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 HILL

TM

takes the user through three different hills based on the target heart rate*. The

user wears a 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 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 heart rate chest strap, or grasps
the Lifepulse

TM

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.
