SELECTING AND ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE LEVEL

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed intensity level or target heart rate* to the desired value (or key in the desired value with the NUMERIC keypad) and press ENTER. Adjust the level as needed or desired during the workout.

Resistance level: The Life Fitness Total Body Trainer provides a selection of 25 resistance levels. The resistance level appears in the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rows of lights arranged in columns. Selecting a low intensity level at first is recommended. As physical conditioning improves, the levels can increase.

Target heart rate: Programs that calculate a target heart rate base this number on the age of the user and the type of workout. The user accepts or adjusts the rate when setting up the workout. During the workout itself, the program reads the heart rate, which is transmitted via the heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors; it uses this data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate increases the intensity of the cardiovascular exercise.

SELECTING A GOAL TYPE

Workouts can be programmed to target certain type of goals:

Calories

Distance

Time in zone

*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the HEART RATE HILL workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
