2THE DISPLAY CONSOLE
2.1 DISPLAY CONSOLE OVERVIEW
The computerized display console on the Life Fitness cross-trainer allows the user to tailor a workout to personal fitness abilities
and goals and to monitor progress. With this easy-to-use console, the user can track fitness improvement from one workout to
the next.
10

2.2 DISPLAY CONSOLE DESCRIPTIONS
This section lists and describes the functions for the keys and display windows on the console. See Section 4, titled
The Workouts, for detailed information on using the console to set up workouts.
AENTER: Press this key after entering each value, such as weight or workout time, when prompted by console
display messages.
BARROW KEYS: Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to change workout parameters displayed on the console,
such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and intensity level. Pressing these keys during a FAT
BURN, CARDIO,HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE workout increases
or decreases the target heart rate.
CQUICK START: Press this key to begin a manual workout immediately, without having to select a workout program.
Once the workout is in progress, use the ARROW KEYS to change the intensity level.
DCLEAR: Press this key, when programming a workout, to clear incorrect data, such as weight or age, before pressing
the ENTER key. Pressing CLEAR during a workout stops it immediately, at which point, the MESSAGE CENTER displays
a summary of the workout, including total time elapsed, total distance traveled, and total calories burned. Pressing CLEAR
a second time causes the MESSAGE CENTER to prompt the user for a new workout setup.
EDISPLAY LOCK: During a workout, the MESSAGE CENTER alternately displays the number of CALORIES burned
and the amount of TIME elapsed. Pressing the DISPLAY LOCK key when the MESSAGE CENTER displays either
statistic, forces the MESSAGE CENTER to display that statistic continuously throughout the workout. Pressing
DISPLAY LOCK again allows the MESSAGE CENTER to resume toggling between both statistics.
FWORKOUTS PROFILES: Press this key to select workout options:
• MANUAL • EZ RESISTANCE • CARDIO • EXTREME HEART RATE
• RANDOM • SPORTS TRAINING • HEART RATE HILL • TOTAL BODY
• HILL • FAT BURN • HEART RATE INTERVAL • LOWER BODY
11

GCOOL DOWN: workouts end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity level. Press the COOL
DOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cool Down mode. 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. The console automatically adjusts each workout’s Cool Down level
according to the individual user’s performance. Each time the user presses the COOL DOWN key, the Cool Down
duration shortens by one minute.
HWORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent the levels
of intensity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the column is proportional to the level of the intensity.
During a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE
workout, which requires the use of the Lifepulse system sensors or a Polar heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT
PROFILE window displays a heart shape to request the user’s heart rate signal. If the console does not detect a signal,
the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt, “NEED HEART RATE - USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does
not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a MANUAL workout.
IMESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a workout. During a workout,
it displays statistics about the progress of the workout:
•Level: programmed intensity level. Toggles with Heart Rate.
•Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is grasping Lifepulse system sensors or wearing the Polar
heart rate chest strap. Toggles with Level. If the on-board computer does not detect a heart rate, only Level
is displayed throughout the workout.
•Distance: the total distance traveled in miles (or kilometers if enabled).
•Speed: the pedaling speed in miles per hour.
•Calories: the number of calories burned since beginning the workout. Toggles with Time.
•Time: time elapsed since the start of the workout. Toggles with Calories.
12

If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays any or all of these three values each time the intensity level
changes during the workout:
•Calories per Hour: the rate of calories burned per hour.
•Watts: effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the mechanical rate of work.
•METs: effort level in Mets. The Met is an expression of the rate of work for the human body at rest,
or a metabolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at rest.
Note: The Watts display and the Calories Per Hour display cannot be turned on at the same time.
See Section 5, titled Optional Settings for information about enabling the MESSAGE CENTER to display these
additional settings.
JTOTAL BODY MODE: Press this key to activate a workout mode in which the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts
to vary the workload and emphasize different muscle groups during the workout. It can be used with any workout,
except for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, EXTREME HEART RATE,
and EZ RESISTANCE.
KLOWER BODY MODE: Press this key to activate a workout mode that alternates five minutes of forward motion with
two minutes of reverse motion. It can be used with any workout, except for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE
HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, EXTREME HEART RATE, and EZ RESISTANCE.
For more information about Total Body Mode and Lower Body Mode, see the topic Selecting a Workout Mode
in Section 4.2, titled, the Using the Workouts.

3HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE
3.1 WHY HEARTSYNC™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.
Zone training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or
zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness. The val-
ues within the zone depend on the workout.
NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining spe-
cific fitness goals and designing a workout program.
15
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO workout is 144.
This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

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.
During one of these workouts, grasp Lifepulse system sensors, or wear the Polar heart rate chest strap to enable the
on-board computer to monitor the heart rate. The computer automatically adjusts the resistance level to maintain the target
heart rate* based on the actual heart rate. To change the target heart rate during a workout, use the ARROW keys.
3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING
THE LIFEPULSETM DIGITAL HEART RATE MONITORING SYSTEM
The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on the Life Fitness cross-trainer.
For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout:
• Grasp the sensors (A) firmly.
• Hold each sensors at the vertical midpoint.
• Keep hands steady and in place.
The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps
the sensors.
16

A

THE POLAR®TELEMETRY HEART RATE MONITORING CHEST STRAP
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. The chest strap is included with the Life Fitness cross-trainer.
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 receiver.
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 skin. However,
it also 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 moisten them.

4THE WORKOUTS
4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS
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. The intensity level does not change automatically.
MANUAL is a workout in which the intensity level does not change automatically.
RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or
progression.
SPORT TRAINING simulates an outdoor terrain by setting various resistance levels.
EZ RESISTANCE features a gradual, subtle increase in resistance, independent of the user’s pedaling speed. A peak
in resistance is followed by an equally subtle decrease in resistance.
FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning the body’s fat reserves. The user must grasp the Lifepulse system
sensors or wear a Polar heart rate chest strap. The workout automaticaly adjusts the intensity level, 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 must grasp the Lifepulse system sensors or wear a Polar heart rate chest strap. The workout automaticaly
adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum.
HEART RATE HILL 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 rate. The valley always is
defined as 85 percent of the target. The user must grasp the Lifepulse system sensors or wear a Polar heart rate chest strap.
18

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.
EXTREME HEART RATE alternates between two target heart rate goals as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of
running sprints. The user must grasp the Lifepulse system sensors or wear a Polar heart rate chest strap.
HILL is an interval-training workout combining “hills” and “valleys” of different intensity levels, which is proven to provide
effective, time-efficient cardiovascular results.
AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical areas.
CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.
FOOT HILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.
INTERVAL is a Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a peak and
then gradually decline.
KILIMANJARO is a Hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then gradual-
ly decline.
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.
TOTAL BODY WORKOUT simulates the experience of working with a personal trainer. The MESSAGE CENTER dis-
plays prompts at different times to emphasize pushing, pulling, total body, lower body, speed changes, and
forward/reverse motion. This versatile workout promotes maximum cross-training benefits.
LOWER BODY WORKOUT continuously alternates five minutes of forward motion with two minutes of backward motion to
cross-train different muscle groups.
MY WORKOUTS is not a workout program but a feature that allows the user to pre-set up to seven workouts with personal
setup information, such as age or level, and then store the workouts in the console memory.
