THEORY OF OPERATION

The Lifecycle recumbent bikes are stationary exercise bicycles that provide a scientific method of improving body fitness and endurance through its unique “12 or 24 MINUTE RIDE TO VIGOROUS HEALTH.”

Computerized state-of-the-art electronics have been engineered to satisfy a range of personalized fitness needs of the beginner to the needs of the most advanced fitness enthusiast.

The Lifecycle concept is based on the self-motivational principle of INTERVAL TRAINING WITH PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD. During the HILL and RANDOM exercise programs, the workload against which you are pedaling is periodically changed by the built-in computer resulting in an automatic increase or decrease in pedal resistance. This simulates riding up and down virtual “hills,” which are visualized on the display console with columns of “lights” that move from right to left.

With features like the RACE program, Fit Test, level 1 through 20 resistance - almost 25% easier than the level 1 found on earlier editions of the classic Lifecycle exercise bike and much more challenging for the experienced rider. Also a seat adjustment which allows a wider range of selection to accommodate most anyone.

The ability to select a program to match your particular needs is what distinguishes Lifecycle bikes as the world’s most popular physical conditioning device. Its user-flexibility means that you will never outgrow the innumerable challenges the Lifecycle exercise bike has to offer.

The beginner starts with basic programs, then improves his level of fitness at his own rate while constantly challenging himself to the next level. For well-conditioned individuals, the advanced programs offer more difficult modes of training. In fact, many world-class athletes use Lifecycle bikes to maintain peak levels of conditioning.
