The Pace Goal feature is designed to allow the user to set the pace of a workout. The user sets a pace goal during the
workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase and ends afterward. A pace
readout is displayed at the left of the screen showing numeric feedback regarding the user’s progress relating to the
selected pace. To use this feature:
1. Select a workout.
2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose MORE, select PACE, enter the desired pace goal, and select ENTER.
3. For Units, choose either ENGLISH (to set a pace speed in miles/time) or METRIC (to set a pace speed in
kilometers/time).
4. Enter the distance and time of the workout.
5. The console will calculate the pace the user must maintain to finish the workout in the desired time.
6. Select ENTER to approve the displayed pace or reenter the chosen time and distance.
7. Begin the workout.
The Time in Zone Goal program enhances a 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 cool down phase. To use the Time In Zone
Goal feature:
1. Select a workout.
2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose TIME IN ZONE (some workouts require the user to choose the MORE option
first), enter the desired amount of time, and select ENTER.
3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.
4. Begin the workout.
NOTE: Time in Zone is directly correlated to fitness level. Since the program will continue to increase resistance until the
goal is met, it may be wise to start low and work towards a higher goal. Choose COOL DOWN at any time, to exit the
workout and immediately enter a cool down phase. For help setting TIME IN ZONE goals, consult a personal trainer. For
more information on Heart Rate Zone Training, see Section 3.1 titled Why Heart Rate Zone Training?

The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike provides several different ways to adjust the resistance level of a workout. When
prompted, use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed resistance level or target heart rate* to the
desired value, or choose the desired value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and press ENTER. Adjust the level as needed
or desired during the workout.
• Resistance level: The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike provides a selection of 25 resistance levels (26 levels
with optional external power supply). The resistance level appears in the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rows
of lights arranged in columns. Selecting a low intensity level at first is recommended. As physical conditioning
improves, the levels can increase.

• Target heart rate: Programs that calculate a target heart rate* base this number on the age of the user and the
type of workout. 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 Polar heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system
sensors; and it uses this data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate, by pressing the HEART RATE
button on the CONTROL PANEL and typing the desired number with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, increases the
intensity of the cardiovascular exercise.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent
of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117
