4.3 How to Maximize Workouts on the Lifecycle Exercise Bike

In all Life Fitness stairclimber workout programs, except the Fit Test, you can change the
level of intensity at any time by simply pressing a new number between 0 and 12 on the
numeric keypad or by pressing the
one program after starting another, simply push CLEAR three times to clear the first
program and then select the new program.
Selecting the Correct Intensity Level
The Lifecycle exercise bike offers 13 levels of intensity, or difficulty, from
which to choose. Level 0 is the easiest and level 12 is the most challenging.
Select a low effort level until you become accustomed to the Lifecycle
exercise bike, then increase the intensity as your condition improves.
The Random and Manual programs are proportionately more difficult than the Hill program.
Because of this, you should be careful to select an effort level in the Random program that
is one to two levels lower than you would normally select in the Hill program. Conversely, if
you choose the Manual program, you should select an intensity level that is at least three
levels lower than the level you would normally work out at in the Hill program. The following
table will allow you to compare the relative intensities of the four Lifecycle exercise bike
computerized fitness programs.
