When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter age, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed
age to the correct value (or key in the correct value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD) and press ENTER.
Life Fitness Cross-Trainer workout programs that set a target heart rate* zone first calculate the user's theoretical maxi-
mum heart rate † by subtracting the user's age from the number 220. The programs then calculate the target zone as a
percentage of the theoretical maximum.

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed intensity level or
target heart rate* to the desired value (or key in the desired value with the NUMERIC keypad) and press ENTER. Adjust the
level as needed or desired during the workout.
• Resistance level: The Life Fitness Cross-Trainer provides a selection of 25 resistance levels. The resistance level
appears in the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rows of lights arranged in columns. Selecting a low intensity level at
first is recommended. As physical conditioning improves, the levels can increase.
• Target heart rate: Programs that calculate a target heart rate base this number on the age of the user and the type of
workout. The user accepts or adjusts the rate when setting up the workout. During the workout itself, the program
reads the heart rate, which is transmitted via the heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors; it uses this
data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate increases the intensity of the cardiovascular exercise.

† 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.
