4THE WORKOUTS

The following workouts are preprogrammed for the Life Fitness Treadmill.

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting a specific workout pro-

gram. After the QUICK STARTkey is pressed, a constant level workout begins. The intensity level does not change automati-

cally.

CLASSIC workouts are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following workouts

may be accessed with this button:

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

RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or

progression.

HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of

lower-intensity exercise.

HEART RATE + workouts are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following workouts

may be accessed with this button:

FAT BURNis a low-intensity workout for burning the body’s fat reserves. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or

grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously. The program adjusts the intensity level through changing the incline (elevation),

based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum†.

CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat

burning. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously. The program adjusts

the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum†.

HEART RATE HILL takes the user through three different hills based on the target heart rate*. The user wears a

heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously.

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

heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously.

EXTREME HEART RATE is an intense workout for more experienced users. It is designed to get the heart rate up

and down as quickly as possible. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulsesensors continu-

ously.

HILL + are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following workouts may be

accessed with this button:

AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical

areas.

FOOTHILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.

KILIMANJARO is a hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then

gradually decline.

CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.

†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 (HRmax). A 40-year-old user’s recommended THR for the HEART RATE HILLand

HEART RATE INTERVALworkouts is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
