Chapter 2: Overview

2.1: Console

Treadmill shown
  1. Touch Screen Display
    • Use to select, set up, monitor and save workouts.
    • Access entertainment options.
  2. Optional RFID (Radio Frequency Identification): Fitness facility owners can order this option for their users allowing them to swipe their facility identification card on the console. The console’s hardware is compatible with the two main frequencies (125kHz and 13.56Mhz) used for RFID cards.
  3. Reading Rack / Tablet Holder: Place traditional reading material as well as mobile devices and tablets in this built-in holder.
  4. USB: Charge USB devices.
  5. Headphones: Plug in headphones to listen to TV and entertainment options.
  6. NFC (Near Field Communication): Connect to NFC enabled mobile devices for seamless pairing and data share.

2.2: The Lifepulse™ System

The patented Lifepulse system sensors (B) are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on this product. For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout:

  • Grasp the sensors firmly.
  • Hold each sensors at the midpoint.
  • Keep hands steady and in place.
Treadmill

The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors. The following factors may affect a Lifepulse reading:

  • incorrect hand placement on the sensors
  • upper body activity, lotion or dirt on hands
  • excessive or insufficient pressure when gripping the sensors
Note: Do not attempt to grasp the sensors on a treadmill at speeds above 4.5 MPH or 7.2 KPH. For these speeds, the use of a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is recommended. Treadmill

2.3: Optional Polar® Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap

The Polar telemetry heart rate monitoring system transfers heart rate signals to the console when electrodes are pressed against the skin. These electrodes are attached to a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is optional. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services to order.

See diagram for correct positioning of the Polar telemetry heart rate chest 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 Polar telemetry heart rate chest 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 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: If the Lifepulse system sensors are grasped while the chest strap is worn, and if the signals from the sensors are valid, the on-board computer uses these sensor signals for calculating the heart rate instead of those transmitted by the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap.
Note: During the setup of a heart rate zone training workout, the user will be required to enter a start-up speed. If a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is not detected, the maximum allowable speed is 4.5 MPH / 7.2 KPH. If a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is detected, users can workout at the maximum allowed speed.

4.2.2: Set Up Your Workout - Terrain

  1. Choose Terrain
    • Flat is a constant effort workout in which the user can change incline, level or speed at any time.
    • Hill is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval.
    • Rolling Hills is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.
    • Random is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

4.2.3: Heart Rate Goals Workouts

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. 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 (HRmax), 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, 2010. HRmax equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age.

HR Max = 206.9 - (0.67 * age)

4.2.4: Theoretical Maximum Heart Rates and Target Heart Rates

Reference the chart below for Theoretical Maximum Heart Rates and Target Heart Rates. Listed as BPM (Beats per Minute).

Age Theoretical Maximum Heart Rate 65% (Moderate Burn) 80% (Vigorous Burn)
10 200 130 160
20 194 126 155
30 187 121 149
40 180 117 144
50 173 113 139
60 167 108 133
70 160 104 128
80 153 100 123
90 147 95 117
99 141 91 112

Wear the optional Polar® telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grip the Lifepulse™ sensors, to enable the on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout.

4.3: Fitness Tests

Choose desired fitness test.

  • Life Fitness Fit Test estimates cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every 4 - 6 weeks.

  • U.S. Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) is a 5-minute distance goal test based on the time needed to complete the required distance and is used by the U.S. Navy and Naval academies to measure aerobic capacity.

    Note: Not available on FlexStrider or PowerMill.

  • U.S. Army Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is a 5-minute physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardio respiratory fitness.

  • U.S. Marines Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardio respiratory fitness.

  • U.S. Air Force Fitness Test is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and cardio respiratory fitness.

  • , WFI Submax Protocol is a graded submax assessment used to predict a fire fighter's aerobic capacity. This test automatically increases speed and incline (treadmill only) until a target heart rate is reached. This assessment replaces the Gerkin assessment. Once the target heart rate has been exceeded for 15 seconds, the program goes into a cool down mode.

  • Physical Efficiency Battery (PEB) is used by U.S. Federal Law Enforcement, U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other federal organizations for the hiring and maintenance of federal jobs.

  • FAMS is a 12-minute cycle test. This test is a 1.5 mile run alternative.

  • Candidate Physical Ability Test is used to predict the ability to perform basic fire fighting tasks developed by the International Association of Fire Fighters. The test starts out with a 20-second warm up period at a set stepping rate of 50 steps per minute followed by the 3-minute test at a set stepping rate of 60 steps per minute.

  • Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) is the 2.4 kilometer portion of a standard physical fitness test utilized by the Singaporean Armed Forces, Police Force and Civil Defense Force.

4.3.1: Life Fitness Fit Test

  • The Life Fitness Fit Test estimates cardiovascular activity and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every 4 - 6 weeks.
  • The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test and 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.
  • Workout duration is 5 minutes total.
  • Take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. 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 work done must be within a training heart rate zone that is 60% to 85% of the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax).

The user must grasp the hand sensors when prompted, or wear a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as the test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading.

Note: The workout will be terminated if a heart rate is not detected after 2.5 minutes.

Your heart rate is dependent on many factors, including:

  • amount of sleep the previous night (at least 7 hours is recommended)
  • time of day
  • time you last ate (2 - 4 hours after the last meal is recommended)
  • time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette (at least 4 hours is recommended)
  • time since you last exercised (at least 6 hours is recommended)

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.

After the 5-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score and rating will be displayed.

Please note that the estimated VO2 max scores achieved will be 10-15% 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 or utilizing a bike. This higher rate of fatigue corresponds to lower levels of estimated VO2 max scores.
