4.4MAXIMIZING WORKOUTS ON A LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL
SELECTING A LEVEL
The steps for setting up a HILL, RANDOM, SPORT TRAINING 5K, and SPORT TRAINING 10K workout include select- ing a level. The word “level” refers to a range of incline percentages. The treadmill features 20 levels, with Level 1 hav- ing the lowest average incline grade and Level 20 having the highest.
LEVEL | % Incline | LEVEL | % Incline | |
1 | 0.0 - 1.5 | 11 | 2.0 | - 8.5 |
2 | 0.0 - 2.2 | 12 | 3.0 | - 9.2 |
3 | 0.0 - 2.9 | 13 | 3.5 | - 9.9 |
4 | 0.0 - 3.6 | 14 | 5.0 | - 10.6 |
5 | 0.0 - 4.3 | 15 | 5.5 | - 11.3 |
6 | 0.0 - 5.0 | 16 | 6.5 | - 12.0 |
7 | 0.0 - 5.7 | 17 | 7.0 | - 12.7 |
8 | 0.0 - 6.4 | 18 | 8.0 | - 13.4 |
9 | 0.5 - 7.1 | 19 | 8.7 | - 14.1 |
10 | 1.5 - 7.8 | 20 | 9.0 | - 15.0 |
Within each level are seven incline percentages, or hills. During a workout, each hill appears in the CLASSIC PROFILE window as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows within a column corresponds to an incline percent- age. For example, in Level 5, the lowest incline is 0.0 percent and is represented as one lit row. The highest incline, 4.3 percent, is represented by a column with all seven rows lit.
In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed in the HILL workout description. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline percentage changes automatically to match that hill.
To change levels during a workout, use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad.
