WATTS
This workout targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Watts. A Watt is a unit of power that measures the
amount of mechanical work required to operate a device, such as a Lifecycle exercise bike. It is roughly equal to .25
calories per hour. The workout program automatically alters the intensity level to maintain the appropriate rate of ef-
fort. By default, this workout is turned off. For information on making it available, see Section 5, titled System Menu.
METS
This workout targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of METs. A MET is a unit of measurement used to express
the metabolic rate of work (oxygen consumption per unit of body weight) required to perform a task. One MET is ap-
proximately equal to a person’s metabolism when seated and relaxed. By default, this workout is turned off. For infor-
mation on making it available, see Section 5, titled Optional Settings.
AEROBICS TRAINER
In this workout, the MESSAGE CENTER continuously prompts the user to switch between a high pedaling speed and
a low pedaling speed. These speed intervals alternate in a pattern that promotes a “build-up” in the intensity of the
workout, followed by a “build-down” in intensity.
The workout consists of 32 intervals, which are divided into groups of four. In the first group, the user encounters one
fast interval followed by three slow intervals. The second group features two fast intervals followed by two slow inter-
vals. The third group features three fast intervals followed by one slow interval. The fourth group, which is the most
intense point of the workout, features four fast intervals. Afterward, the workout decreases in intensity, concluding with
a group of four, consecutive, slow intervals. See the chart below:
The length of the intervals depends on the workout duration selected by the user.
