  • Page 10 NSTRUCTIONS This Life Fitness product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching or using the equip- ment.
  • Page 11 OWER WITCH Located on the front panel at the base of the treadmill, the ON/OFF switch has two positions - "I" (one) for ON and "0" (zero) for OFF.

  • Page 17: Heartsync™ 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 approach to exercise. HeartSync identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness.

  • Page 24 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.
  • Page 25 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. 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 26 ANDOM The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million differ- ent patterns are possible. ANUAL During a MANUAL workout, the program does not automatically change speed, incline, or time duration, as selected by the user during the workout setup.
  • Page 27 ORKOUTS During the setup for each of these workouts, the treadmill computer calculates a target heart rate* based on age and the workout type. The MESSAGE CENTER displays this target rate and prompts the user to accept or change it. The work- out program uses this value as the upper heart rate within the target zone.
  • Page 28 Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the treadmill to reach and maintain the target. This system eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel.
  • Page 29 EART This program combines the standard HILL workout profile with a 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. After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal.
  • Page 30 EART NTERVAL This program also combines the standard HILL workout profile with a HeartSync workout. It 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 tar- get.
  • Page 31 That target rate is maintained for a stabilizing period. Then, the incline is reduced to 0 percent, and the treadmill slows to the walk speed.
  • Page 32 INUTE This workout is ideal for beginning exercisers or regular walkers. At the start of the program, the treadmill runs for five minutes at 1 MPH below the selected speed. Afterward, the program automatically adjusts the speed in .5 MPH incre- ments, and changes the incline percentage as seen in the table below.
  • Page 33 This workout is an ideal next step for users who no longer derive a sufficient workout from the 30-MINUTE WALK pro- gram. At the start of the program, the treadmill runs for five minutes at 1.5 MPH below the selected speed. Afterward, the program automatically adjusts the speed and changes the incline percentage as seen in the table on the following page.
  • Page 34 45-M (T3-5 O INUTE ROSS RAIN Cross-training is a complete, varied workout designed to reduce the risk of stress-related injuries that can result from workouts limited to one, repetitive activity.

  • Page 38 The treadmill computer memory can save at least 20 changes. When memory is used up, and the computer cannot save any further changes, the console emits two short beeps at the user's next attempt to save a change, indicating that no more changes can be saved.
  • Page 39: Selecting An Intensity Level

    The steps for setting up a HILL or RANDOM workout include selecting a level. The word "level" refers to a range of incline percentages. The treadmill features 20 levels, with Level 1 having the lowest average incline grade and Level 20 having the highest.
  • Page 40 In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed in the HILL workout description in Section 4. It is possible to change the incline percentage manually, but the change remains in effect only for the duration of the hill in question. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline percentage changes automatically to match that hill.
