The user-friendly console provides a host of visual feedback, acting as a coach and trainer with easy-to-follow instructions and helpful message displays throughout the workout.

It's Intelligent: Choose from the five standard Life Fitness workout programs, or the new Heart Rate program.

In the past, people with special health conditions have been advised by medical specialists to maintain a specified level of watts or calories per hour during their workouts as an indirect means of regulating their heart rate. With the Lifestride trainer, these types of exercise prescriptions are unnecessary, since you can directly monitor your heart rate regardless of the program you use. Also, with the Heart Rate program, you can work out at a prescribed heart rate profile automatically.

It's Motivating: An easy-to-read, message display provides motivating feedback of your workout so you'll always know how you're doing. Your heart rate, elapsed time, calories burned per hour, total calories burned, actual walking or running speed, distance traveled, and terrain are continually displayed.

It's Easy: The user-friendly, modern computer console guides you through every step of your program.
