Watts - Life Fitness Lifecycle upright 9500HR Operation Manual

WATTS PROGRAM
A Watt is a unit of power that measures the amount of mechanical work required to operate a
device such as an exercise bike (roughly equal to 1/4 of calories per hour). For example, if
your doctor should recommend you exercise three times per week for 20 minutes at 100
Watts (the value must be between 43 and 368), this option would insure that you maintain
the 100 Watt level by altering the pedal resistance in proportion to your pedaling speed.
