    Lifecycle 9100R aerobic trainer. Why use a Life Fitness recumbent trainer? Aerobic training on a Lifecycle 9100R exercise bike is more than just a great workout. The Lifecycle 9100R aero- bic trainer has an ergonomic seat and biomechanically superior position that makes it more comfortable.

  • Page 7: How To Level The Lifecycle 9100R Aerobic Trainer

    HOW TO LEVEL THE RECUMBENT LIFECYCLE 9100R AEROBIC TRAINER Depending on the surface on which you place your Lifecycle 9100R aerobic trainer, it may need to be leveled. After you place the bike where you will be primarily using it, check the stability of the bike by attempting to rock it back and forth.

  • Page 8: How To Adjust The Seat

    A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity, and the Lifecycle 9100R aerobic trainer is no exception. If the seat is too far for- ward, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadricep muscles; if the seat is too far back, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees.

  • Page 9: How To Adjust The Footstraps

    19a04700.opm 6/30/00 10:08 AM Page 9 HOW TO ADJUST THE FOOTSTRAPS The pedals on your Lifecycle 9100R aerobic trainer have nylon-reinforced rubber foot- straps 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.

If your primary goal is to burn fat, you should exercise at a level between 60% and 75% of your theoretical maximum heart rate (defined as 220 minus your age by the American College of Sports Medicine’s “Guidelines for Exercise Testing and...

  • Page 14: Operating Instructions & Program Descriptions

    FIT TEST is a way of measuring your aerobic fitness level compared to others of the same age and gender. The Lifecycle 9100R aerobic trainer is a “constant work” machine; in the Hill, Random and Manual programs, pedal resistance automatically compensates for changes in RPM.

  • Page 15: Watts/Mets Programmability Options

    19a04700.opm 6/30/00 10:08 AM Page 15 WATTS / METS Programmability Options It is possible in the Manual program to enter a value of Watts or METS to maintain, rather than a resistance level. For instance, if your doctor should prescribe that you exercise three times per week for 20 minutes at 100 Watts (the value must be between 33 and 338), this option would ensure that you maintain that 100 Watt level by altering the pedal resistance in inverse pro- portion to your pedaling speed.

  • Page 16: The Race Option

    The Race mode allows you to vary your pedal rpm to simulate the feel of an actual 12-speed racing bike in the Hill, Random and Manual pro- grams. Turn the Race mode on at any time and the Lifecycle 9100R aero- bic trainer’s 12 effort levels are transformed into the “gears” of a high...
