3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE 3.1 WHY 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. Zone training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness. The values within the zone depend on the workout.
3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING THE LIFEPULSETM DIGITAL HEART RATE MONITORING SYSTEM The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on the Life Fitness Lifecycle Recumbent Bike. During a workout, grasp the sensors (A) that are set into the handlebars. For an accurate reading, use a comfortable grip. The console displays the heart rate after 10 to 40 seconds.
4 THE WORKOUTS 4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS This section lists the Lifecycle Recumbent Bike’s pre-programmed workouts. For more detailed information, see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts. QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting a specific workout program. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a constant-level workout begins. The intensity level does not change automatically.
INTERVAL is a Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a peak and then gradually decline. CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease. SPEED TRAINING is a Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low levels very quickly to simulate a typical speed-training workout.
2) SELECTING A WORKOUT When prompted to select a workout, select the desired workout button. The touchscreen will then bring up the corresponding Workout Setup Screens which include level, age, weight, target heart rate*, Watts and METs. Press ENTER after each selection to record it. After values are set, the workout progress screen appears and the workout begins. For MANUAL, FAT BURN, HILL, RANDOM, and CARDIO choose the corresponding button to enter directly into the workout setup screens.
The Time in Zone goal enhances a heart rate workout by setting a certain duration within the target heart rate* as a workout goal. The program automatically alters the resistance to maintain a pace that will meet that objective within that duration. Once the objective is met, the workout automatically goes into a Cooldown Phase. To use the Time In Zone Goal feature: 1. Select either FAT BURN, CARDIO, or any of the Zone Training workouts including HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE.
5) SELECTING A WORKOUT MODE All workouts on the Lifecycle Recumbent Bike default to a Constant-Calories-Per-Hour Mode. The Bike Mode provides another option for varying workouts. The Bike Mode is accessed on the Workout Progress Screen under Mode. NOTE: Bike Mode is not available on any of the heart workouts. • Bike Mode: This workout mode simulates the experience of riding a real bicycle.
PAUSING WORKOUTS To pause a workout, simply stop pedaling. An EXIT WORKOUT button appears. Selecting EXIT WORKOUT takes the user out of the workout, back to the Welcome Screen. To continue the workout, resume pedaling. The pause duration defaults to 1 minute (configurable by the manager), after which, the console returns to the Welcome Screen. ENDING WORKOUTS EARLY To end a workout early, press COOLDOWN on the Control Panel to go directly into the Cooldown Phase.
4.3 WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS LIFECYCLE RECUMBENT EXERCISE BIKE WORKOUT SETUP STEPS NOTE: AFTER ENTERING A VALUE (AGE, WEIGHT, HEIGHT, GENDER) OR A GOAL (TIME, LEVEL, THR), PRESS ENTER TO REGISTER THE SELECTION.
QUICK START QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. The intensity level for the workout is set automatically and remains the same unless manually changed. To change the level and stay in the Workout Progress screen, press the UP or DOWN ARROW KEYS on the Control Panel, corresponding to the LEVEL button.
HILL The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The WORKOUT PROFILE window represents these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys. The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respiratory improvement than steady-pace training.
1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the Hill program to complete all four phases adequately. The program, therefore, condenses a workout of this duration at various stages. 10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For every minute added by the user “on the fly,” each interval increases by three seconds. A 15-minute workout consists of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each.
ZONE TRAINING Zone Training workouts target specific ranges, or zones, for maintaining a heart rate to achieve maximum exercise results. 1) HEART RATE HILLTM This program combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during the workout setup. All hills and valleys are percentages of HRmax.
2) HEART RATE INTERVALTM 80% HRmax Warm-up Hill Hill Hill This program also combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during the workout setup.
3) EXTREME HEART RATE TM This intense, varied workout is designed to help more experienced users to break through fitness improvement plateaus. The workout alternates between two target heart rates* as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. The user must wear a chest strap or grip the LifepulseTM sensors throughout the workout. When setting up the workout, the user enters a target heart rate.
4) PERSONAL TRAINER Personal Trainer workouts are customized workouts designed either for the advanced user or to be used in connection with a personal trainer. 1) WATTS This workout targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Watts. A Watt is a unit of power that measures the amount of mechanical work required to operate a device, such as a Lifecycle Recumbent Bike. It is roughly equal to .25 calories per hour.
4) LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST The Lifecycle Recumbent Bike Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile exercise bike. The Life Fitness Fit Test measures cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six weeks. The user must grasp the hand sensors when prompted or wear a heart rate chest strap, as the test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading. The workout duration will be five minutes at the chosen resistance level.
The computer will not accept: O heart rates less than 52 or greater than 200 beats per minute O body weights less than 75 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 400 pounds (182 kg) O ages below 10 or over 99 years O data input that exceeds human potential If an error is made when entering any Fit Test data, correct it by pressing CLEAR, inputting the correct information, and pressing ENTER. It is important to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time.
The tables below list fit test results.
5) MILITARY FITNESS TEST AIR FORCE PRT The 95Re exercise bike features an Air Force Physical Readiness Test (PRT). This test is similar to the fit test workout, except that it does not have a preset time goal. The Air Force PRT is located in the Personal Trainer Workouts. To begin an Air Force PRT: O O O Choose PERSONAL TRAINER, AIR FORCE PRT. Go through the setup screens for the Fit Test, including WEIGHT, AGE, AND GENDER. Press Enter after each selection to record the entry.
5 SYSTEM OPTIONS MENU 5.1 USING THE SYSTEMS OPTIONS MENU Fitness club managers and other authorized personnel can use the Systems Options feature to change default settings, or to enable or disable certain programs or displays on the bike console, to run systems checks, and to access compiled statistics.
