Cardio; Manual - Life Fitness Lifecycle 5500HR Operation Manual

The Hill diagram below shows the effort level and recovery periods encountered during a Hill
workout. Effort and recovery periods are simulated on the display console by columns of lights
in the Program Profile Window. The columns move from right to left during the workout. The
higher the column, the higher the incline; consequently, you must increase the effort.
