QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins. For accurate caloric expenditure, enter weight when prompted by the mes- sage center using the SELECTION keys. The prompt will appear ten seconds after the workout begins. The incline level is set to zero by default. Change the level using the INCLINE ARROW key. Change the speed using the SPEED key, up or down as desired.

MANUAL

The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level or speed at any time.

HILL

The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense cardiovascular exercise separated by regular periods of lower- intensity exercise.

The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respiratory improvement than steady-pace training.

The HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. As noted in the descriptions, the heart rate should be measured at two stages in the workout to gauge its effectiveness. To do so, wear the chest strap.

1Warm-upis a phase of low, gradually rising resistance, which brings the heart rate into the lower end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles.

2Plateau increases the intensity slightly, and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.

**This workout requires the user to wear a telemetry chest strap.
