INSPIRE LCD CONSOLE DESCRIPTION

This section lists and describes the functions for the buttons on the Touchscreen Display for the Inspire LCD console on the Lifecycle Exercise Bikes. See Section 4 titled The Workouts for detailed information on using the console to set up workouts.

TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY The Touchscreen Display, in combination with the illuminated Control Panel keys, allows the user to move from screen to screen by simply touching buttons to access other screens. Among many features, the Touchscreen Display enables users to access: 1) QUICK START - begin a manual workout. 2) SELECT WORKOUT- choose a workout. 3) VIRTUAL TRAINER SETUP - choose a Virtual Trainer for workout motivation. 4) USB PRESET SELECTION/VIVO/NETWORK - select a saved preset from a USB stick and allows users to access a club’s fitness networking system if available. 5) WORKOUT SETUP - enter workout values and goals. 6) WORKOUT PROGRESS - monitor progress, edit workout goals, and access TV viewing. 7) WORKOUT SUMMARY INFORMATION - view and save workout summary information. 8) MEDIA CENTER - setup media options. 9) LANGUAGE SELECT - choose from available languages.

2) HOME SCREEN

A. QUICK START: Press this button to begin a manual workout immediately, bypassing any setup or goal setting. Once started, the user can then make adjustments to the workout. Once the workout is in progress choose LEVEL to determine the resistance level. After the workout has been in progress for one minute, the touchscreen displays “ENTER WEIGHT FOR METS DISPLAY”. Press this button and use the numeric keypad or the UP and DOWN ARROW KEYS to enter weight. Weight must be entered for METs to be computed and displayed. Select the COOL DOWN button on the bottom of the screen to enter a cool down phase when ready. B. SELECT WORKOUT: Allows the user to choose from a variety of workout programs. See Section 4.1 titled Workout Overviews for a description of each workout. C. VIRTUAL TRAINER: Allows the user to select a male or female trainer to assist during workout setup and provide audible feedback during a workout. D. USB / VIVO / NETWORK: Allows the user to access previously saved workout setup data, bypassing the workout setup procedure and immediately entering a workout. Users can also access a club’s fitness networking system if available.

2) CONTROL PANEL The Control Panel allows the user to control workout and media parameters without leaving the Workout Progress screen. H. ARROW KEYS: When in the workout phase, the illuminated UP and DOWN ARROW KEYS are used in combination with the Touchscreen Display. These keys allow the user to make changes to a workout goal during the workout setup. Each set of arrow keys controls the goal located directly above it on the Touchscreen Display. Changeable information (i.e. a workout goal) either appears as a button (Time, Level, and Target Heart Rate*) or is accessible through CHANGE WORKOUT, CHANGE GOAL (Calories, Distance, and for heart rate programs, Time in Zone). Workout statistics are not changeable. For example, use the illuminated arrow keys under ELAPSED TIME (a workout goal) to change the goal time for the workout session. I.

COOL DOWN: Workout programs automatically end in a cool down phase, which lowers the resistance level. In this phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exercise, which build up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle soreness. Press the illuminated key under COOL DOWN to enter the cool down stage at any point during the workout. Each workout’s cool down level is automatically adjusted according to the individual user’s performance. (Cool down times are preset in proportion to the duration of a workout.) The cool down time can be changed by using the corresponding arrow keys on the control panel. At the end of cool down, or after pressing the END WORKOUT key, a workout summary box appears.

J. PAUSE: Press the illuminated key under PAUSE. A RESUME WORKOUT button and EXIT button appear on the Touchscreen. Continue the workout by selecting RESUME WORKOUT or end the workout by selecting EXIT. The pause duration lasts 60 seconds, after which the console automatically shuts down. (Users can also pause a workout if they stop pedaling. To continue the workout, resume pedaling.) * 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.

9

K. MEDIA: Press the illuminated key next to MEDIA to access the following options: Life Fitness Attachable Television

and iPod. L. VOLUME: Volume control for the optional Life Fitness Attachable TV and iPod. Press the illuminated UP and DOWN arrow keys next to the volume icon to adjust the volume. M. CH: Channel control for the optional Life Fitness Attachable TV and iPod. Press the illuminated UP and DOWN arrow keys next to the channel icon (ch) to change the channel. N. CHANGE VIEW: Press the illuminated key next to CHANGE VIEW to toggle between four landscapes: CLASSIC PROFILE, MOUNTAIN, 400-METER TRACK and 5K NATURE TRAIL. O. CHANGE WORKOUT: Press the illuminated key next to CHANGE WORKOUT to switch between four categories of workouts. P. VIRTUAL TRAINER: Press the illuminated key next to VIRTUAL TRAINER to turn the trainer off. NOTE: Headphones are necessary to access the sound for the optional Life Fitness Attachable TV and iPod. The headphone jack is located on the bottom of the Options Panel. If the jack is faulty, the Options Panel needs to be replaced. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services for more information (see page 1 for contact information).

3) WORKOUT SETUP Workouts are accessed through the SELECT WORKOUT button. Workouts are located under one of four workout categories: CLASSIC, HEART RATE +, HILL + and ADVANCED. Workout options are listed to the right of each category label. Advancing through the categories will show individual workout descriptions. WORKOUT SETUP screens are accessed upon selection of a workout program button. They allow the user to enter values or to choose a goal for the workout selected. These depend on the workout, but might include goal type (time, distance, calories, and pace), level, age, weight, distance, and target heart rate* (for heart rate programs).

A1. DATA DISPLAY: Displays the data input and value. B1. ARROW BUTTONS: Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust workout values/goals such as length of workout, weight, age, distance, target heart rate, and resistance level. Press ENTER (E1) to record the selection. C1. NUMERIC KEYPAD: Another way for the user to enter workout parameters. Key in the desired number on the keypad and press ENTER (E1). D1. CLEAR: Clears any entry and returns to the default setting. E1. ENTER: Press this button after entering a value to register the value and move to the next screen.

* 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.

10

F1. GOAL TYPE: Select a desired workout goal type. Choose from Time, Distance, Calories, Pace, Time in Zone or Marathon Mode (if enabled). G1. BACK: Returns to the previous screen. H1. START OVER: Exits workout setup and returns to the Home Screen.

TYPES OF WORKOUT SETUP SCREENS GOAL SETUP SCREENS •

Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout) allowing the user to set a predetermined length of time for the workout. Users may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, PACE, or TIME IN ZONE (only available for heart rate programs). For Distance, Calories, Pace, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how long it takes to reach the goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose COOL DOWN from the bottom of the display to go immediately into the cool down phase, or choose CHANGE WORKOUT to access a different program. For more information, see Section 4.2 titled Using the Workouts. For information on how to set, and get maximum benefit from, these type of workout goals consult a Personal Trainer. For further information on Zone Training, see Section 3.1 titled Why Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise?

•

Level: Choose the programmed resistance level of the workout. Levels range from 1 to 25 (0 to 25 with optional external power supply).

•

Target Heart Rate*: (heart rate workouts only) Gives a recommended heart rate according to age. For Fat Burn, the target heart rate is computed at 65% of the theoretical maximum† heart rate. For Cardio, the target heart rate is computed at 80%. For more information on Target Heart Rate, see Section 3 titled Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise.

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 a higher percentage of calories from fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike features five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training exercise: • FAT BURN • CARDIO

• HEART RATE HILL • HEART RATE INTERVAL

• EXTREME HEART RATE

Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4, The Workouts. NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program. The Heart Rate Zone Training workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the optional telemetry chest strap, or grip the Lifepulse sensors, to enable the bike’s on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the resistance level to maintain the target heart rate* based on the actual heart rate. To change the target heart rate* during a workout, simply enter a new target heart rate by typing in the desired number on the numeric keypad or by pressing the Heart Rate button on the Touchscreen. To switch between programs during a workout, use the CHANGE WORKOUT button.

* 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.

HEART RATE MONITORING

THE LIFEPULSETM DIGITAL HEART RATE MONITORING SYSTEM The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system. For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout: •

Grasp the sensors (A) on the armrests or handlebars firmly.

•

Hold each sensor at the horizontal or vertical midpoint.

•

Keep hands steady and in place.

The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors. The following factors may affect a Lifepulse reading: incorrect hand placement on the sensors, upper body activity, lotion or dirt on hands, and excessive or insufficient pressure used when gripping the sensors

THE OPTIONAL HEART RATE CHEST STRAP The Life Fitness Lifecycle Exercise Bike is equipped with Polar® telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the bike console. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap is optional. To order, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services (refer to page 1 for contact information). See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing. The transmitter strap delivers the most accurate heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. However, it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing. If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them.

NOTE: If the Lifepulse system sensors are grasped while the chest strap is worn, and if the signals from the sensors are valid, the on-board computer uses the sensor signals for measuring the heart rate instead of those transmitted with the chest strap.

THE WORKOUTS

4.1

WORKOUT OVERVIEWS

The following workouts are preprogrammed for the Inspire LCD console on the 95C and 95R Lifecycle Exercise Bikes. 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. To change the level, use the LEVEL ARROW keys or the NUMERIC KEYPAD to enter a higher or lower level number. After the workout has been in progress for one minute, the touchscreen displays “ENTER WEIGHT FOR METS DISPLAY”. Press this button and use the numeric keypad or the UP and DOWN arrows to enter weight. Weight must be entered for METs to be computed and displayed.

CLASSIC WORKOUTS CLASSIC workouts are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following workouts may be accessed with this button: MANUAL is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level or speed at any time. RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression. HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. AEROBICS is a workout that prompts the user to switch continuously between high and low pedaling speeds. The speed intervals alternate in a pattern that promotes a build-up in the intensity of the workout, followed by a builddown in intensity.

HEART RATE + WORKOUTS HEART RATE + workouts are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following workouts may be accessed with this button: FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of calories from fat. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. The workout program automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum†. CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardiovascular benefits and total calories burned. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. The workout program automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum†. HEART RATE HILL takes the user through three different hills based on the target heart rate*. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously. HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between a hill and a valley based on the target heart rate*. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously. EXTREME HEART RATE is an intense workout for more experienced users. It is designed to get the heart rate up and down as quickly as possible. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously.

HILL + WORKOUTS HILL + are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following workouts may be accessed with this button: AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical areas. FOOTHILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels. KILIMANJARO is a hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then gradually decline. CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.

ADVANCED WORKOUTS ADVANCED WORKOUTS are customized workouts designed for the advanced user not used in connection with a personal trainer. These workouts include: LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST estimates cardiovascular fitness compared to other people of the same age and gender. MILITARY

MILITARY FIT TESTS NAVY PHYSICAL READINESS TEST (PRT) is a 12-minute test that can be used as a low impact alternative to the Navy 1.5 mile (2.4 km) run. This program is designed to use caloric expenditure and body weight to output a corresponding 1.5 mile run time to the workout selected. Ratings are then provided using age, gender, and elevation of the test site. AIR FORCE PHYSICAL READINESS TEST (PRT) is a 1.5 mile (2.4 km) physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness.

CREATE YOUR OWN CREATE YOUR OWN workouts enable the user to design personalized workouts based on LEVEL INTERVAL or on HEART RATE INTERVAL. Users enter a total workout time and select the number of intervals in their workout (30 interval maximum). The time of each interval is determined by dividing the total workout time by the number of intervals. Heart rate or level (depending on workout type) can also be selected for each interval. Users cannot name or save Create Your Own Workouts. CREATE YOUR OWN WORKOUTS may be disabled through the manager’s configuration screen (See Section 5.2 Configuration Menu, Manager’s Configuration 2, Create Your Own Configuration, for details). Users cannot name and save their workout.
