This section lists the Life Fitness Stairclimber pre-programmed workouts. For more detailed infor-
mation, see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts.
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps involved in
selecting a specific workout. Once QUICK START is selected, a constant-level workout begins.
The intensity level does not change automatically.
MANUAL is a workout in which the intensity level does not change automatically.
FAT BURN is a lower-intensity workout for burning the body's fat reserves. The user must grasp
the Lifepulse system sensors continuously or wear a heart rate chest strap. The workout auto-
matically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at
65 percent of the theoretical maximum
HILL is an interval-training workout combining "hills" and "valleys" of different intensity levels,
which is proven to provide effective, time-efficient cardiovascular results.
RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no
regular pattern or progression to challenge the user.
CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits
and maximum fat burning. The user must grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously or
wear a heart rate chest strap. The workout automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the
actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum.
ZONE TRAINING are workouts that target specific ranges, or zones, for maintaining a heart rate
to achieve maximum exercise results. Zone Training workouts include:
HEART RATE HILL
rate*. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse
HEART RATE INTERVAL
rate*. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse
EXTREME HEART RATE
designed to get the heart rate up and down as quickly as possible. The user wears a heart
rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse
Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to
†
220 minus an individual's age.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the
FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.
