HILL WORKOUT (Experienced – Fit)

Access: This workout can be started by pressing the HILL workout key.

Description: The Life Fitness 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. Incline adjustments are used to simulate the hills/valleys, speed is controlled by the user.

The HILL workout has two main phases in between the warm-up and cool down.

Plateau: Increases the incline slightly and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target zone.

Interval Training: Is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or periods of recovery. The heart rate should rise to the high end of the target zone during this segment.

Goal: 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.

FAT BURN WORKOUT * (Beginner – Just Starting) *Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout

Access: This workout can be started by pressing the FAT BURN workout key.

Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to function properly. This program uses incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. FAT BURN maintains the user at 65% of the user’s theoretical maximum heart rate. 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 the user is between 60%-72% of their target heart rate.

If the user’s heart rate cannot reach the target using incline, a message will appear in the MESSAGE CENTER requesting the user to change speed.

Goal: 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.
