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 Lifecycle 9500HR trainer. HOW TO ADJUST THE SEATA 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 through the bottom of the stroke without locking your knees or shifting in the seat (your knees should have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension). If the seat needs to be adjusted, dismount the bike and pull the spring-loaded adjusting pin located on the back of the seat post. Slide the seat post up or down as necessary to the proper position and release the pin to complete engagement. Check the seat height again and readjust it if necessary.Adjusting the seatCAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the seat while you are pedaling the bike.

Doing so or failing to insert the seat pin completely may result in an uncomfortable workout or cause injury. HOW TO ADJUST THE FOOTSTRAPSThe 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 comfortable while you are riding, reinsert the knob through the slot and pull the strap up. The strap will click when it locks in place.Adjusting the footstrapsCAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the pedal footstraps while you are pedaling the bike. Doing so may result in an uncomfortable workout or cause injury. THE DISPLAY CONSOLEThe Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer’s display console is easy to use, and it allows you to follow your progress as you ride.

A flashing heart will also appear at the conclusion of the Fit Test, again prompting you to grasp the Lifepulse sensors (only if you are not wearing a heart rate monitor chest strap.D. Q UICK S TART I NSTRUCTIONS: Tells you how to get right into a workout on your Lifecycle 9500HR exercise bike. Just press start and enter an effort level!

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 Prescription” as 220 minus your age).

HOW TO USE THE LIFEPULSE DIGITAL HEART RATE SENSORSThe patented Lifepulse digital heart rate sensors are the default heart rate monitoring system on the Lifecycle 9500HR exercise bike. To use the Lifepulse sensors, simply grasp the stainless steel sensors in the handlebars when the display console prompts you to do so or anytime you wish to check your heart rate. There are four sensors, two on each side of the handlebar, and you must make contact with all four to obtain your heart rate. The console will display your ECG-accurate heart rate in 10 to 30 seconds.HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE ZONE TRAINER CHEST STRAPWet the electrodes of the transmitter (the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap) and 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 will mum heart rate reading when trodes are directly in contact It will also, however, function through wet, lightweight clothing. The key is forthe electrodes to remain wet so that they can conduct the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver.If it becomes necessary to remoist-en the chest strap transmitter, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from thechest to expose the two electrodes, then moisten them in this position.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS& PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONSSelecting a workout program on your Life Fitness aerobic trainer is easy. 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 travel 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 “rewarded” for going faster, try the new Race mode option.NOTE: Mileage readings are arbitrary and should not be used to compare workouts in different programs. Total calories burned is the best measure of the amount of work performed in any given workout.This is true as long as you pedal faster than 65 RPM. Below 65 RPM, the resistance will drop off to the point where you can continue pedaling at a pace sufficient to maintain power to the console.The Race OptionFormerly a program in and of itself, the Race mode now allows you to vary your pedal resistance to simulate the feel of an actual 12-speed racing bike in the Hill, Random and Manual programs.

Turn the Race mode on at any time and the Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer’s 12 effort levels are transformed into the “gears” of a high performance road racing bicycle! The pedal resistance will change with the speed at which you pedal, enhancing your workout enjoyment while also allowing you greater control over the program’s intensity (the greater the resistance, the more LEDs will be illuminated). The distance you travel and the calories you burn during your workout will also vary with your pedal speed. TO BEGIN ANY LIFECYCLE 9500HRAEROBIC TRAINER WORKOUT:l First adjust the seat position and make certain the seat pin is properly locked and the bike is level.l Begin pedaling and press the START key.l Select a workout program by pressing the ts keys until the program you want appears in the message center and then press ENTER (or wait 10 seconds and your selection will be automatically entered).l You can “ Quick Start” a Manual program workout without selecting a program. To do so, just begin pedaling, press START, and input an effort level between 0 (easiest) and 12 (most difficult).HILLRANDOMMANUAL OR FIT TEST0003-42-316-75-628-96-739-107-9101112Effort level equivalency tableREMEMBER – YOU CAN CHANGE EFFORT LEVELS AT ANY TIME DURING YOUR WORKOUT. BY SIMPLY KEYING IN A NEW LEVEL ON THE KEYPAD OR THE ARROWS!.Except in the Fat Burn and Cardio programs, in which you may change your target heart rate.

HILL PROGRAMl After selecting a Hill workout, you will be asked to enter your desired workout time in minutes. Use the numeric keypad to input a number from 1-99 minutes (or the maximum time preprogrammed on unit) and press ENTER.l Once you have selected the duration of your Hill workout the program will begin. Just choose an effort level between 0 (easiest) and 12 (hardest).The Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer’s patented Hill program offers the ideal configuration for interval training: periods of intense aerobic activity separated by regular intervals of lower-intensity exercise.

Interval training programs have been scientifically demonstrated to yield greater cardiorespiratory improvement than steady-pace training.Not only does the Hill program offer the challenge of alternating periods of high and low intensity, but the levels of intensity become progressively more difficult during the course of the program. Because you have the option of working out in a Hill program for anywhere from 1 to 99 minutes, and because the Hill program is composed of four distinct phases, the program must be structured differently to accommodate the entire array of program durations. Longer workouts add more hills.Each Hill program session comprises the following phases:(1) Warm-up, (2) Plateau, (3) Interval Training, and (4) Cool-down.l Warm-up: Gradually brings your heart rate into the lower portion of your target heart rate zone, increasing respiration and blood flow to working muscles.l Plateau: Brings your heart rate into your target zone. Check your heart rate at the end of the plateau period to ensure that you have entered your target heart rate zone.l Interval Training: A series of hills and valleys.

During this portion of your workout, you will be confronted with sets of four successively steeper hills, each separated from the next by a valley, or recovery period. Check your heart rate at the end of the interval training period to ensure that you have stayed within your target zone.l Cool-down: The cool-down allows your body to begin removing accumulated by-products of exercise, such as lactic acid, which build up in muscles during your workout and contribute to muscle soreness. The Hill diagram below shows the effort level and recovery periods encountered during a Hill workout. Effort and recovery periods are simulated on the display console by columns of lights in the Program Profile window. The columns move from right to left during the workout.

RANDOM AND MANUAL PROGRAMSl Once you have selected either the Random or Manual program your workout will begin. All you need to do is choose an effort level between 0 (easiest) and 12 (hardest).Random ProgramThe computer randomly selects hill and valley terrain which varies with each and every workout, resulting in more than one million combinations. Because resistance levels are greater in this program than in the Hill program, it is recommended that the Random program be set one or two levels lower than the level of intensity you would normally select on the Hill program.Manual ProgramThe Manual program provides steady-pace exercise equal to that of the highest hill encountered on the Hill program at the same level of effort (except at level 0, when the resistance equals that of the lowest valley). Because of the greater resistance levels of this program, it is recommended that you set the Manual program about two to three levels lower than the level of effort that you would normally select on the Hill program.You can design your own interval training program using the Manual program by varying the level of effort during the course of your workout. To do so, select a high level of resistance until you reach the upper end of your target heart rate zone, then ride at a lower effort level until your heart rate drops to the bottom of your target zone. Then increase the level of effort again until you are back to the upper portion of your target zone.

By repeating this process, you will actually be creating your own hills and valleys.FAT BURN AND CARDIO PROGRAMSl Enter your age using the numeric keypad to receive your computed target heart rate. Press ENTER to accept the calculated target or input your own target heart rate using the keypad and press ENTER. L The message center will prompt you to enter a time from 1 – 99 minutes.

Key in the time you want your workout to last and press ENTER.l Finally, select a warm-up effort level from 0 – 12. The effort level will be displayed in the Data Entry Window (you do not need to press ENTER) and your heart rate management program will begin a three minute warm-up at this level or until you reach your target heart rate, whichever comes first, followed by the actual heart rate controlled portion of the program.The Fat Burn and Cardio heart rate management programs work by adjusting the resistance of the Lifecycle 9500HR exercise bike in response to your heart rate. These two programs use the technology of heart rate telemetry or Lifepulse digital sensors to monitor your heart rate and automatically adjust the work load to maintain your target heart rate. The end result is a perfect workout every time, eliminating both underand over-training.On the Lifecycle 9500HR aerobic trainer, the Fat Burn program will maintain your heart rate at 65% of your theoretical maximum heart rate (defined by the American College of Sports Medicine’s “Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription” as 220 minus your age), or another target heart rate that you enter. Pedal resistance will automatically adjust to maintain the target heart rate. Exercising at 65% of your theoretical maximum heart rate maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by accessing the body’s fat stores for fuel.The Cardio program is virtually identical to the Fat Burn program.

The only difference is that your target heart rate is calculated at 80% of your theoretical maximum to accentuate cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier work load on the heart muscle. FIT TEST PROGRAMThe Lifecycle 9500HR exercise bike Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile aerobic trainer.

Your Fit Test score is also an approximate measure of your VO 2 max; think of it as your relative fitness score. Use the Fit Test to monitor improvement in your endurance every four to six weeks.l After selecting the Fit Test program using the ts keys, the message center will ask for your age ( AGE). Use the numeric keys to input your age and press ENTER.l After entering your age, you will be asked for your weight: Lb (for weight in pounds on English units) or Kg (for weight in kilograms on metric units). Use the numeric keys to input your weight and press ENTER.l After entering your weight, the message center will prompt you to select your gender. Press the ts keys to do so, s for male or t for female and thenpress ENTER.l Finally, consult the Activity Levels chart on the following page for the effort level ( L) you should take the Fit Test at based on your age, gender and activity level. Use the numeric keys to enter the corresponding level.After you have completed the five-minute Fit Test, your heart rate will automatically be picked up from your chest strap by the on-board computer, or you will be prompted to grasp the Lifepulse sensors.

Your Fit Test score and ranking will be displayed. RECOMMENDED FIT TEST LEVELSAGE (years)WEIGHTINACTIVEACTIVEVERY ACTIVE 210456453450 + 210123NOTE: The activity levels above are based on a 170-pound (77-kilogram) man and a 125-pound (57-kilogram) woman. If your weight varies from these values substantially, you may wish to increase or decrease the indicated levels accordingly.If your heart rate is below 65% of your theoretical maximum heart rate at the conclusion of the Fit Test, retake the test at a higher level.The Fit Test is an estimate of your submaximal VO 2, which is a measurement of how well the heart supplies oxygenated blood to the exercising muscles and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. This measurement is generally regarded by physicians and exercise physiologists as the standard for aerobic capacity. FIT TEST TIPS:The computer will not accept:l heart rates less than 90 or greater than 199 beats per minute;lbody weights less than 74 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 399 pounds (189 kg);lages below 10 or over 99 years;l data input that exceeds human potential.If you make an error when entering any Fit Test data, you can correct itby pressing CLEAR-PAUSE, inputting the correct information, and pressing ENTER.It is important for you to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOURZONE TRAINER CHEST STRAPYOUR HEART RATE READING IS ERRATIC OR ABSENT ENTIRELY.4 Repeat the electrode wetting procedure (see How to Use the Zone Trainer ® Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap). The electrodes must be wet to pick up and transmit accurate heart rate readings.4 Make sure the electrodes are flat against the skin and the Life Fitness logo is right side up.4 Wash your belt transmitter regularly with mild soap and water.4 Make sure your chest strap transmitter is within three feet (one meter) of the heart rate receiver.4 Make sure the bike is not located too close to other Lifecycles (the bikes must be at least 42 inches apart, center-to-center).4 The estimated battery life of the chest strap transmitter is 2500 hours of use. If your chest strap transmitter battery is depleted, contact Life Fitness After Market Services at (800) 351-3737 for instructions on how to have your chest strap replaced.YOUR HEART RATE READING IS ERRATIC OR EXTREMELY HIGH (ABOVE 200).4 When exercising with your Life Fitness Zone Trainer heart rate monitor you may come within range of electromagnetic signals strong enough to cause abnormally elevated heart rate readings. Possible sources of such signals include television sets and/or antennas, computers, cars, high voltage power lines and motor driven exercise equipment.

Another heart rate transmitter within three feet (one meter) may also cause abnormal heart rate readings.NOTE: THERE IS A VERY SMALL – LESS THAN ONE PERCENT – PORTION OF THE GENERAL POPULATION WHOSE HEART RATES CAN NOT BE DETECTED BY HEART RATE MONITORS, INCLUDING ECGs. THIS PHENOMENON IS CALLED BIOPOTENTIAL AND IS EXTREMELY RARE.
