ENTERING WEIGHT

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter weight, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the dis- played weight to the correct value 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 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 and press ENTER.

SELECTING AND ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE LEVEL

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed intensity level or target heart rate to the desired value, and press ENTER. Adjust the level as needed or desired during the workout.

•Resistance level: The Life Fitness Cross-Trainer provides a selection of 25 resistance levels. The resistance level appears in the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rows of lights arranged in columns. Selecting a low intensity level at first is recommended. As physical conditioning improves, the levels can increase.

•Target heart rate: Programs that calculate a target heart rate base this number on the age of the user and the type of workout. The user accepts or adjusts the rate when setting up the workout. During the workout itself, the pro- gram reads the heart rate, which is transmitted via the Lifepulse system sensors or the Polar heart rate chest strap; and it uses this data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate increases the intensity of the cardio- vascular exercise.

SELECTING A WORKOUT MODE

Two workout mode options on the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer feature alternate ways to vary workouts.

•Total Body Trainer: This workout mode simulates the experience of working out with a trainer. Throughout the work- out, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to vary the workload and emphasize different muscle groups, such as upper- and lower-body. This feature can be used with any workout, except for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, EXTREME HEART RATE, and EZ RESISTANCE. To select it, press the TOTAL BODY TRAINER key.

•Lower Body Trainer: This workout mode continuously alternates five minutes of forward motion with two minutes of reverse motion, to exercise different leg muscles. This feature can be used with any workout, except for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, EXTREME HEART RATE, and EZ RESISTANCE.

To select it, press the LOWER BODY Trainer key.

SWITCHING WORKOUTS “ON-THE-FLY”

It is possible, during a workout, to switch to another workout program. After a switch, the console retains all the progress information about the workout since its beginning. To change workouts “on-the-fly,” press WORKOUT PROFILES key, and then select a new workout. This feature is available for all workouts, except EZ RESISTANCE, AROUND THE WORLD, KILIMANJARO, INTERVAL, CASCADES, SPEED TRAINING, and FOOT HILLS.
