    Lifepulse system sensors.The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle. The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise.
  • Page 26 Interval Training is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or stints of recovery. The heart rate should rise to the high end of the target* zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase. Cool-down is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid, and other exercise by-products, which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.
  • Page 27 EART This program combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum † (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during the workout setup. All hills and valleys are percentages of HRmax.

  • Page 28: Heart Rate Interval

    EART NTERVAL This program also combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maxi- † (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during the workout setup. The workout alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate of 80 percent of HRmax, and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 65 percent of HRmax.
  • Page 29 XTREME EART This intense, varied workout is designed to help more experienced users to break through fitness improvement plateaus. The workout alternates between two target heart rates* as quickly as possi- ble. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. The user must wear a chest strap or grip the Lifepulse sensors throughout the workout.
  • Page 30 ATTS 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 effort.
  • Page 31 Please note that the estimated VO2 max scores achieved will be 10 percent to15 percent lower on stationary exercise bikes than those achieved on other Life Fitness cardiovascular equipment. Stationary cycling has a higher rate of isolated muscle fatigue of the quadriceps when compared to walking/running on a treadmill, climbing on a stairclimber, or utilizing a cross-trainer.
