4.3WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS

QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout. The intensity level for the workout is set automatically and remains the same unless manually changed. To change the level press the UP or DOWN ARROW keys. If the CALORIES PER HOUR display is enabled, the MESSAGE CENTER displays “ENTER WEIGHT”, which is required to calculate this ratio. Using the ARROW KEYS, increase or decrease the displayed weight to the correct value.

MANUAL

The MANUAL workout sets an intensity level that does not change automatically. While the workout is in progress, increase or lower the intensity level as desired, using the arrow keys.

RANDOM

The RANDOM workout creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million different patterns are possible.

FAT BURN (93Si ONLY)

The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoreti- cal maximum ratefor optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the Life Fitness stairclimber to reach and maintain the target*. This system eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel.

CARDIO (93Si ONLY)

The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate is calculated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum. The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle. The user wears a chest strap.

HILL

The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The WORKOUT PROFILE window represents these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys. The computerized interval train- ing workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respiratory improve- ment than steady-pace training.

Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117. A 20-year-old user’s THR is 130, so the equation would be (220-20)*.65=130.
