  • Page 16: Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise

    Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness HeartSync™ zone training approach to exercise.

  • Page 17: Heart Rate Monitoring

    The Life Fitness cross-trainer features exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of heart rate zone training exercise: FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, EXTREME HEART RATE. Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4, titled The Workouts.

  • Page 18: Telemetry Heart Rate Monitoring

    TRAP The Life Fitness cross-trainer is equipped with Polar telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the console. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears during the workout.

  • Page 19: The Workouts

    ORKOUT VERVIEWS This section lists the Life Fitness cross-trainer’s pre-programmed workouts. For more detailed information, see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts. The following workouts are accessbile via the ARROW keys. QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout. Once the QUICK START key is pressed, a constant-level workout begins.
  • Page 20 HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate, and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 90 percent of the target. The user must grasp the Lifepulse system sensors or wear a Polar heart rate chest strap.

  • Page 21: Using The Workouts

    ORKOUT To mount the Life Fitness cross-trainer, grasp the handles, and carefully step on the pedals. To dismount, step off the pedals while still holding the handles. Then, let go of the handles. Press START or simply begin pedaling to activate the console.
  • Page 22 ENTER. Adjust the level as needed or desired during the workout. • Resistance level: The Life Fitness cross-trainer provides a selection of 20 resistance levels.

  • Page 23 ELECTING A ORKOUT Two workout mode options on the Life Fitness cross-trainer feature alternate ways to vary workouts. • Total Body Mode: This workout mode simulates the experience of working out with a trainer.

  • Page 27 EZ R ESISTANCE In this workout, the gradual changes in resistance are extremely subtle, lowering perceived exertion. The changes in resistance also are independent of user’s pedaling speed. The cardiovascular workout is effective, efficient, and enjoyable at the same time. The workout consists of one hill.
  • Page 28 ARDIO The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate is calculated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum. As with FAT BURN, the user grasps the Lifepulse system sensors or wears a Polar heart rate chest strap throughout the CARDIO workout.The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.

  • Page 29: Heart Rate Hill

    EART ORKOUT This program consists of three hills that target three heart rate goals: The first hill brings the heart rate to 90 percent of the target rate*. The second hill increases the rate to 95 percent. The third hill matches the target heart rate. The valley always is defined as 85 percent of the target.
  • Page 30 EART NTERVAL This program alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate*, and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 90 percent of the target. After a warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the goal is reached, the hill continues for three minutes.
  • Page 31 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 rate* goals as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of running sprints.
  • Page 32 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. The WORKOUT PROFILE window represents these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys. The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respiratory improvement than steady-pace training.
  • Page 33 Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE window and the chart above, represents one interval. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each workout is made up of 20 intervals, so the duration of each interval is equal to the duration of the entire workout divided by 20. 1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the Hill program to complete all four phases adequately.
  • Page 34 OTAL ORKOUT During this workout, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to emphasize different muscle groups. To emphasize upper-body muscles, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to focus on pushing and pulling the moving arms at various times. To emphasize lower-body muscles, MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to rest the hands on the stationary handlebar, thus forcing the legs to do all the work.
