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.
3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING THE OPTIONAL HEART RATE CHEST STRAP The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bikes are 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 (see page 1 for contact information).
4 THE WORKOUTS 4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS The following workouts are preprogrammed for the Engage LCD console on the 97C, 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.
HILL + WORKOUTS HILL PLUS 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. CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease. FOOTHILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.
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. The user can track whether his or her pace is ahead, behind, or on target with his or her desired pace. A visual representation of the user’s pace is shown. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase and ends afterward.
5) SELECTING A WORKOUT MODE The user may select or change a mode during a workout setup or during a workout by pressing the CHANGE MODE button. • Bike Mode: This workout mode simulates the experience of riding a real bicycle. The rate of calories burned and total distance travelled increase 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.

4.3 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.
Each column, as seen in the CLASSIC PROFILE WINDOW and the chart above, represents one interval. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each workout is made up of 20 intervals, so the duration of each interval is equal to the duration of the entire workout divided by 20. 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.
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 HILL PLUS The Life Fitness patented HILL PLUS workouts give even more ways to vary interval training. Based on the same principles as the HILL workout, Hill Plus workouts are customized to resemble different locations/training scenarios to add variety and challenge to Hill workouts 1) AROUND THE WORLD An interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical areas. 2) CASCADES A two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.
Within each suggested range, these additional guidelines can be used: Lower Half of Range Upper Half of Range higher age lower age lower weight higher weight* shorter taller * In cases of excessive weight, use lower half of range.
