Chapter 2: Overview

2.1: Console

Console display
1. Level / Incline %:

There are two types of displays for Treadmills.

  • Incline: Number is adjustable only by the user.
  • Difficulty: Number is shown during RANDOM, HILL, EZ INCLINE, and SPORTS TRAINING modes.

To change the level during a workout, the underscore beneath the top row of workout feedback needs to be positioned under LEVEL. If the underscore is not under LEVEL, it can be moved by pressing left or right on the navigation button. Adjust the level by pressing up or down on the navigation button.

Level values

The time can be changed at any time during the workout by highlighting the time window with the underscore pressing left or right on the navigation button, and then modifying the time by pressing up or down on the navigation button. The clock icon minute hand will move in 15 minute increments.

3. Speed (mph/kp/h):
Note: Miles Per Hour (MPH) can be changed to Kilometers Per Hour (KPH) in the Settings Menu.

Treadmills speed range:

  • 0.5 MPH to 12.0 mph with 0.1 MPH increments
4. Setup Steps icon

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

5. Message center:

The message center will help you with the settings in a workout, including selecting a workout and entering time and level.

The message center will show certain workout feedback like PACE and METS if they are turned on in the Settings Menu.

6. Distance:
Note: Miles can be changed to kilometers in the Settings Menu.

The distance formula tries to replicate distance as if the exercise were being conducted outdoors. The distance formula will not always be consistent with other products.

7. Heart Rate:

The heart rate display calculates your actual heart rate in contractions or beats per minute during a workout. You must hold the contact electrodes or wear a heart rate telemetry chest strap for the heart rate display to function (see The Polar® Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap section of this document for more information). Life Fitness recommends wearing the chest strap for the most accurate heart rate reading. If you are experiencing problems with your heart rate reading, please see the Troubleshooting - Heart Rate Scanner section of this document for recommendations on improving the heart rate reading.

8. Target Heart Rate:

Target heart rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. The goal is to target a range that enables one's heart and lungs to receive the most benefit from a workout. The console calculates the target heart rate by taking the maximum heart rate and multiplying that number by an intensity level. Maximum heart rate = 206.9 - (.67 × user’s age). Life Fitness intensity levels are 65% for weight loss and fat burning and 80% for improving cardiovascular endurance. The display will toggle between the 65% and 80% intensity levels. An arrow pointing up or down will illuminate to show when your actual heart rate is above or below the target heart rate.

9. Calories:

The console calculates an average caloric burn based on a Life Fitness proprietary calorie equation.

10. 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 the user’s heart rate. Each of the nine rows of the profile will represent your actual heart rate as a percentage of the heart rate maximum. At the end of the workout, you will see your heart rate ranges throughout the workout.

Heart Rate Range
Column Maximum Heart Rate Percentage Range
1 <30%
2 30%-39%
3 40%-49%
4 50%-59%
5 60%-69%
6 70%-79%
7 80%-89%
8 90%-99%
9 100%
Workout Profile Indicator Arrow
Workout profile indicator arrow

The arrow (1) located above the columns in the workout profile shows your position in the workout. The position is represented by the time entered during workout setup divided by the number of columns. During RACE MODE, the arrow splits into two separate arrows -a filled in arrow and an outline of an arrow, which simulates you and the pacer.

Level Meter
Level Range Incline Range (Treadmills Only)
1-2 0.0-1.0%
3-4 1.1-2.0%
5-6 2.1-3.0%
7-8 3.1-4.0%
9-10 4.1-5.0%
11-12 5.1-6.4%
13-14 6.5-7.5%
15-16 7.6-9.0%
17-18 9.1-10.5%
19-20 10.6-12.0%

The higher the fill of the meter, the more difficult the workout.

2.2: 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.

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. The computer automatically adjusts the incline level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.

2.2.1: Heart Rate Sensors

Note: The heart rate sensors may be less or more accurate with different individuals.

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.

2.2.2: 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.

Manual workout screen

The manual workout is a simple workout that has no predefined intensity levels. The manual workout starts at 0.5 MPH and 0% incline for treadmills. You are in control of levels or speed/incline settings.

This workout was designed for users that do not have much experience on the product and like to have control of the speed/incline settings.

This workout can be started by using the navigation button to scroll to the MANUAL workout profile and pressing ENTER.

3.5.1.1: Editing a Manual Workout

After setting a workout time, the following will occur if a manual workout is selected.

The message center will display SET SPEED + INCL for approximately three seconds. Next the message center will display INTERVAL 1. Perform the following steps after these messages appear on the display.

  1. Select the speed and incline in the appropriate windows, and then press ENTER to move to INTERVAL 2.
  2. Note: This sequence will continue until all 24 intervals are set.
    Repeat Step 1 until the message center displays WORKOUT SAVED. Use the navigation button to move back and forth between intervals.

When each interval is set and saved, its corresponding visual representation of either incline or resistance is depicted in the workout profile. By the end of setup, you will see your custom workout profile.

3.5.2: Random

Random workout -Experienced
Random workout screen

In this workout, the console creates a terrain of different hills and valleys. Over 1 million different patterns are possible. Random uses resistance or incline adjustments to create hills/valleys. Speed is controlled by you.

This workout was designed to provide you with unlimited workout variety. The goal of this workout is to prevent workout boredom and improve motivation.

This workout can be started by using the navigation button to scroll to the RANDOM workout profile and pressing ENTER.

3.5.3: Hill

Hill workout -Experienced
Hill workout screen

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 together have the appearance of hills and valleys. You control the speed.

The hill workout has two main phases in between the warm-up and cool down:

  • Plateau -slightly increases the intensity and keeps it steady to bring the heart rate to the lower end of the target zone.
  • Interval Training -a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys or periods of recovery. The heart rate should rise to the higher end of the target zone during this segment.

The computerized 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 navigation button to scroll to the HILL workout profile and pressing ENTER.

3.5.4: EZ Incline

EZ Incline workout -Beginner
EZ Incline workout screen

EZ incline consists of one hill. You determine the elevation of the peak during the workout setup. The peak is reached after 75% of the workout time is completed. Afterward, the incline gradually returns to level 1 or 0% respectively.

In this workout, the gradual changes in elevation are extremely subtle, which lowers the perceived exertion. This cardiovascular workout is effective, efficient, and enjoyable at the same time. The main goal of the workout is to improve cardiovascular endurance without the stress of a rigorous workout.

This workout can be started by using the navigation button to scroll to the EZ INCLINE workout profile and pressing ENTER.

3.5.5: Sports Training

Sports Training workout -Experienced
Sports Training workout screen

Sports training is a workout that simulates being outdoors by using a baseline value to simulate a flat surface. The program then simulates moving uphill with values above the baseline and downhill with values below the baseline. The adjustments above and below the baseline are incline changes. You control the speed.

The goal of this workout is to simulate outdoor training.

This workout can be started by using the navigation button to scroll to the SPORTS TRAINING workout profile and pressing ENTER.

3.5.6: Fat Burn

Fat Burn workout -Beginner

Note: You must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate.

This program only uses resistance or 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 the 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 stores for energy.

This workout can be started by using the navigation button to scroll to the FAT BURN workout profile and pressing ENTER.

3.5.7: Cardio

Cardio workout -Experienced
Cardio workout screen

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 the theoretical maximum heart rate. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level 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 the target heart rate.

The goal this workout is to place a heavier workload on the heart muscle to emphasize cardiovascular endurance.

This workout can be started by using the navigation button to scroll to the CARDIO workout profile and pressing ENTER.

3.5.8: HR Hill

Heart Rate Hill workout -Experienced
HR Hill workout screen
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. HR 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 the maximum heart rate; this is the first hill. Once you reach 70% of your maximum heart rate, 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 your maximum heart rate to simulate a valley or recovery period. Once your heart rate drops to 65% of your maximum heart rate, the program will keep your heart rate at 65% for one minute. Next, the program will increase intensity until your heart reaches 75% of your maximum heart rate; this is the second hill, followed by a valley with the target heart rate of 65%. Finally, the third hill increases intensity until you reach 80% of your maximum heart rate. Your heart rate is held at 80% for one minute, followed by the final valley that decreases your heart rate to 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 HR hill workout was to develop a program that adapts to your fitness level. As you become more fit, you will encounter additional hills and valleys in the same workout duration. This happens because your heart rate will be recovering more quickly during valleys.

This workout can be started by using the navigation button to scroll to the HR HILL workout profile and pressing ENTER.

3.5.9: HR Interval

Heart Rate Interval workout -Experienced
HR Interval workout screen
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 HR Interval workout was to develop a program that adapts to your fitness level and is more challenging than the HR 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 navigation button to scroll to the HR INTERVAL workout profile and pressing ENTER.

3.5.10: Extreme HR

Extreme Heart Rate workout -Advanced
Extreme HR workout screen
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.

This workout can be started by using the navigation button to scroll to the EXTREME HR workout profile and pressing ENTER.

  2. Select your custom workout, and press ENTER to view INTERVAL 1 and its previously defined settings.
  3. Note: This sequence will continue until all 24 intervals are set, and then the message center will display WORKOUT SAVED.
    Use the navigation button to modify the current settings or press ENTER to move to INTERVAL 2.

3.5.11.2: Editing a Heart Rate Custom Workout

If a heart rate workout is selected, the message center will display SET TARGET HR for approximately three seconds after setting a workout time. Next, the message center will display INTERVAL 1.

  1. Enter you desired target heart rate in the appropriate window, and then press ENTER to move to INTERVAL 2.
  2. Note: This sequence will continue until all 24 intervals are set.
    Repeat Step 1 until the message center displays WORKOUT SAVED. Use the navigation button to move back and forth between intervals.

When each interval is set and saved, its corresponding visual representation of either incline or resistance is depicted in the workout profile. By the end of setup, you will see your custom workout profile. Use the table below to assist your custom workout.

Note: The percent in the table represents your actual heart rate as a percent of their heart rate maximum. The heart rate maximum is 206.9 - (.67 x your age). For example, a 40 year old’s heart rate maximum would be 206.9 -0.67 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 4 for the first interval of the workout.
Row Target Heart Rate Percent Range
1 <30%
2 30 - 39%
3 40 - 49%
4 50 - 59%

4.4.1: Heart Rate Scanner

Malfunction Probable Cause Corrective Action
Heart rate reading is initially detected and functioning normally but then is lost. Use of personal electronic devices, such as cell phones and portable MP3 players, causes external noise interference. Remove the source of noise or reposition the exercise equipment.
Equipment is in close proximity to other sources of noise such as audio/video equipment, fans, two way radios, and high voltage/ high current power lines.
Heart rate readings are abnormally elevated. Television sets and/or antennas, cell phones, computers, cars, high voltage power lines, motor driven exercise equipment , and another heart rate transmitter within 3 ft. (0.9 m) generate electromagnetic interference. Move the product a few inches away from the probable cause, or move the probable cause a few inches away from the product, until the heart rate readings are accurate.
Heart rate reading is erratic or absent entirely. Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap transmitter electrodes are not wet enough to pick up accurate heart rate readings. Wet the belt transmitter electrodes (see The The Polar® Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap.
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap transmitter electrodes are not laying flat against the skin. Ensure the belt transmitter electrodes are laying fl at against the skin (seeThe Polar® Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap.
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap transmitter needs cleaning. Wash the belt transmitter with mild soap and water.
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap transmitter is not within 3 ft. (0.9 m) of the heart rate receiver. Make sure the chest strap transmitter is within 3 ft. (0.9 m) of the heart rate receiver.
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap battery is depleted. Contact Corporate Headquarters for instructions on how to have the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap replaced.
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap did not lock in with the heart rate receiver.

Make sure the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is properly attached to the user’s chest and move closer to the heart rate receiver inside the console. Wait up to 10 seconds for the heart rate to display on the console. The overall range of the heart rate strap is approximately 3 ft. (0.9 m) after it communicates with the receiver. The strap must be 1.5 - 2 ft. (0.5 - 0.6 m) away from the receiver in order to start communicating. When the display shows a heart rate value stay within 3 ft. (0.9 m).

Notes:

  1. Ensure proper adherence of the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap to user’s chest.
