This section lists the Lifecycle exercise bike’s pre-programmed workouts. For more detailed information, see Section 4.2,
titled Using the Workouts .
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.
RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or pro-
gression.
MANUAL is a workout in which the intensity level does not change automatically.
OUTDOOR TRAINING simulates an outdoor cycling terrain by setting different hills, or intensity levels, throughout the
course.
GRADUAL HILL features a gradual, subtle increase in resistance, lowering perceived exertion. A peak in resistance is
followed by an equally subtle decrease in resistance.
FAT BURNER (optional) is a low-intensity workout for burning the body’s fat reserves. The user must wear a telemetry
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 (optional) is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat burn-
ing. The user must wear a telemetry heart rate chest strap. The workout program automatically adjusts the intensity level,
based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum.

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. A 20-year-old user’s THR is 160, so the equation would be
(220-20)*.80=160.
