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.

It is possible, during a workout, to switch to another workout program. After a switch, the console

“on the fly,” press the CHANGE WORKOUTS key repeatedly until the desired alternate workout

To pause a workout, press the PAUSE key, which brings the resistance level down to zero. To

continue a paused workout, press the PAUSE key again. Note that the user must continue ped-

aling 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.

other statistics. Press CLEAR a second time, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays “SELECT

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

the displayed weight to the correct value.
