Page 10 of 32

time adjustments. While creating a workout, use the left / right arrows to scroll through workout setup options, and
then use the up / down arrows to adjust the values. During a workout, use the left / right arrows to change level and

10. Enter / Start button: This button can be pressed at any time during initialization to begin a quick-start ,30 minute,
manual workout. During workout setup, this button is used as a selection key when choosing program parameters.
11. Pause / Resume button:Press this button once to pause a workout for five minutes. Press again to resume a workout.

Display
1. USB:
Note: The USB port is used for charging or software updates.
The USB icon displays whenever a USB device is plugged into the console.
2. Message center: The message center provides instructional information from the moment the first key is pressed.
The message center will coach you through workout settings, including selecting a workout and entering time, level,
and other specific information. Also, certain workout feedback like PACE and METS will display if they are turned
on in the Settings Menu.
3. Bluetooth: The Bluetooth icon displays when a compatible device is connected.
Download the LFconnect application on your smart device, locate and press Settings, enable PROXIMITY LOGIN,
and touch your smart device to the upper, right-hand corner of the console. Follow the directions on your smart
device to complete the pairing.
4. HEART RATE: The heart rate display calculates your actual heart rate in contractions or beats per minute during a
workout. You must be holding on to the contact heart rate electrodes or wearing a heart rate telemetry chest strap
for the heart rate display to function. See Section 2.1, The Heart Rate Telemetry Chest Strap. Life Fitness recommends
Page 11 of 32

wearing the chest strap for the most accurate heart rate reading. If you are experiencing problems with your heart
rate reading please read Section 2.2, Contact Heart Rate for recommendations on improving the contact heart rate
reading.
5. Workout profile: The workout profile graphically displays the intensity of a workout with columns of various heights.
During the workout, your current intensity level is signified by an arrow located above the appropriate column. During
a heart rate workout, the workout profile acts like a graph of your heart rate. Each of the nine rows of the profile will
represent your actual heart rate as a percentage of your heart rate maximum. Therefore, by the end of the workout,
you will see your heart rate ranges throughout the workout.
Heart Rate Range
Maximum Heart Rate Percentage RangeColumn
<30%1
30%-39%2
40%-49%3
50%-59%4
60%-69%5
70%-79%6
80%-89%7
90%-99%8
100%9
Note: The percent in the table represents your actual heart rate as a percent of your heart rate maximum. The
heart rate maximum is 206.9 - (.67 × your age). For example: A 40 year old’s heart rate maximum would be
206.9 - (.67 x 40) = 180. During their workout at the first interval, their actual heart was 100. Therefore 100/180
= .56 or 56%, and the profile would display the user at row four for the first interval of the workout.
6. RESULTS: Distance
•Distance is shown in miles or kilometers. The distance formula attempts to replicate miles as if the exercise were
being conducted outdoors. The distance formula will not always be consistent with other Life Fitness products
or other manufacturer’s products. Distance can be converted to kilometers in the Settings Menu. See Section 5.6,
How to Use the Settings Menu.
Calorie
•A calorie is a unit used to measure energy. A calorie represents the amount of energy obtained from food. One
calorie is approximately enough energy to increase the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
The console calculates an average caloric burn based on a Life Fitness proprietary calorie equation. This formula
may not match other manufacturer’s machines or other Life Fitness machines.
7. LEVEL / INCLINE%: There are two types of displays for Bikes and Cross-Trainers.
•Resistance: You adjust this number between 1-20. The number you select represents the machine's actual brake
resistance.
•Difficulty: You adjust this number between 1-20. The number you select represents a range of brake resistance
levels and is only available during RANDOM , HILL , EZ INCLINE , and SPORTS TRAINING modes. For example,
if you select a difficulty level of 10, it corresponds to a range of actual brake resistance levels of 5-14.
There are two types of displays for Treadmills.
•Incline: You adjust this number between 0 - 12% (F3), 0 - 15% (T3), and 0.8 - 15% (T5). This value can be adjusted
in 0.5% increments.
•Difficulty: This mode is only used during RANDOM , HILL , EZ INCLINE , and SPORTS TRAINING . The number
you select represents a range of inclines. For example, if you select a difficulty level of 10, it corresponds to a
range of incline percentages between 3.0 - 7.0 (F3 and T3) and 3.8% - 7.5% (T5).

Heart Rate Zone Training®
Note: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout
program.
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 fitness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum, and its value depends on the workout. The
maximal heart rate formula is defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and
Prescription", 8th Edition, 2009. Heart Rate maximum equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s
age (206.9 - (0.67 × age). Reference the chart below for theoretical maximum heart rates and target heart rates.
This products feature these exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training®
exercise:
•FAT BURN
•CARDIO
•HR HILL
•HR INTERVAL
•EXTREME HR
These workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the telemetry heart rate chest strap or grip the contact heart rate
sensors to enable the computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the
incline or level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.

Wear the optional Polar®telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grip the Life pulse™sensors, to enable the on-board computer
to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the incline level to maintain the target
heart rate based on the actual heart rate.
Heart Rate Sensors
Note: The heart rate sensors may be less or more accurate with different individuals.
Page 14 of 32

When using heart rate sensors, make certain to grasp the sensors firmly and keep hands steady. If your heart rate seems
substantially higher or lower than expected, remove your hands from the sensors the until heart rate disappears from
the heart rate display. Dry your hands, and grasp the sensors again until your heart rate seems accurate. If this does not
work, you may need to slow the machine to get an accurate reading. On treadmills, Life Fitness recommends -for safety
and accurate heart rate readings- that you stand on the siderails when attempting to monitor your heart rate with the
sensors.
Optional Polar®Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap
The console is equipped with a wireless heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin,
transfer heart rate signals from the user to the console. The electrodes are inside the chest strap (A) that the user wears
during the workout. 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. The electrodes are two grooved surfaces
on the underside of the strap, and must remain wet to accurately transmit the electrical impulses of the heart back to the
receiver.
To use, first 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. Electrodes must be wet to work properly. If it becomes
necessary to re-moisten, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from your chest to expose the electrodes, and moisten.
See diagram below for correct positioning of the strap.
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 Polar
telemetry heart rate chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two
electrodes, and re-moisten them.
Note: Using the wireless heart rate telemetry chest strap will provide more accurate heart rate readings than the
hand pulse sensors.

3. Exercise and Product Information
Workouts
The Track Connect console has 15 specially designed, pre-programmed workouts (the T5 treadmill has 17) that have
been developed by Life Fitness.
Each workout has a different goal. Read the workout descriptions carefully so that you can develop a workout routine
that focuses on reaching your specific goals. The workout descriptions on the following pages all have subheadings
labeled:
•Beginner workout -designed for users who are just starting a fitness routine. Beginner workouts have limited gradual
intensity adjustments.
•Experienced workout -designed for users seeking a more challenging workout. These users should have a stronger
fitness base.
•Advanced workout -designed for athletes who are training for cardiovascular endurance and special events.
Different workouts have different setup steps. This section provides details on the steps themselves. The main screen of
the console is known as the SELECT WORKOUT screen. When the SELECT WORKOUT screen appears on the console,
use the Classic button, Heart Rate Training button, Advanced button, Goal button, Custom button, or HIIT button to
scroll through all of the workout choices. Select a workout by pressing .
Throughout the workout setup process, the up / down arrows can be used to adjust the value that is selected and the
left / right arrows can be used to scroll back and forth between different steps. In order to advance to the next step, either
press the right arrow or press . After entering the last step, press to begin the workout.
Quick Start
Quick start is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps needed when selecting a specific workout
program. Begin a quick start workout by pressing at the SELECT WORKOUT screen. A constant-level workout
begins after pressing . The intensity level does not change automatically. You must change intensity levels by using
the arrows on the navigation button.
Classic
Press the Classic button to select MANUAL, RANDOM, or HILL workouts.
MANUAL
Beginner workout
The manual workout is a simple workout that has no predefined intensity levels. The manual workout starts at 0.5 MPH
and 0% incline. You are in control of level or speed /incline settings.
This workout was designed for users that do not have much experience working out on a product and like to have control
of the level and speed/incline settings.
This workout can be started by using the CLASSIC button to scroll to the MANUAL workout profile, and pressing .
RANDOM
Experienced workout
In this workout, the console creates a terrain of different hills and valleys. Over 1 million different patterns are possible.
The Random workout uses incline adjustments to create hills/valleys. You control the speed.
This workout was designed to provide you with an unlimited workout variety. The goal of this workout is to prevent
workout boredom and improve motivation.
This workout can be started by using the CLASSIC button to scroll to the RANDOM workout profile, and pressing .
HILL
Experienced workout
Page 16 of 32

The patented hill workout is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise. The workout
profile window displays the levels of the intervals, which have the appearance of hills and valleys. Incline adjustments
are used to simulate the hills and valleys. You control the speed .
The hill workout has two main phases between the warm-up and cool down.
•Plateau: Intensity is slightly increased, and is kept steady to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target zone.
•Interval Training: A series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or periods of recovery. Your heart rate
should rise to the high end of the target zone during this segment.
The interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respiratory improvement
than steady-pace training. The goal of this workout is to improve cardiovascular endurance and break through fitness
plateaus.
This workout can be started by using the CLASSIC button to scroll to the HILL workout profile, and pressing .
Heart Rate Training
Press the Heart Rate Training button to select FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, HEART
RATE MARATHON (only T5), or EXTREME HEART RATE workouts.
FAT BURN
Beginner workout
Note: You must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate.
This program only uses incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. Fat Burn maintains your heart rate at
65% of your theoretical heart rate maximum. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting
the intensity level of the product to reach and maintain a target heart rate range. The intensity will not change as long as
your heart rate is between 60%-72% of your target heart rate.
The goal of the Fat Burn workout is to efficiently burn fat by eliminating over-training and under-training and also
maximizing the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body’s fat storage for energy.
This workout can be started by using the Heart Rate Training button to scroll to the FAT BURN workout profile, and
pressing .
CARDIO
Experienced workout
Note: You must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate.
This program only uses incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. Cardio maintains your heart rate at 80%
of your theoretical heart rate maximum. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the
intensity level of the product to reach and maintain the target heart rate range. The intensity will not change as long as
your heart rate is between 72%-85% of your target heart rate.
The goal of the cardio workout is to place a heavier workload on the heart muscle to emphasize cardiovascular endurance.
This workout can be started by using the Heart Rate Training button to scroll to the CARDIO workout profile, and
pressing .
HEART RATE HILL
Experienced workout
Note: You must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate.
This program only uses incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. Heart rate hill has a series of three hills
and three valleys where the duration of the hills and valleys is determined by your heart rate. After the warm-up, the
intensity of the workout increases until your heart rate reaches 70% of your heart rate maximum; this is the first hill. Once
your heart rate reaches 70% of your heart rate maximum, the program will hold the intensity level for one minute.
When the hill is completed, the program reduces the intensity and target heart rate goal to 65% of you heart rate maximum
to simulate a valley or recovery period. Once your heart rate drops to 65% of your heart rate maximum, the program will
keep your heart rate at 65% for one minute. Next, the program will increase intensity until your heart rate reaches 75%
of your heart rate maximum; this is the second hill followed by a valley, with the target heart rate of 65%.
Page 17 of 32

Finally, the third hill increases intensity until your heart rate reaches 80% of your heart rate maximum. 80% is then held
for one minute followed by the final valley that will keep your heart rate at 65%. At the end of the duration of hills and
valleys, the workout enters a cool down phase. If you do 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 you reach the current goal.
The design intent of the Heart Rate Hill workout was to develop a program that adapts to your fitness level. As you
becomes more physically fit, you will encounter additional hills and valleys in the same workout duration. This happens
because the program sees that your heart rate is recovering more quickly during valleys.
This workout can be started by using the Heart Rate Training button to scroll to the HEART RATE HILL workout profile,
and pressing .
HEART RATE INTERVAL
Experienced workout
Note: You must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate.
This program only uses resistance incline adjustments to increase and decrease your heart rate. This program alternates
between a hill that brings your target heart rate up to 80% of your heart rate maximum , and a valley that brings your
target heart rate down to 65% of your heart rate maximum. After the warm-up, the intensity of the workout increases until
your heart rate reaches 80% of your heart rate maximum; this is the first hill. Once you reach a target heart rate of 80%,
the program will hold the intensity level for 3 minutes. When the hill is completed, the program creates a valley, which
reduces the intensity until a target heart rate of 65% is reached. This sequence continues for all three hills and valleys. At
the end of the duration of hills and valleys, the workout enters a cool-down phase. If you do 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 you reach the current
goal.
The design intent of the Heart Rate Interval workout was to develop a program that adapts to your fitness level and is
more challenging than the Heart Rate Hill workout. As you become more fit, you will encounter additional hills and valleys
in the same workout duration. This is because your heart rate is recovering more quickly during valleys.
This workout can be started by using the Heart Rate Training button to scroll to the HEART RATE INTERVAL workout
profile, and pressing .
HEART RATE MARATHON (only T5)
Advanced workout
Note: You must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate.
This program only uses incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. In Heart Rate Marathon, you define the
heart rate that you wish to maintain. The console continuously monitors and displays your heart rate, adjusting the intensity
level of the product to reach and maintain a target heart rate range. There is no time limit on this workout.
The goal of the Heart Rate Marathon workout is to maintain a target heart rate for an extended workout.
This workout can be started by using the Heart Rate Training button to scroll to the HEART RATE MARATHON workout
profile, and pressing .
EXTREME HEART RATE
Advanced workout
Note: You must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate.
This program uses only incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. This program alternates between two
target heart rates of 85% and 65% of your heart rate maximum by alternating as quickly as possible. The effect is similar
to performing sprints. During the workout, once either of the two target heart rates is reached, it is held for 20 seconds
and then the intensity changes to meet the other target heart rate.
The design of this workout is sports specific. This workout challenges you with short bursts of resistance. The goal of this
workout is to help you break through fitness improvement plateaus.

FIT TEST
Beginner workout, advanced workout, and experienced workout
The Fit Test workout estimates cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four
to six weeks. You must grasp the hand sensors (if equipped) when prompted or wear a Polar telemetry heart rate chest
strap because the calculation of the test score is based on a heart rate reading. The Fit Test is considered to be a submax
VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. A VO2 test gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenated 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. Please note that the estimated VO2 max scores achieved will be 10% to
15% 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 stair climber, or utilizing a bike. The higher rate of fatigue corresponds to lower levels of estimated VO2
max scores.
The goal of the Fit Test workout is to elevate your hear rate to a level that is between 60% - 85% of your theoretical heart
rate maximum.
This workout can be started by using the Advanced button to scroll to the FIT TEST workout profile, and pressing .

Note: Only treadmills: The workout duration will be five minutes total with a one minute warm-up at 0% incline
followed by four additional minutes at a 5% incline. Immediately afterward, the console will take the your heart
rate reading, calculate a fitness score, and display the score in the message center.
After the five minute Fit Test is completed, a Fit Test score and rating will be displayed. Within each suggested range,
use these additional guidelines:
Upper Half of RangeLower Half of Range
Lower ageHigher age
Higher weight (in cases of excessive weight, use lower half
of range)

TallerShorter
The computer will not accept:
•heart rates less than 52 beats per minute 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 years or over 99 years
•data input that exceeds human potential
It is important for you to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. Your heart rate is dependent on many
factors, including:
Page 19 of 32

•amount of sleep from the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)
•time of day
•time you last ate (testing two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)
•time when you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette (testing approximately four
hours afterword is recommended)
•time since you last exercised (testing approximately six hours afterword is recommended)
For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days, and average the three
scores. To receive a proper Fit Test score, the training must be done within a heart rate zone that is 60% to 85% of your
theoretical heart rate maximum (HRmax).
Fit Test results are listed in the following tables.
