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 STARTkey or walk/jog/run keys. The workout
begins at an intensity level that remains the same unless manually changed. After one minute, the MESSAGE CENTER
displays a prompt to enter weight, which the computer requires to calculate total calories burned. If the weight is not
entered, calories will not be displayed.
SELECTING A WORKOUT
For MANUAL,FAT BURN,CARDIO,RANDOM, HILL, and FIT TEST: When prompted to select a workout, press the
CHANGE WORKOUTkey until the desired workout appears and then press ENTER.
ENTERING WEIGHT
When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter weight, use the TIME UP/DOWN ARROW keys (center keys) to
increase or decrease the displayed 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 (walking/running) speed and resistance (or incline). (Weight will be entered automatically after 10
seconds if no keys are pressed).
ENTERING TIME
When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter a time, use the TIME UP/DOWN ARROWkeys (center keys) to
increase or decrease the displayed time to the desired value and press ENTER. (Time will be entered automatically after
10 seconds if no keys are pressed).
ENTERING INCLINE (TREADMILLS ONLY)
When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter an incline, use the INCLINE UP/DOWN ARROWkeys (left keys) to
increase or decrease the displayed incline and press ENTER. (Incline will be entered automatically after 10 seconds if
no keys are pressed).
ENTERING SPEED (TREADMILLS ONLY)
When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter a speed, use the SPEED UP/DOWN ARROWkeys (right keys) to
increase or decrease the displayed speed and press ENTER.
ENTERING AGE
When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter age, use the TIME UP/DOWN ARROW keys (center keys) to
increase or decrease the displayed age to the correct value and press ENTER.
Life Fitness workout programs that set a target heart rate* zone first calculate the user’s theoretical maximum heart rate†
by subtracting the user’s age from the number 220. The programs then calculate the target zone as a percentage of the
theoretical maximum.
SELECTING AND ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE LEVEL / INTENSITY LEVEL
When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER, use the LEVELUP/DOWN ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed
resistance / intensity level.
• Resistance level: Bike and Cross-Trainer each support up to 25 levels. On each level, there are seven different
hills, they are mapped directly into the 7 rows of workout profile. Each hill offers finer tweaking of resistance. The
lowest and highest hills for a given level shall represents smaller resistance than those two points on the next
level.
• Intensity Level of Hill and Random Workouts (Treadmill):The steps for setting up a HILL or RANDOM workout
shall include selecting a level. Level refers to a range of incline percentages as outlined in the table on the fol-
lowing page.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIOworkout is 144.
This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
