pre-set workout program. See Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts, for information on logging onto a network. To order the kit, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services. See Section 6.4, titled How to Obtain Product Service.

� Entertainment: The network connection enables the bike console to power a third-party receiver for use with a service such as the Cardio Theater® entertainment system or BroadcastVisionTM entertainment system. It is necessary to purchase and install a retrofit kit to enable this feature. To order the kit, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services. See Section 6.4, titled How to Obtain Product Service.

Any use of these ports for other than their intended purpose could void the product warranty.

I CHANGE WORKOUT (93R only): Press this key to switch to another workout program while a workout is in progress.

J COOL DOWN: Workout programs end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity level.

In this phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exer-cise, which build up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle soreness. Press the COOL DOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cool Down mode. The console automatically adjusts each workout�s Cool Down level according to the individual user�s performance.

K WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent the levels of intensity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the column furthest to the left is proportional to the current level of the intensity.

During a FAT BURN, CARDIO HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE workout, which requires the use of a Polar heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE win-dow displays a heart shape to request the user�s heart rate signal. If the console does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt, �NEED HEART RATE - USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a MANUAL program.

L MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a workout. During a workout, it displays statistics about the progress of the workout:

� Level: the selected intensity level; alternates with Heart Rate.

� Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the Polar heart rate chest strap; alter-nates with Level.

� Distance: the total distance traveled.

� RPM (Revolutions Per Minute): the pedaling speed or rate.

� Calories: the number of calories burned since beginning the workout; alternates with Time.

� Time: the number of time elapsed since beginning the workout; alternates with Calories.

If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays other values each time the intensity level changes during the workout:

� Calories per Hour: the rate of calories burned per hour.

OR

� Watts: effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the mechanical rate of work.

� METs: effort level in METs. The MET is an expression of the rate of work for the human body at rest, or a metabolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at rest.

See Chapter 5, titled Optional Settings for information about enabling the MESSAGE CENTER to display these additional settings.

M BIKE MODE: Press this key to activate the Bike workout mode in which the rate of calories burned and the total distance travelled increase automatically as the user increases the pedaling speed.

N CONSTANT CAL./HOUR: Press this key to activate this alternate workout mode, which enables a user to maintain a consistent rate of calories burned per hour.

3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE

3.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE?

Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness heart rate zone training approach to exercise.

Zone training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness. The values within the zone depend on the workout.

NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.

The Lifecycle recumbent bike features exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of heart rate zone training exercise: FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL (93R only), HEART RATE INTERVAL (93R only), EXTREME HEART RATE (93R only). Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4, titled The Workouts.

During one of these workouts, wear the optional Polar heart rate chest strap to enable the bike�s on-board computer to monitor the heart rate. The computer automatically adjusts the resistance level to maintain the target heart rate* based on the actual heart rate. To change the target heart rate dur-ing a workout, use the ARROW keys.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING

THE POLAR® TELEMETRY HEART RATE MONITORING CHEST STRAP

The Lifecycle recumbent bike is equipped with Polar telemetry (optional on the 90R in the United States), a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the bike console. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap is optional. To order it, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services. See Section 6.4, titled How to Obtain Product Service.

See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the elec-trical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.

The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with skin. However, it also functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.

If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and moisten them.

4 THE WORKOUTS

4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS

This section lists the Lifecycle recumbent bike�s pre-programmed workouts. For more detailed information, see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts. The following workouts are accessed with the ARROW keys.

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting a specific workout program. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a constant-level workout begins. The intensity level does not change automatically.

HILL is an interval-training workout combining �hills� and �valleys� of different intensity levels, which is proven to provide effective, time-efficient cardiovascular results.

FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning the body�s fat reserves. The user must wear a Polar heart rate chest strap. The workout program automaticaly adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum�.

CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat burning. The user must wear a Polar heart rate chest strap. The workout pro-gram automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum.

RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

MANUAL is a workout in which the intensity level does not change automatically.

HEART RATE HILLTM takes the user through three different hills based on the target heart rate*. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously.

HEART RATE INTERVALTM alternates between a hill and a valley based on the target heart rate*. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM 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 heart rate chest strap, or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors continuously.

� 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 CARDIO workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

On the 93R model, the following workouts are accessed by pressing the WORKOUTS PLUS key :

AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical areas.

FOOT HILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.

KILIMANJARO is a Hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ulti-mate peak and then gradually decline.

INTERVAL is a Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a peak and then gradually decline.

CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.

SPEED TRAINING is a Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low levels very quickly to simulate a typical speed-training workout.

WATTS targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Watts. By default, this workout is turned off. For information on making it available, see Section 5, titled Optional Settings.

METs targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of METs. By default, this workout is turned off.

For information on making it available, see Section 5, titled Optional Settings.

AEROBICS TRAINER is a workout in which the MESSAGE CENTER prompts the user to switch continuously between a high pedaling speed and a low pedaling speed. The speed intervals alternate in a pattern that promotes a build-up in the intensity of the workout, followed by a build-down in intensity.

FIT TEST offers six different workouts to measure cardiovascular fitness compared to other people of the same age and gender.

MILITARY FITNESS TEST is similar to the FIT TEST workout, except that this program is based upon a specific predefined protocol. The available test is:

� AIR FORCE PHYSICAL READINESS TEST (PRT) - (U.S. MILITARY)

4.2 USING THE WORKOUTS

The networking feature is available only on the 93R model.

With optional networking enabled (applies to 93R only), start pedaling, and press START or simply start pedaling to activate the console. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt:

�SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR ENTER ID USING ENTER KEY�. Select a work-out, or log on to the networked exercise database, download the preset workout. The networking fea-ture is available only on the 93R model.

To log onto the network, press ENTER, and then enter the user ID number with the ARROW keys.

SELECTING AND USING QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. At the MESSAGE CENTER prompt to select a workout, press the QUICK START key. The workout begins at an intensity level that remains the same unless man-ually changed.

SELECTING A WORKOUT

For MANUAL, RANDOM, FAT BURN, HILL, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL (93R only), HEART RATE INTERVAL (93R only), EXTREME HEART RATE (93R only),and FIT TEST (90R only):

When prompted to select a workout, use the ARROW keys to scroll through the workout pro-gram names as they appear in the MESSAGE CENTER. When the desired program appears, press ENTER.

For WATTS, METS, AEROBICS TRAINER, KILIMANJARO, CASCADES, INTERVAL, SPEED TRAINING, AROUND THE WORLD, FOOTHILLS, FIT TEST, and MILITARY FITNESS TEST:

These workouts are available on the 93R model only. When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to select a workout, press the WORKOUTS PLUS key. The MESSAGE CENTER then displays the name of one of these. Press ENTER to select the displayed workout; or continue to press the WORKOUTS PLUS key to display each of the other options, and then press ENTER to select the desired workout.

ENTERING AGE

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter age, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed age to the correct value, and press ENTER. Lifecycle recumbent bike workout programs that set a target heart rate zone first calculate the user�s theoretical 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.

ENTERING TIME

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter a time, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed time to the desired value, and press ENTER.

SELECTING AND ADJUSTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER, use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed intensity level or target heart rate* to the desired value, and press ENTER. Adjust the level as needed or desired during the workout.

� Intensity level: The Lifecycle recumbent bike provides a selection of 20 intensity levels. The intensity level appears in the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rows of lights arranged in columns. Selecting a low intensity level at first is recommended. As physical conditioning improves, the levels can increase.

� Target heart rate: Exercise bike programs that calculate a target heart rate base this number on the age of the user and the type of workout. The user accepts or adjusts the rate when setting up the workout. During the workout itself, the program reads the heart rate, which is transmitted via the Polar heart rate chest strap; and it uses this data to adjust the resistance.

Manually raising the rate increases the intensity of the cardiovascular exercise.

� 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 CARDIO workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

SELECTING A WORKOUT MODE

Two workout mode options on the Lifecycle recumbent 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 travelled increase automatically 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. 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 resis-tance 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 FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE 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� (93R 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 repeatedly until the desired alternate workout appears in the MESSAGE CENTER. Then press ENTER

PAUSING WORKOUTS (93R ONLY)

To pause a workout, simply stop pedaling. To continue the workout, resume pedaling. The pause duration lasts 60 seconds, after which, the console automatically shuts down.

PAUSING WORKOUTS (90R ONLY)

To pause a workout, press the PAUSE key, which brings the resistance level down near zero. To continue a paused workout, press the PAUSE key again or the ENTER key. Note that the user must continue pedaling during a pause in order to retain the current workout information. If the user stops pedaling, the workout automatically ends, and the information is lost.

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.

4.3 WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS

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 change the level, press the UP or DOWN ARROW keys to enter a higher or lower level number. If the METS display is enabled, the MESSAGE CENTER displays ENTER WEIGHT, which is required to calculate this value. Using the ARROW KEYS, increase or decrease the displayed weight to the correct value.

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. If the user does not wear a Polar heart rate chest strap during the work-out, the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a heart shape. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the Lifecycle recumbent bike 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.

* This workout requires the user to wear the telemetry chest strap.

** Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. A 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

LIFECYCLE EXERCISE BIKE WORKOUT SETUP STEPS

� 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.

CARDIO

The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate* is calcu-lated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum�. The user wears a chest strap. The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.

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 high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys. The computerized interval training workout has been scien-tifically demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respiratory improvement than steady-pace training.

Each HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The WORK- OUT PROFILE window displays the progress of the phases, as seen in the chart following these descriptions. The heart rate should be measured at two stages in the workout to gauge its effective-ness. To do so, wear the Polar heart rate chest strap. Note that the MESSAGE CENTER does not display a request for a heart rate measurement during a HILL workout.

1 Warm-up is a phase of low, gradually rising resistance, which brings the heart rate into the lower end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles.

2 Plateau increases the intensity slightly, and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.

3 Interval Training is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or stints of recovery. The heart rate should rise to the high end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.

4 Cool-down is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid, and other exercise by-products, which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.

Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE window and the chart above, represents one interval. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each workout is made up of 20 intervals, so the duration of an interval is equal to the duration of the entire workout divided by 20.

1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the Hill pro-gram to complete all four phases adequately. The program, therefore, condenses a workout of this duration at various stages.

10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout.

For every minute added by the user �on the fly,� each interval increases by three seconds.

A 15-minute workout consists of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each.

20 to 99 minutes: All intervals last 60 seconds. If the user adds minutes to the pre-set duration while the workout is in progress, the program adds hills and valleys that are identical to the first eight intervals of the Interval Training phase. This pattern repeats until the workout is completed.

RANDOM

The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million different patterns are possible.

MANUAL

The MANUAL program sets an intensity level that does not change automatically. While the work-out is in progress, increase or lower the intensity level as desired, using the arrow keys.

� 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 (HRmax). A 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the HEART RATE HILL workout is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80 = 144.

HEART RATE HILLTM (93R ONLY)

This program combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum�

(HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during the workout setup. All hills and valleys are percentages of HRmax. The workout consists of three hills that target three heart rate goals:

The first hill brings the heart rate to 70 percent of HRmax. The second hill increases the rate to 75 percent of HRmax. The third hill matches the Target Heart Rate brining the heart rate to 80 percent of HRmax. The valley always is defined as 65 percent of HRmax.

After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the user reaches 70 percent of HRmax, the hill continues for one minute. When the minute expires, the level decreases into a valley. Once the user's heart rate falls to 65 percent of HRmax, the valley continues for one minute. Then, the next hill begins with its corresponding heart rate goal. After the user completes the third hill/valley pair, the program returns to the first hill and repeats the cycle as long as the duration allows. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase. If the heart rate goes above the theoretical maximum for more then 45 seconds, the exercise bike automatically goes into pause mode. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.

HEART RATE INTERVALTM (93R ONLY)

This program also combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maxi-mum� (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during the workout setup. The workout alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate of 80 percent of HRmax, and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 65 percent of HRmax. After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the goal is reached, the hill continues for three minutes. Then, the level decreases into a valley. Once the 65 percent of HRmax goal is reached, the valley continues for three minutes, after which the next hill begins. The user's fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys encountered within the duration. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase.
