This Operation Manual describes the functions of the following product::

Life Fitness Treadmill:

Platinum Club Series Treadmill

See "Specifications" in this manual for product specific features.

Statement of Purpose: The treadmill is an exercise machine that enables users to walk or run, in place, on a moving sur-

face.

Health-related injuries may result from incorrect or excessive use of exercise equipment. Life Fitness STRONG-

LY recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before undertaking an exercise program, par-

ticularly if the user has a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease, or is over the age of 45, or

smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or has not exercised regularly in the past year.

If, at any time while exercising, the user experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, he or she

must stop immediately.

Des problèmes de santé peuvent être causés par une utilisation incorrecte ou excessive de l'équipement. Life

Fitness recommande FORTEMENT de consulter un médecin pour subir un examen médical complet avant de

commencer tout programme d'exercice, et tout particulièrement si l'utilisateur a des antécédents familiaux d'hy-

pertension ou de troubles cardiaques, s'il a plus de 45 ans, s'il fume, s'il a du cholestérol, s'il est obèse ou n'a

pas fait d'exercice régulièrement depuis un an.

Si, pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, l'utilisateur ressent un malaise, des vertiges, des douleurs ou des difficultés

à respirer, il doit s'arrêter immédiatement.

GETTING STARTED

1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using the treadmill.

OPERATION

•

Always follow the console instructions for proper operation.

Never insert objects into any opening in this product. If an object should drop inside, turn off the power, unplug the

power cord from the outlet, and carefully retrieve it. If the item cannot be reached, contact Life Fitness Customer

Support Services.

•

Do not reach into, or underneath, the unit or tip it on its side during operation.

Never place liquids of any type directly on the unit, except in an accessory tray or holder. Containers with lids are

recommended.

•

Do not use this product in bare feet. Always wear shoes. Wear shoes with rubber or high-traction soles. Do not use

shoes with heels, leather soles, cleats or spikes. Make sure no stones are embedded in the soles.

•

Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, and towels away from moving parts.

Handrails may be held to enhance stability as needed, but are not for continuous use.

Never mount or dismount the treadmill while the running belt is moving. Use the handrails whenever additional sta-

bility is required. In case of an emergency, such as tripping, grasp the handrails, and place the feet on the side plat-

forms.

•

Never walk or jog backwards on the treadmill.

The system issues immobilization of the treadmill when a pre-defined hard key sequence has been activated by the

user. This sequence is currently defined as 3 STOP key presses followed by 3 SPEED DOWN ARROW key presses.

To prevent false toggling of the Immobilized feature, this sequence should be limited to a pre-defined time period

(i.e. sequence must be done in a 5-10 second period). Sequence should also enforce that only PRESSED events

are used (i.e. if HELD or RELEASED are detected during the sequence, then the sequence is rejected). Once the

Workout Logic sees this event, it toggles the Immobilization configuration item, saves it in the registry, and then

issues an ImmobilizationStatus event to the system.

F. LANGUAGE SELECTION: Allows users to change the language of the interface to one of thirteen possible lan-

guages. Select the appropriate language flag from the bottom of the screen.

G. MORE LANGUAGES: Select this button to see additional language flags.

See Section 5.2, Configuration Menu, Manager’s Configuration 1, Language, for language setup details.

2) CONTROL PANEL

The Control Panel allows the user to control workout and media parameters without leaving the Workout Progress

screen.

H. ARROW KEYS: When in the workout phase, the illuminated UP and DOWN arrow keys are used in combination

with the Touchscreen Display. These keys allow the user to make changes to a workout goal during the workout

setup. Each set of arrow keys controls the goal located directly above it on the Touchscreen Display.

Changeable information (i.e. a workout goal) either appears as a button (Time, Level, Incline, Target Heart Rate*,

and Speed) or is accessible through CHANGE WORKOUT, CHANGE GOAL (Calories, Distance, and for heart rate

programs, Time in Zone). Workout statistics are not changeable.

For example, use the illuminated arrow keys under ELAPSED TIME (a workout goal) to change the goal time for

the session.

I. COOL DOWN: Workout programs end automatically in a cool down phase, which lowers the intensity level. In this

phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exercise, which

build up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle soreness.

Press the illuminated key under COOL DOWN to enter the cool down stage at any point during the workout. Each work-

out’s cool down level is automatically adjusted according to the individual user’s performance. (Cool down times are pre-

set in proportion to the duration of a workout.) The cool down time can be changed by using the corresponding arrow

keys on the control panel. At the end of cool down, or after pressing the END WORKOUT key, a workout summary box

appears.

J. PAUSE: Press the illuminated key below PAUSE to stop the belt and hold the current workout. A RESUME WORK-

OUT button and EXIT button appear on the Touchscreen. Continue the workout by selecting RESUME WORKOUT

or end the workout by selecting EXIT.

K. MEDIA: Press the illuminated key next to MEDIA to access the following options: Life Fitness Attachable Television and

iPod.

L. VOLUME: Volume control for the optional Life Fitness Attachable TV and iPod. Press the illuminated UP and

DOWN arrow keys next to the volume icon to adjust volume.

* 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 work-

out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.

HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE

3.1 WHY 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 Heart Rate Zone Training approach to

exercise.

Zone Training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fit-

ness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum^†(HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The Life

Fitness Treadmill features five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone

Training exercise:

• FAT BURN

• CARDIO

• HEART RATE HILL

• EXTREME HEART RATE

• HEART RATE INTERVAL

Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4, The Workouts.

NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.

The Heart Rate Zone Training workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the optional telemetry chest strap, or grip the

Lifepulse sensors, to enable the treadmill’s on-board computer to monitor the heart

rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the incline level to main-

tain the target heart rate* based on the actual heart rate.

To change the target heart rate during a workout, simply enter a new target heart

rate by typing in the desired number on the numeric keypad or by pressing the Heart

Rate button on the Touchscreen.

To switch between programs during a workout, use the CHANGE WORKOUT

button.

^†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.

3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING

THE LIFEPULSE SYSTEM

To use the treadmill’s Lifepulsesystem to check the heart rate during a workout, grasp the stainless steel sensors on the

Ergo^TMfront handlebar. Two sensors are located on each of the handlebars. Contact must be maintained with all four

sensors to obtain a heart rate. The console displays a heart rate within 20 to 30 seconds of contact with the sensors.

Do not attempt to grasp the sensors at speeds above walking pace (usually above 4.5 MPH, or 7.2 KPH). For these

speeds, the use of a heart rate chest strap is recommended.

THE OPTIONAL HEART RATE CHEST STRAP

The Life Fitness Treadmill is equipped with Polar® telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed

against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the treadmill console. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the

user wears during the workout. The chest strap is optional. To order it, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services at 1-800-

351-3737.

See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on

the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiv-

er. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be

snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.

The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin.

However, it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.

If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the

chest to expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them.

During the setup of a heart rate zone training workout, the user will be required to enter a start-up speed. If a heart rate

chest strap is not detected, the maximum allowable speed is 4.5 mph. If a heart rate chest strap is detected, the maxi-

mum speed is 14 mph.

may be accessed with this button:

MANUAL is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level or speed at any time.

RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or

progression.

HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of

lower-intensity exercise.

HEART RATE + workouts are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following workouts

may be accessed with this button:

FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning the body’s fat reserves. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or

grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously. The program adjusts the intensity level through changing the incline (elevation),

based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum^†.

CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat

burning. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously. The program adjusts

the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum^†.

HEART RATE HILL takes the user through three different hills based on the target heart rate*. The user wears a

heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously.

HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between a hill and a valley based on the target heart rate*. The user wears a

heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously.

EXTREME HEART RATE is an intense workout for more experienced users. It is designed to get the heart rate up

and down as quickly as possible. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulsesensors continu-

ously.

HILL + are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following workouts may be

accessed with this button:

AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical

areas.

FOOTHILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.

KILIMANJARO is a hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then

gradually decline.

CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.

^†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 (HRmax). A 40-year-old user’s recommended THR for the HEART RATE HILL and

HEART RATE INTERVAL workouts is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The Pace Goal feature is designed to allow the user to set the pace of a workout. The user sets a pace goal during the

workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase and ends afterward. A pace

readout is displayed at the left of the screen showing numeric feedback regarding the user’s progress relating to the

selected pace. To use this feature:

1. Select a workout.

2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose MORE, select PACE, enter the desired pace goal, and select ENTER.

3. For Units, choose either ENGLISH (to set a pace speed in miles/time) or METRIC (to set a pace speed in

kilometers/time).

4. Enter the distance and time of the workout.

5. The console will calculate the pace the user must maintain to finish the workout in the desired time.

6. Select ENTER to approve the displayed pace or reenter the chosen time and distance.

7. Begin the workout.

The Distance Climbed Goal feature is designed to allow the user to set a distance climbed of a workout. The user sets

a distance climbed goal during workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down

phase and ends afterward. To use this feature:

1. Select a workout.

2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose MORE, select DISTANCE CLIMBED, enter the desired distance climbed goal,

and select ENTER.

3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.

4. Begin the workout.

The Time in Zone Goal program enhances a workout by setting a certain duration within the target heart rate* as a

workout goal. The program automatically alters the resistance to maintain a pace that will meet that objective within that

duration. Once the objective is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase. To use the Time In Zone

Goal feature:

1. Select a workout.

2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose TIME IN ZONE (some workouts require the user to choose the MORE option

first), enter the desired amount of time, and select ENTER.

3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.

4. Begin the workout.

NOTE: Time in Zone is directly correlated to fitness level. Since the program will continue to increase resistance until the

goal is met, it may be wise to start low and work towards a higher goal. Choose COOL DOWN at any time, to exit the

workout and immediately enter a cool down phase. For help setting TIME IN ZONE goals, consult a personal trainer. For

more information on Heart Rate Zone Training, see Section 3.1, Why Heart Rate Zone Training?

INTENSITY LEVEL

The Life Fitness Treadmill provides several different ways to adjust the intensity level of an workout. Press the INCLINE but-

ton on the Workout Progress Screen to use the NUMERIC KEYPAD to enter the desired level and the press ENTER. Adjust

the level as needed or desired during the workout by pressing the illuminated ARROW KEYS on the Control Panel under the

INCLINE button.

Intensity level: The Life Fitness Treadmill provides a selection of 20 intensity levels. Each level represents a range of incline

percentages. (See Section 4.4 Maximizing Workouts on a Life Fitness Treadmill for a chart showing all 20 levels.) The

Workout Profile Window displays the levels of intensity in a workout-in-progress as proportional columns. The height of

the column furthest to the left is proportional to the current level of intensity. Selecting a low intensity level at first is recom-

mended. As physical conditioning improves, the levels can increase.

* 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 work-

out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

TARGET HEART RATE

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 Polar heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors; and it uses this data to adjust the

resistance. Manually raising the rate, by pressing the HEART RATE button on the CONTROL PANEL and typing the

desired number with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, increases the intensity of the cardiovascular exercise.

4) ENTERING WORKOUT VALUES

AGE: When prompted to enter Age, use the illuminated 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 Treadmill workout programs that set a target heart rate* zone first calculate the user’s theoretical maximum

heart rate^†by subtracting the user’s age from the number 220. The programs then calculate the target zone as a per-

centage of the theoretical maximum.

WEIGHT: Select weight and press ENTER. Entering an accurate weight allows for a more accurate calorie calculation.

GENDER: Select gender and press enter. (Used in the fit test prediction equation and associated fitness rating.)

5) USING MARATHON MODE

If Marathon Mode is enabled, a Marathon Mode button will appear in the time entry screen when configuring a workout.

Selecting Marathon Mode sets the workout to an unlimited time workout. The workout can then be ended only by the

user or one of the emergency stop systems.

Within a workout, Marathon Mode can be changed by pressing the Time Key. Pressing the Time Key makes it possible

to set a time goal as long as it's not less than the time already spent in the workout. A new time goal must be set and

entered to override Marathon Mode

6) CHANGING/ENDING A WORKOUT

SWITCHING WORKOUTS “ON-THE-FLY”

It is possible during a workout, to switch to another workout program. After a switch, the console retains all the progress

information about the workout since its beginning. To change workouts “on the fly,” simply press CHANGE WORKOUT

and then choose a new workout. To switch to a new workout, and restart the progress information, choose CHANGE

WORKOUT and then RESET.

PAUSING WORKOUTS

Press the PAUSE key to stop the belt and hold the current workout. A RESUME WORKOUT button and EXIT button

appear on the Touchscreen. Continue the workout by selecting RESUME WORKOUT or end the workout by selecting

EXIT. The pause duration defaults to 1 minute (configurable by the manager), after which, the console returns to the

Home Screen. A workout can also be paused by using ZEROUT speed control. If, during a workout, a user decreases

the speed to the minimum and continues to hold the DECREASE SPEED ARROW, the speed falls to 0 (zero) MPH,

which is pause mode. The minimum speed is 0.5 MPH, unless changed in the Manager’s Configuration. See section 5.3,

Manager’s Configuration Setting 1, for more information.

^†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 work-

out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117

ENDING WORKOUTS EARLY

To end a workout early, press COOL DOWN on the Control Panel. The COOL DOWN button changes into an END

WORKOUT button. A user can stop a workout by pushing the END WORKOUT button; otherwise the cool down phase

will automatically begin. The program will designate a cool down time period in proportion to the amount of time spent in

the workout. Upon completion of cool down, a workout summary will appear, which includes the distance travelled, the

total calories burned, average heart rate, average pace, and elapsed time. To exit the workout without a cool down,

press the STOP button or select CHANGE WORKOUT, and then RESET.

WORKOUT SUMMARY

Upon ending a workout, a workout summary will appear. The following information is displayed: Average Speed,

Distance, Calories Burned, Average Heart Rate, and Elapsed Time. Users have the following three options regarding the

workout summary: save the data to a USB stick for preset workouts and workout tracking by SELECTING USB; leave

the workout summary by selecting EXIT; or increase the time the summary is shown on screen by selecting MORE

TIME. The duration of the Workout Summary screen defaults to one minute.

WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS

QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the specific steps of selecting a specific workout program.

After the QUICK START button (Touchscreen Display) or key (Activity Zone) is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins. For Calories

Burned/Calories per Hour to be computed and displayed during a workout, select the ENTER WEIGHT FOR ACCURATE CALO-

RIES button which is required to calculate these values.

The speed is set to the minimum level. To change the speed and stay in the Workout Progress Screen, press the illuminated

ARROW KEYS on the Control Panel, corresponding to the SPEED button. Speed can also be changed by touching the SPEED but-

ton on the Touchscreen Display, which accesses the NUMERIC KEYPAD.

The incline level is set to zero by default. To change the incline and stay in the Workout Progress Screen, press the illuminated

ARROW KEYS on the Control Panel, corresponding to the INCLINE button. Incline can also be changed by touching the INCLINE

button on the Touchscreen Display which accesses the NUMERIC KEYPAD.

CLASSIC WORKOUTS

M^ANUAL

The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level or speed at any time.

R^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.

H^ILL

The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense

cardiovascular exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The CLASSIC PROFILE WINDOW repre-

sents these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys. The computer-

ized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardiorespiratory improvement than

steady-pace training.

The HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The CLASSIC PROFILE WINDOW dis-

plays the progress of these phases. As noted in the descriptions below, the heart rate should be measured at two stages in the

workout to gauge its effectiveness. Wear the chest strap or continuously grip the Lifepulse handles. The Message Area does

not display a request for a heart rate measurement, as it does with CARDIO, FAT BURN and the HEART RATE ZONE

TRAINING programs.

Warm-up is a phase of low, gradually rising resistance, which brings the heart rate into the lower end of the target

zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles.

Plateau increases the intensity slightly, and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target zone.

Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.

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-prod-

ucts, which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.

Each column, as seen in the CLASSIC 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.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

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. The program, therefore, condenses a workout of this duration at various stages.

10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For every minute over 10,

each interval increases by three seconds. A 15-minute workout consists of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each.

20 to 99 minutes: All intervals last 60 seconds. If the user adds minutes to the pre-set duration while the workout is in

progress, the program adds hills and valleys that are identical to the first eight intervals of the Interval Training phase. This pat-

tern repeats until the workout is completed.

HEART RATE + WORKOUTS

F^ATBURN

The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum^†(HRmax).

Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap or grasps the Lifepulse sensors. If the user is not wearing a chest strap, the

WORKOUT PROGRESS SCREEN displays a heart shape, and the Message Area prompts the user to grasp the sensors. The

console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the treadmill to reach and maintain the tar-

get* (See note below). This workout uses the body’s fat stores and carbohydrates as sources of fuel. A high percentage of

total expended energy is from fat.

C^ARDIO

The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate* is calculated at 80 percent of the

theoretical maximum and more calories from fat are burned in this workout. The user wears a chest strap or grips the

Lifepulse system sensors. The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the

heart muscle.

NOTE: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can be only changed by the user. Change the target heart rate at any

time by using the arrow keys under the THR, or by touching the THR button to access the Target Heart Rate Workout Setup

Screen.

HEART RATE HILL

This program combines the CLASSIC 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. The workout consists of three hills that target three heart rate

goals: The first hill brings the heart rate to 70 percent of HRmax. The second hill increases the rate to 75 percent of HRmax.

The third hill matches the Target Heart Rate bringing the heart rate to 80 percent of HRmax. The valley always is defined as 65

percent of HRmax.

User Example: 80 percent of theoretical maximum (HRmax) (40 year old / 144 recommended BPM)

After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the user reaches 70

percent of HRmax, the hill continues for one minute. When the minute expires, the level decreases into a valley. Once the user's

heart rate falls to 65 percent of HRmax, the valley continues for one minute. Then, the next hill begins with its corresponding heart

rate goal. After the user completes the third hill/valley pair, the program returns to the first hill and repeats the cycle as long as the

duration allows. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase. If the heart rate goes above the theoretical

maximum for more then 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause mode. If the user does not reach a heart rate goal

after five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed, depending on whether the workout is

in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.

^†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 work-

out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117. For the CARDIO and HEART RATE HILL workouts it is 144, or 80 per-

cent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

HEART RATE INTERVAL

This workout combines the CLASSIC HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default tar-

get heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum^†(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 per-

cent of HRmax, and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 65 percent of HRmax. After a standard three-minute warm-

up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the goal is reached, the hill continues for three min-

utes. Then, the level decreases into a valley. Once the 65 percent of HRmax goal is reached, the valley continues for three

minutes, after which the next hill begins. The user's fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys encountered within

the duration. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase. If the heart rate goes above the theoreti-

cal maximum^†for more then 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause mode. If the user does not reach a

heart rate goal after five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed, depending on

whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches

the current goal.

EXTREME HEART RATE

This workout is designed to help more experienced users to break through fitness improvement plateaus. The workout alter-

nates between two target heart rates** as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. The user must

wear a chest strap or grip the Lifepulse sensors throughout the workout.

NOTE: It is recommended that users who run at speeds faster than 4.5 MPH wear the chest strap and do not use the

Lifepulse sensors.

When setting up the workout, the user enters a target heart rate and selects a walk speed and a jog speed. After a stan-

dard three-minute warm-up, the treadmill accelerates to the jog speed, and the incline increases, until the user reaches

the target heart rate goal of 85 percent of the theoretical maximum^†(HRmax). That target rate is maintained for a stabiliz-

ing period. Then, the incline is reduced to 0 percent, and the treadmill slows to the walk speed. When the heart rate falls

to the 65 percent of HRmax goal, it is maintained there for a stabilizing period. The program repeats the alternating of

speeds and incline levels, continuing this pattern throughout the duration.

heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.

^†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 (HRmax). A 40-year-old user’s recommended THR for the Heart Rate Interval

workout is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

** Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the Extreme Heart Rate workout

is 153. The workout program targets a standard 85 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.85=153.

HILL + WORKOUTS

The Life Fitness patented HILL + workouts give even more ways to vary interval training. Based on the same principles as the

CLASSIC HILL workout, Hill + workouts are customized to resemble different locations/training scenarios to add variety and

challenge to Hill workouts.

The AROUND THE WORLD workout is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various

geographical areas.

The CASCADES workout is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.

The FOOTHILLS workout is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.

The KILIMINAJARO workout is a hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak

and then gradually decline.

ADVANCED WORKOUTS

FIT TESTS

LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST

The treadmill Life Fitness Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile treadmill. The Fit Test work-

out calculates cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six

weeks. The user must grasp the hand sensors (if equipped) when prompted or wear a heart rate chest strap, as the

test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading. The workout duration will be five minutes at a 5% incline.

Immediately afterward, the console will take the user's heart rate reading, calculate a fitness score, and display the

score in the Message Area.

The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenat-

ed blood to the exercising muscles, and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. Physicians and

exercise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic capacity.

To set up the Fit Test:

Choose ADVANCED, FIT TESTS, LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST.

Go through the setup screens for the Fit Test, including Weight, Age and Gender. Press ENTER after each selec-

tion to record the entry. (Gender does not require selecting Enter afterwards.)

The setup screen for Speed will appear. (ENTER SPEED: 2-4.5 mph). Consult the following recommended fit test

level chart for an appropriate effort level based on age, gender and activity level. Press ENTER after the selection.

After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score will be displayed.

Treadmill Fit Test Level

3.2-4.8 kph

4.8-6.4 kph

NOTE: Treadmill will incline to 5% after a one minute warm-up.

Suggested exertion levels should be used as a guideline for setting up the Fit Test program. The goal is to elevate the

user's heart rate to a level that is between 60%-85% of their theoretical maximum heart rate (220-age). Within each sug-

gested range, these additional guidelines can be used:

Lower Half of Range

higher age

Upper Half of Range

lower age

lower weight

The computer will not accept:

• heart rates less than 52 or greater than 200 beats per minute

• body weights less than 75 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 400 pounds (181 kg)

• ages below 10 or over 99 years

• data input that exceeds human potential

If an error is made when entering any Fit Test data, correct it by pressing CLEAR, inputting the correct information, and

pressing ENTER.

It is important to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. Heart rate is dependent on many factors,

including:

• amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)

• time of day

• time of last meal (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)

• time since last beverage containing caffeine or alcohol, or cigarette (at least four hours is recommended)

• time since last exercised (at least six hours is recommended)

For the most accurate Fit Test results, perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and average the three scores.

NOTE: To receive a proper Fit Test score, the work done must be within a training heart rate zone that is 60 percent to

85 percent of the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax). This rate is defined by the American College of Sports

Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual's age.

At the MESSAGE CENTER prompts, enter the weight, age, gender, and desired speed, using the ARROW KEYS or the

NUMERIC KEYPAD. Press ENTER after each entry. Then, begin the workout. To ensure an accurate test score, do not

change these entries once the workout begins.

For all FITNESS TESTS except GERKIN, after the distance goal is reached, the workout program goes into a cool-down.

The duration of this phase depends on the amount of time taken to complete the test. For less than five minutes, the cool-

down is one minute. For five to 15 minutes, the cool-down is three minutes. For longer times, the cool-down is five min-

utes. The user can abort the Cool Down by pressing the STOP key. After the Cool Down is aborted or completed, the

MESSAGE AREA displays the finishing time and a point score for the PEB, Army, Air Force, and Marines tests; or a quali-

tative score, such as EXCELLENT, for the Navy test.

For the Gerkin test, the time at which the heart rate reached the target heart rate and is maintained for 15 seconds, and a

converted VO2 MAX value will be shown in the MESSAGE AREA during the workout summary.

SPORT TRAINING

SPORT TRAINING (5K) is a distance-goal workout that simulates an actual terrain with varying incline levels. It is

designed to assist runners in training for a 5-kilometer, or 3.1-mile, race.

SPORT TRAINING (10K) is a distance-goal workout that simulates an actual terrain with varying incline levels. It is

designed to assist runners in training for a 10-kilometer, or 6.2-mile, race.

SPEED TRAINING is a Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low levels very quickly to

simulate a typical speed-training workout.

SPEED INTERVAL allows the user to toggle between user defined jog and run speeds. The user can toggle the speeds

at any time during the workout, or adjust the speeds “on the fly.”

CREATE YOUR OWN

4.4 MAXIMIZING WORKOUTS ON A LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL

SELECTING A LEVEL

The steps for setting up a CLASSIC HILL, CLASSIC RANDOM, HILL +, SPORT TRAINING 5K, and SPORT TRAINING 10K

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.

LEVEL

0.0 - 1.5

0.0 - 2.2

0.0 - 2.9

0.0 - 3.6

0.0 - 4.3

0.0 - 5.0

0.0 - 5.7

0.0 - 6.4

6.5 - 12.0

7.0 - 12.7

8.0 - 13.4

8.7 - 14.1

9.0 - 15.0

Within each level are seven incline percentages, or hills. During a workout, each hill appears in the CLASSIC PROFILE win-

dow as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows within a column corresponds to an incline percentage. For

example, in Level 5, the lowest incline is 0.0 percent and is represented as one lit row. The highest incline, 4.3 percent, is rep-

resented by a column with all seven rows lit.

In the CLASSIC HILL and CLASSIC RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed in

the CLASSIC HILL workout description. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline percentage changes

automatically to match that hill.

To change levels during a workout, press the illuminated ARROW KEYS on the Control Panel under the INCLINE button.

COOL DOWN

Life Fitness' unique Cool Down Protocol automatically customizes every cool down based on each user's workout perfor-

mance. Workout performance factors, such as speed, incline, duration, and heart rate, determine the duration and inten-

sity of the cool down.

4.5 ADDITIONAL FEATURES
