Safety Tips While in Use
• Always consult a physician before beginning an exercise program.
• If you experience chest pains, nausea, dizziness or shortness of
breath, stop exercising immediately and consult your physician before continuing. Do not wear clothing or jewelry that might catch on any part of the upright bike.
• Wear shoes with high traction rubber soles. Do not wear shoes with
heals, leather soles, cleats or spikes.
• Heart Rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Various factors,
including the user’s movement may aect the accuracy of the heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as exercise aids in determining heart rate trend.
• Over exercising may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint
stop exercising immediately.
NOTE: Read all instructions and save for future reference.

Starting an Exercise Program
Starting an exercise program can sound like a daunting task, but just remember that your main goal is to boost your health by meeting the basic physical activity recommendations.
Before you begin an exercise program, or substantially increase your level of activity, be sure to consult your primary care physician. In preparation for a visit you may also want to take the PAR-Q Assessment. The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) will help you determine your suitability for beginning an exercise program and prepare you for discussing your physical activity program with your physician.
1. Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition or that you should participate in physical activity only as recommended by a doctor?
2. Do you feel pain in your chest during physical activity?
3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?
4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness?
5. Do you ever lose consciousness?
6. Do you have a bone or joint problem that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?
7. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs for your blood pressure or a heart condition?
8. Do you know of any reason you should not participate in physical activity?
If you answered yes to one or more of the questions, if you are over 40 years of age and have been inactive or if you are concerned about your health, consult a physician before beginning an exercise program or substantially increasing your physical activity. If you answered no to each question then it’s likely you can begin an exercise program.

Heart Rate Monitoring
Seeing your heart rate while exercising will help you understand the intensity of your exercise and corresponding heart rate training zone, and predict health benets found through repeated bouts of exercise. Refer to the information below to understand your heart rate training zones:
Zone 5 — Performance Redline Zone: 90% - 100% of your Max HR
The performance zone involves extreme eort, requiring the heart to beat at or near maximum capacity. Training bouts include intense incline or sprinting, beneting speed, power, and anaerobic performance competency.
Zone 4 — Threshold Zone: 80% - 90% of your Max HR
The threshold zone involves intense jogging or sub-maximal sprinting, typically unsustainable for long periods of time. Benets include highly­elevated calorie burn, speed and power performance enhancement, improved lactate removal capabilities, and enriched heart health.
Zone 3 — Aerobic Zone: 70% - 80% of your Max HR
The aerobic zone is ideal for cardiovascular training. Workouts in this zone are more intense, involving moderate jogging. Long-term benets are improved heart health and cardiovascular performance, reductions in blood pressure and cholesterol, and increased calorie burn.
Zone 2 — Temperate Zone: 60% - 70% of your Max HR
The temperate zone consists of moderate-intensity exercise, typically as fast walking to slow jogging. Speaking is more dicult and breathing is elevated. Benets are similar to those of the healthy heart rate zone, though caloric expenditure is higher.
Zone 1 — Healthy Heart Zone: 50% - 60% of your Max HR
The healthy heart zone involves safe, low-intensity activity, like medium­to-brisk walking. Full conversations can be held, despite a gentle increase in respiration. Benets include reduced risk of heart and vascular disease, moderated blood pressure and cholesterol, and improved insulin sensitivity.

sensors
Reading Your Heart Rate
Contact Heart Rate Sensors are built into the hand grips of the R5i to monitor your heart rate during exercise. To use, grasp the sensors with a comfortable grip with the palms of your hands placed over the sensors. If the sensors are having diculty picking up your heart rate you may consider using aloe or a moisturizer on your hands, or you can warm up as you exercise to increase the moisture in your hands. Dry hands do not transfer your pulse as eectively as moist hands.
Do not squeeze tightly as this can cause your blood pressure to rise. It will take a few seconds for the console to calculate your heart rate accurately.
Chest Strap
The C5i Upright Bike has an integrated heart rate receiver built into the console. To purchase a heart rate chest strap go to
www.LifeSpanFitness.com.
The chest strap should be worn as shown.
When using a chest strap you may need to warm up rst to increase the moisture in your skin. If this doesn’t work use aloe or another moisturizer where the sensors on the chest strap are making contact with your skin.
NOTE: The heart rate monitoring system will vary due to your age,
method of use, physiology and other factors. LifeSpan cannot
guarantee the accuracy of the heart rate readings.

About Your C5i Upright Bike
Preset Programs
Preset programs automatically change the resistance level during a workout according to a preset pattern called a prole. This provides a better workout, since it uses a wider range of muscles and dierent intensities, a well-known benet in the cross-training and interval-training world.
Each preset program can be set to change the resistance level. Each has a suggested duration which can be adjusted to anywhere from 10 to 99 minutes. Two overall levels may be selected, which raises or lowers the program prole.
Changing the resistance level changes which muscles are used. Adjust the resistance level to your personal preferences, or to target dierent muscles.
Long Slow Distance
(40 minutes default)
This prole has small changes, allowing for a more consistent style of eort, maximizing the duration of your workout.
Short Interval
(20 minute default)
This has the widest variation of resistance level, and has the shortest default duration.
Moderate Interval
(30 minute default)
Smaller resistance changes than Short Interval, but greater overall duration, resulting in a longer workout.
Long Interval
(40 minute default)
The smallest resistance alterations of any of the interval workouts, allowing a longer overall duration.
15
Page 13
About Your C5i Upright Bike
Negative Interval 1
(30 minute default)
A good choice for someone new to interval training. Resistance levels decrease in the second half of the workout.
Negative Interval 2
(30 minute default)
A slightly higher-intensity version of Negative Interval 1.
Fartlek
(30 minute default)
A Fartlek is a Swedish workout that inspires improved levels of tness through unpredictable changes in programming. This prole purposefully has no predictable pattern to its prole.
Uphill Climb
(30 minute default)
A gradual increase, then corresponding decrease of resistance.
Pyramid Climb
(30 minute default)
Similar to Uphill Climb but with less frequent changes.
Plateau Climb
(40 minute default)
A higher-intensity version of Long Slow Distance, with a steady level of eort comprising the majority of the prole.
16
Page 14
About Your C5i Upright Bike
Ladder
(30 minute default)
A form of interval training with longer, increasingly-intense intervals. Each unique, altering level is designed to mimic a higher rung on a ladder. This is the most dicult of the preset programs.
Uphill Interval
(20 minute default)
Similar to Short Interval, but with more pronounced changes in intensity.
Steady Pace
(40 minute default)
Similar to Long Slow Distance, but with a lower intensity, steady prole. This is the easiest of the preset programs.
Long Slow Distance 2
(40 minute default)
Similar to Long Slow Distance, but reaches maximum intensity more rapidly.
Cardio Ride
(20 minute default)
A short, continuous workout with consistently high intensity.
Short Interval 2
(20 minute default)
Similar to Short Interval, but with a more rapid buildup to the initial interval.
17
Page 15
About Your C5i Upright Bike
Uphill Climb
(30 minute default)
Gradually increases intensity throughout the entire workout.
