7 HOW TO LEVEL THE LIFECYCLE 9500HR AEROBIC TRAINER Depending on the surface you place your Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer on 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. If it rocks, it isn’t level. To level it, rotate the foot on the stabilizer bar that appears to be higher counter-clockwise (as viewed from above) with your finger until the bike is level. Leveling the Lifecy

8 HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity, and the Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer is no exception. If the seat is too low, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles; if the seat is too high, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees. To adjust the seat properly, sit on it and place the balls of your feet on the pedals. An optimum position will allow you to move thr

9 HOW TO ADJUST THE FOOTSTRAPS The pedals on your Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer have nylon-reinforced rubber footstraps 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. Once the slotted end is removed, choose a width that will feel the most com- fortable while you are riding, reinsert the knob through the slot and pull the strap up. The strap will click when it locks in place. A

13 ™ HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING Research shows that exercising within a specific heart rate range is the optimal way to both monitor your exercise intensity and achieve maximum results. That’s the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training approach to exercise. 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 by the American College of Sports Medicine’s “Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescriptio

16 The Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer is a “constant work” machine; in the Hill, Random and Manual programs, pedal resistance automatically compensates for changes in RPM. In other words, the slower you pedal, the greater the resistance; conversely, the faster you pedal the less resistance you feel*. The distance you trav- el will remain the same; pedaling faster will not bring you to the end of a program sooner nor burn more calories, assuring you of a consistent workout. If you prefer to be
