Two workout mode options on the Lifecycle recumbent bike feature alternate ways to vary workouts.
• Bike Mode: This workout mode simulates the experience of riding a real bicycle. The rate of
calories burned, and total distance travelled increase automatically as the user increases the
pedaling speed. This mode can be used with all workouts, except for FAT BURN, CARDIO,
HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE. To select
Bike mode, press BIKE MODE key.
• Constant-Calories-Per-Hour Mode: This workout mode enables a user to maintain a
consistent rate of calories burned per hour. As the pedaling speed increases, the resis-
tance level automatically decreases. As the pedaling speed decreases, the resistance
level automatically increases. This mode can be used with all workouts. To select it,
press the CONSTANT CAL./HR. key.
If the user selects a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or
EXTREME HEART RATE during the setup, the default mode is Constant-Calories-Per-Hour. For
all other workouts, the default mode is Bike. The user may select or change a mode during a
workout setup or during a workout.

To pause a workout, press the PAUSE key, which brings the resistance level down to zero. To
continue a paused workout, press the PAUSE key again. Note that the user must continue ped-
aling during a pause in order to retain the current workout information. If the user stops pedaling,
the workout automatically ends, and the information is lost.

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, press the UP or DOWN ARROW keys to enter a higher or
lower level number. If the METS display is enabled, the MESSAGE CENTER displays ENTER
WEIGHT, which is required to calculate this value. Using the ARROW KEYS, increase or decrease
the displayed weight to the correct value.
