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 aect 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 benets
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 eort, requiring the heart to beat
at or near maximum capacity. Training bouts include intense incline or
sprinting, beneting 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. Benets 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 benets 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 dicult and breathing is elevated.
Benets 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. Benets 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 diculty
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 eectively 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 prole. This provides a better workout,
since it uses a wider range of muscles and dierent intensities, a well-known
benet 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 prole.
Changing the resistance level changes which muscles are used. Adjust the
resistance level to your personal preferences, or to target dierent muscles.
Long Slow Distance
(40 minutes default)
This prole has small changes,
allowing for a more consistent style of eort, 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 prole purposefully
has no predictable pattern to its prole.
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 eort comprising the majority of the prole.
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 dicult 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 prole. 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

Uphill Climb
(30 minute default)
Gradually increases intensity
throughout the entire workout.
