LifeSpan C2 Owner's Manual page 4

We all know that exercise is a key component to achieving the level of Health and Wellness that all
of us desire. Regular activity prevents the development of numerous diseases, helps to reduce
stress, leads to an improved self image, weight loss and increased energy levels.
We also know that in our modern society of fast food, automation and convenience, as a society we
are becoming increasingly sedentary and overweight. At LifeSpan we are working to promote
regular activity. Whether this activity is through physical education in our school systems, sports,
outdoor recreation, or exercising indoors, we believe that increased activity will greatly improve the
health of the average individual in our society.
We designed the LifeSpan product line specifically for people who want to make exercise a part of
their lifestyle. To do this we know that you need a product that is easy to use, comfortable and
built to last.
Easy to Use - means an intuitive easy to read display console, simple adjustments to obtain
proper positioning for each workout, and convenient locations for resistance adjustments, water
bottle holders and storage trays.
Comfortable - includes oversized seats with thick cushioning and built in lumbar support, counter
balanced pedals with a large surface area so they are easy on the feet, and ergonomically correct
positioning that's easy on the knees, hips and back.
Durability - at the center of any stationary exercise cycle is the drive system - the flywheel, pulleys,
belt, cranks and pedals. The quality and durability of the drive system is only as good as the
weakest component in this system.
The drive system on the C2 and R2 starts with a flywheel that is a full 12" in diameter,
weighs approximately 19 pounds, and places the conductive ring on the outer circumference
of the flywheel. These factors are all critical to obtain a smooth pedal stroke even with high
levels of resistance. The flywheel is complemented by a 5 grove poly V belt, belt tension pulley
that can be adjusted from the outside of the bike, sealed bearings, 3 piece crank set and
counterbalanced pedals. All of these components together ensure a smooth and durable
drive system.
