Chapter 4: Operation
4.1: Workouts
QUICK START
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK
START key is pressed, a constant-level MANUAL workout begins.
MANUAL
The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance
level or speed at any time. While the workout is in progress, increase or decrease
the
intensity level as desired using the LEVEL UP / DOWN arrow keys on
bikes and cross-trainers. Use the SPEED or INCLINE UP /
DOWN arrow keys on treadmills.
RANDOM
The RANDOM program is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity
levels
that occur in no regular pattern or progression.
FAT BURN
The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65% of the theoretical
maximum (HRmax) for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a Polar
telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the Lifepulse sensors. If the user is not
wearing
a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE window
displays a heart shape, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to
grasp the sensors. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate,
adjusting
the intensity level to reach and maintain the target. This system eliminates over-training
and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the
body's
fat stores for fuel.
Note: The intensity level on treadmills can be temporarily adjusted using the
INCLINE UP / DOWN arrow keys or permanently changed by setting a
new in-session Target Heart Rate goal. Speed can only be changed by the user. For
bikes and
cross-trainers the intensity level can be changed by adjusting the target heart rate
goal
directly with the INCLINE UP / DOWN arrow keys.
Note: Change the target heart rate at any time by pressing
ENTER to change the in-session workout parameter for target heart
rate.
CARDIO
The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN, however the target heart rate
is
calculated at 80% of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). The higher target promotes
cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.
Note: The intensity level on treadmills can be temporarily adjusted using the
INCLINE UP / DOWN arrow keys or permanently changed by setting a
new in-session Target Heart Rate goal. Speed can only be changed by the user. For
bikes and
cross-trainers the intensity level can be changed by adjusting the target heart rate
goal
directly with the INCLINE UP / DOWN arrow keys.
Note: Change the target heart rate at any time by pressing
ENTER to change the in-session workout parameter for target heart
rate.
HILL
The 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.
Each
column represents one interval. The overall duration of the workout determines the
length of
each interval.
1 to 9 minutes (available for Bikes and Cross-Trainers only if Power Assist option
is
enabled): 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 added by the user “on the fly”, 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
pattern
repeats until the workout is completed.
FIT TEST
The FIT TEST workout estimates 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 Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as the test
score
calculation is based on a heart rate reading.
Note: (Treadmills Only): 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.
The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. It 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 10-15% lower on stationary exercise bikes than those achieved
on
other 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.
After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score and rating will be displayed
in the MESSAGE CENTER.

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. Within each suggested range, these additional
guidelines can be used:
Lower Half of Range
Upper Half of Range
Higher Age
Lower Age

* In cases of excessive weight, use lower half of range.
The computer will not accept:
Heart rates less than 52 or greater than 200 beats per minute.
Body weights less than 75 lbs. (34 kg) or greater than 400 lbs. (181 kg)
Ages below 10 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:
Amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended).
Time of day.
Time you last ate (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended).
Time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette
(at least four hours is recommended).
Time since you last exercised (at least six hours is recommended).
For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should 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% to 85% of the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax).

WFI Submax Protocol (Treadmill Only)
The treadmill features an additional fitness test based upon specific predefined
protocols.
WFI Submax Protocol: Submaximal VO2
The WFI Submax Protocol is a graded submax
assessment used to predict a fire fighter’s aerobic capacity. This test automatically
increases speed and incline until a target heart rate is reached.
To ensure an accurate test score, do not change entries once the workout begins. Once
the
target heart rate has been exceeded for 15 seconds, the program goes into a cool down.
The
cool down last for three minutes at 3 mph at a 0% grade. The workout summary includes
the
following information:
The test time is displayed in the TIME window.
The VO2 max test score is displayed in the SPEED window.
The recovery heart rate is displayed in the HEART RATE window.
Marathon Mode (Treadmill Only)
A workout in MARATHON MODE allows the user to workout indefinitely and ends only if
the
user chooses to end it or a stop system is activated. To activate this mode, while
setting
up a workout for all but FIT TEST and WFI programs, enter a time value greater than
the
maximum program time allowed.
Watts (Bikes Only)
This workout targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Watts. A Watt is
a unit
of power that measures the amount of mechanical work required to operate a device.
It is
roughly equal to 0.25 calories per hour. The workout program automatically alters
the
intensity level to maintain the appropriate rate of effort.
4.2: Heart Rate Zone Training®
4.2.1: 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
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
(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.
The products feature these exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the
benefits
of Heart Rate Zone Training exercise:
Fat Burn
Cardio
Note: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and
designing a workout program.
To change settings during a workout, press ENTER.
The Heart Rate Zone Training® workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the optional
Polar®
telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grip the LifepulseTM sensors, to enable the on-board
computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts
the
incline level on treadmills and resistance on cross-trainers and bikes to maintain
the target
heart rate based on the actual heart rate.

4.2.2: Heart Rate Monitoring
The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system
on these
products. 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.
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, and excessive or insufficient
pressure
used when gripping the sensors.
Note: (Treadmills Only): Do not attempt to grasp the
sensors 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.
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 Customer Support Services to order.
See the diagram below for correct positioning of the Polar telemetry heart rate chest
strap.
The electrodes, 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: (Treadmills Only): 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. If a Polar telemetry heart rate
chest strap
is detected, users can workout at the maximum allowed speed set in Manager’s
Configuration.
