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 a higher percentage of calories from fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness.
3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING THE LIFEPULSETM DIGITAL HEART RATE MONITORING SYSTEM The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system. For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout: • Grasp the sensors (A) on the armrests or handlebars firmly. • Hold each sensor at the horizontal or vertical midpoint. • Keep hands steady and in place. The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors.
THE OPTIONAL HEART RATE CHEST STRAP The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike is equipped with Polar® telemetry, 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, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services (refer to page 1 for contact information). See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap.
4 THE WORKOUTS 4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS The following workouts are preprogrammed for the Inspire LCD console on the 95C and 95R Lifecycle Exercise Bikes. 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. To change the level, use the LEVEL ARROW keys or the NUMERIC KEYPAD to enter a higher or lower level number.
HILL + WORKOUTS HILL + are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following workouts may be accessed with this button: AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical areas. FOOTHILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels. KILIMANJARO is a hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then gradually decline.
4.2 USING THE WORKOUTS Select a workout. See the chart at the beginning of Section 4.3 for an overview of the steps required to set up each workout. 1) BEGINNING A WORKOUT There are three ways to begin a workout: Quick Start, Select Workout (see Section 4.2) and Virtual Trainer (see Section 4.5). SELECTING AND USING QUICK START QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. It bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. On the home screen, press the QUICK START button.
The Pace Goal feature is designed to allow the user to set the pace of a workout. The user sets a pace goal during the workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase and ends afterward. A pace readout is displayed at the left of the screen showing numeric feedback regarding the user’s progress relating to the selected pace. To use this feature: 1. Select a workout. 2.
4) ENTERING WORKOUT VALUES AGE: When prompted to enter Age, use the illuminated ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed age to the correct value, or key in the correct value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and press ENTER. Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise 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.
ENDING WORKOUTS EARLY To end a workout early, press COOL DOWN on the Control Panel. The COOL DOWN button changes into an END WORKOUT button. A user can stop a workout by pushing the END WORKOUT button; otherwise the cool down phase will automatically begin. The program will designate a cool down time period in proportion to the amount of time spent in the workout.

WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS QUICK START QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. It bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. On the home screen, press the QUICK START button. The workout begins at an intensity level that remains the same unless manually changed. To change the level, use the LEVEL ARROW keys or the NUMERIC KEYPAD to enter a higher or lower level number. After the workout has been in progress for one minute, the touchscreen displays “ENTER WEIGHT FOR METS DISPLAY”.
1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the HILL program 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 over 10, 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.
HEART RATE + WORKOUTS FAT BURN FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of calories from fat. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. The workout program automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum†. CARDIO CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardiovascular benefits and total calories burned.
HEART RATE INTERVAL 80% HRmax Warm-up Hill Hill Hill 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 maximum† (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.
HILL + WORKOUTS The Life Fitness patented HILL + workouts give even more ways to vary interval training. Based on the same principles as the CLASSIC HILL workout, Hill + workouts are customized to resemble different locations/training scenarios to add variety and challenge to Hill workouts. The AROUND THE WORLD workout is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical areas.
