4)ENTERING WORKOUT VALUES
AGE: When prompted to enter Age, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed age to the correct value, or key in the correct value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and press ENTER.
Life Fitness Treadmill workout programs that set a target heart rate* zone first calculate the user’s theoretical maximum heart rate† by subtracting the user’s age from the number 220. The programs then calculate the target zone as a per- centage of the theoretical maximum.
WEIGHT: Select weight and press enter. Entering an accurate weight allows for a more accurate calorie calculation.
GENDER: Select gender and press enter. (Used in the fit test prediction equation and associated fitness rating.)
5)USING MARATHON MODE
If Marathon Mode is enabled, a Marathon Mode button will appear in the time entry screen when configuring a workout. Selecting Marathon Mode sets the workout to an unlimited time workout. The workout can then be ended only by the user or one of the emergency stop systems.
Within a workout, Marathon Mode can be changed by pressing the Time Key. Pressing the Time Key makes it possible to set a time goal as long as it's not less than the time already spent in the workout. A new time goal must be set and entered to override Marathon Mode.
6)CHANGING/ENDING A WORKOUT
SWITCHING WORKOUTS
It is possible during a workout, to switch to another workout program. After a switch, the console retains all the progress information about the workout since its beginning. To change workouts “on the fly,” simply press CHANGE WORKOUT and then choose a new workout. To switch to a new workout, and restart the progress information, choose CHANGE WORKOUT and then RESET.
PAUSING WORKOUTS
Press the PAUSE key to stop the belt and hold the current workout. A RESUME WORKOUT button and EXIT button appear on the Touchscreen. Continue the workout by selecting RESUME. The pause duration defaults to 1 minute (con- figurable by the user), after which, the console returns to the Home Screen. End the workout by selecting EXIT.
A workout can also be paused by using ZEROUT speed control. If, during a workout, a user decreases the speed to the minimum and continues to hold the DECREASE SPEED ARROW, the speed falls to 0 (zero) MPH, which is pause mode. The minimum speed is 0.5 MPH, unless changed in the Manager’s Configuration. See section 5.3, Configuration Settings, Manager’s Configuration 2, for more information.
ENDING WORKOUTS EARLY
To end a workout early, press COOL DOWN on the bottom of the Touchscreen to go directly into the cool down phase. The COOL DOWN button changes into an END WORKOUT button. A user can stop a workout by pushing the END WORKOUT button; otherwise the cool down phase will automatically begin. The program will designate a cool down time period in propor- tion to the amount of time spent in the workout. Upon completion of cool down, the Workout Summary screen will appear. To exit the program without a cool down press the STOP button or select CHANGE PROGRAM, and then RESET.
WORKOUT SUMMARY
Upon ending a workout, a workout summary will appear. The Workout Summary information includes the Average Speed, Distance, Calories Burned, Average Heart Rate and Elapsed Time. The duration of the Workout Summary screen defaults to 1 minute. To extend the screen time, press the More Time button to reset the counter to 1 minute. Workout summary data can be saved to a USB stick for use in future review and tracking.
