This section lists the Lifecycle exercise 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 (93Ci only) 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 (93Ci only) 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 work-
out program 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.
On the 93Ci model, the following workouts are accessed by pressing the WORKOUTS
PLUS key :
AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of
various geographical areas.
FOOT HILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.
KILIMANJARO is a Hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ulti-
mate peak and then gradually decline.
INTERVAL is a Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually
incline toward a peak and then gradually decline.
CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.
SPEED TRAINING is a Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low
levels very quickly to simulate a typical speed-training workout.
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.
