Page 8: Setup
ETUP ® OW TO STABILIZE THE IFECYCLE ECUMBENT XERCISE After placing the bike in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it in all directions. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut (A) with an open-end 9/16-inch wrench, and rotate the stabilizing foot (B) to lower it. - Page 9 DJUST A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity and the Lifecycle Recumbent Exercise Bike is no exception. If the seat is too close, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles; if the seat is too far, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees. Sit on the seat and place the balls of the feet on the pedals.

Page 10: How To Adjust The Footstraps
DJUST OOTSTRAPS The pedals on the Lifecycle Recumbent Exercise Bike have footstraps with slits on both the inside and the outside of each strap. To adjust the width of the straps, grasp the outside of the strap and pull down and away from the knob. Once the slotted end is removed, choose a comfortable width for riding, reinsert the knob through the slot and pull the strap up. -

(R9i only) or a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW displays a flashing heart shape to request the user’s heart rate signal. On the R9i, if the console does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt, “NEED HEART RATE – PLACE HANDS ON SENSORS OR CHECK TELEMETRY STRAP.”... -
Page 14: Heart Rate Zone Training + Exercise
Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training+ approach to exercise. -
Page 15: Heart Rate Monitoring
ODEL ONLY The patented Lifepulse Digital Heart Rate Sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on the Lifecycle R9i Exercise Bike. During a workout, grasp two of the four sensors that are set into the handlebars. The console displays the heart rate after 10 to 40 seconds. -
Page 16: The Workouts
The second hill increases the rate to 95 percent. The third hill matches the target heart rate. The valley always is defined as 85 percent of the target. The user must grasp the Lifepulse sensors (R9i only) continuously or wear a heart rate chest strap. -
Page 17: Using The Workouts
O BEGIN ANY WORKOUT Check and adjust seat height and pedal strap tightness. Get on the bike, and simply start pedaling (R9i); or start pedaling, and press the START key (R7i) to activate the console. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt: SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR PRESS QUICK START. - Page 18 The user accepts or adjusts the rate when setting up the workout. During the workout itself, the program reads the heart rate, which is transmitted via the Lifepulse Sensors (R9i only) or the chest strap; and it uses this data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate increases the intensity of the cardiovascular exercise.
-
Page 19: Ending Workouts Early
If the user stops pedaling, however, the console automatically shuts down, and the workout information is erased. The R9i model’s Infinite Pause feature allows the user to stop pedaling and still retain the current workout information. The console shuts down, but the information is stored in memory. When the console is activated again, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to continue the paused workout. - Page 20 The HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The WORKOUT PROFILE window displays the progress of these phases. As noted in the descriptions below, the heart rate should be measured at two stages in the workout to gauge its effectiveness. Grasp the sensors (R9I only), or wear the chest strap.
- Page 21 The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate is calculated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum. As with FAT BURN, the user grasps the Lifepulse sensors (R9i only) or wears a chest strap throughout the CARDIO workout. The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.
- Page 22 The user’s fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys encountered within the duration. Throughout the workout, the user must grasp the Lifepulse sensors (R9i only) or wear a Polar chest strap to enable the program to monitor the heart rate.
- Page 23 The program repeats the alternating of intensity levels, continuing this pattern for the duration. Throughout the workout, the user must grasp the Lifepulse sensors (R9i only) or wear a Polar chest strap to enable the program to monitor the heart rate. ATTS I ONLY This workout targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Watts.
- Page 24 EROBICS RAINER I ONLY In this workout, the MESSAGE CENTER continuously prompts the user to switch between a high pedaling speed and a low pedaling speed. These speed intervals alternate in a pattern that promotes a “build-up” in the intensity of the workout, followed by a “build-down”...
