Life Fitness X3 5 user manual Console after starting the workout

CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat burning. The user must grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear a wireless heart rate chest strap. The workout program automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the user’s heart rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum.

HEART RATE HILL consists of three hills that target three heart rate goals: The first hill brings the heart rate to 90 percent of the target rate. The second hill increases the rate to 95 percent. The third hill matches the target heart rate. The valley always is defined as 85 percent of the target heart rate. The user must grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear a wireless heart rate chest strap.

HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to 100 percent of the target rate, and

a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 90 percent of the target heart rate. The user must grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear a wireless chest strap.

EXTREME HEART RATE alternates between two target heart rate goals as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. The user must grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear a wireless heart rate chest strap.

MY WORKOUTS is not a workout program but a feature that allows the user to pre-set up to four workouts with personal setup information, such as age, time duration, or level, and then store the workouts in the console memory. These workouts are accessed with an ARROW key. See Section 5.4, titled My Workouts Personal Programs, for information on setting up and using these workouts.

TOTAL BODY TRAINER This workout makes the most of the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer's total body workout capabilities by leading the user through a varied workout that exercises all the major muscle groups. For an upper-body workout that works all the muscles in the arms, the console directs the user to push and pull the handlebar arms at various times. The console will also vary the workout between total body and lower-body-only workouts, during which the user rests his or her hands on the stationary handlebar. To maximize a lower-body workout, forward and reverse motions and speeds are alternated, working all the muscles in the legs during a single exercise session.

NOTE: This Cross-Trainer workout is a single resistance program. However, it can be made into a variable resistance workout by first selecting the Hill, Manual, or Random program, and then pressing the Reverse Mode key on the

console after starting the workout.
