4THE WORKOUTS

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting

a specific workout program. After theQUICK START key is pressed, a constant-level workout begins.

The intensity level does not change automatically.

MANUAL is a workout in which the intensity level does not change automatically.

FAT BURNis a low-intensity workout for burning the body’s fat reserves. The user must wear

a Polar heart rate chest strap, or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. The workout pro-

gram automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at

65 percent of the theoretical maximum†.

HILL is an interval-training workout combining “hills” and “valleys” of different intensity levels, which is

proven to provide effective, time-efficient cardiovascular results.

RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regu-

lar pattern or progression.

CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maxi-

mum fat burning. The user must wear a Polar heart rate chest strap, or grasp the Lifepulse system sen-

sors continuously. The workout program automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart

rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum†.

ZONE TRAINING are workouts that target specific ranges, or zones, for maintaining a heart rate to

achieve maximum exercise results. Zone Training workouts include:

HEART RATE HILLconsists of three hills based on the target heart rate*. The user must grasp the

Lifepulse system sensors continuously or wear a heart rate chest strap.

HEART RATE INTERVALalternates between a hill and a valley based on the target heart rate. The

user must grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously or wear a heart rate chest strap.

EXTREME HEART RATEalternates between two target heart rate goals as quickly as possible. The

effect is similar to that of running sprints. The user must grasps the Lifepulse system sensors contin-

uously or wear a heart rate chest strap.

†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 HEART

RATE HILLworkout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
