Selecting a workout on your Life Fitness exercise bike is easy. Five computerized aerobic workouts, including the
exclusive Fit Test Workout, are pre-programmed on your Lifecycle exercise bike.

Option box.
Your Lifecycle exercise bike features graduated levels of intensity to more closely simulate riding through hills and
valleys. As you encounter hills in various workouts, the pedal resistance will increase or decrease for the duration
of that hill.
The Lifecycle exercise bike is a "constant work" machine; in the Hill, Race, Random, and Manual Workout, pedal
resistance automatically compensates for changes in RPM. In other words, the slower you pedal, the greater the
resistance; conversely, the faster you pedal the less resistance you feel.* The distance you travel will remain the
same; pedaling faster will not bring you to the end of a workout sooner nor burn more calories, assuring you of a
consistent workout.
NOTE: Mileage readings are arbitrary and should not be used to compare workouts. Total calories burned is the
best measure of the amount of work performed in any given workout.

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, allows you to start a Manual Workout for the maximum
allowable time with the press of a key.
You can "Quick Start" a Manual Workout without using the Program Select Key. To do so, enter a resistance level
rather than selecting a workout. The computer will automatically begin a 99-minute Manual Workout.
REMEMBER: You can change levels at any time by simply keying in a new level using the Arrow Keys!
*
This is true as long as you pedal faster than 65 RPM, the resistance will drop off to the point where you can continue pedaling
at a pace sufficient to maintain power to the console.
