Steady-pace Training
As popular as interval training is, many people prefer steady-pace training, and it, too, is
available on your
Lifecycle 6500HR
aerobic trainer. The Manual program provides you
with a consistent, fixed level of pedal resistance. You can design your own workout rou-
tine quickly and easily in the Manual program simply by changing the resistance level
during the course of your ride.
For example, if you are working out in the Manual program at level 4 and want to
increase the effort level, just enter a number from 512; conversely, if you want to make
your ride a bit easier, press 0, 1, 2, or 3.

Many exercise physiologists believe in combining steady-pace training and interval
training, and all of the computerized workout programs on your
Lifecycle 6500HR
aero-
bic trainer feature this variety.
However, if your time is limited, we recommend that you choose the interval-training Hill
program because it can provide greater cardiorespiratory improvement per exercise
session than the Manual or Random programs can; in short, you get more exercise
results for your time! If you have been advised by your physician to maintain a steady
heart rate while exercising, we recommend that you select the Manual program. It is
generally easier to maintain a consistent heart rate using the Manual program than it is
with the Hill or Random programs.
