4.2USING THE WORKOUTS

This section provides detailed information on setting up and using workouts. For quick-reference setup steps, see the chart at the end of the section.

TO BEGIN A WORKOUT

To mount the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer, grasp the handles and carefully step on the pedals. To dismount, step off the pedals while still holding the handles. Then let go of the handles.

Without networking, press START or begin pedaling to activate the console. The MESSAGE CENTER displays, "SE- LECT WORKOUT OR PRESS ENTER TO BEGIN." If it displays a different message, press the CLEAR key twice in rapid succession.

With optional networking enabled, press START or begin pedaling to activate the console. The MESSAGE CENTER displays, "SELECT WORKOUT OR ENTER PIN USING ENTER PIN KEY". Either select a workout as described below, or log on to the networked exercise database, and then select a workout. To log onto the network, press ENTER PIN, then using the NUMERIC KEYPAD enter the correct digits of the ID number and press ENTER.

SELECTING AND USING QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising and bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. At the MESSAGE CENTER prompt to select a workout, press the QUICK START key. The workout begins at an intensity level that remains the same unless manually changed.

ENTERING WEIGHT

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter weight, use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed weight to the correct value (or key in the correct value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD) and press ENTER. The default weight is 150 pounds or 68 kilograms. The on-board computer calculates the number and rate of calories burned using the entered weight as well as the pedaling speed and resistance level.

ENTERING AGE

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter age, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed age to the correct value (or key in the correct value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD) and press ENTER.

Life Fitness Cross-Trainer workout programs that set a target heart rate zone first calculate the user’s theoretical maxi- mum heart rate. The HRmax equals 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age. The programs then calcu- late the target zone as a percentage of the theoretical maximum.

ENTERING TIME

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter a time, use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed time to the desired value (or key in the desired value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD) and press ENTER.
