5 Distance Display
Distance is shown in miles.
The distance formula tries to replicate miles as if the exercise was

6 Target Heart Rate Display
Target heart rate is a
percentage of a user’s maximum heart rate. The goal
is to target a range that enables one’s heart and lungs to receive the most benefit from a workout. The console calculates target heart rate by taking the maximum heart rate (220 minus the user’s age) and
multiplying it by an intensity level. Life Fitness intensity levels are 65% for weight loss and fat burning and 80% for improving cardiovascular endurance. The display will toggle between the 65% and 80% intensity levels. An arrow pointing up or down will illuminate to show when the user’s actual heart rate is above or below the target heart rate.
a.Example: User’s Age is 45. 220 – 45 = 175. 175 is the Maximum Heart Rate for a 45 year old. 175 x 65% = 114. 114 is the optimal target heart rate for weight loss and fat burning.
