G. CHANGE WORKOUT MANUAL: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until MANUAL appears and select the MANUAL program, in which the intensity level remains the same unless it is manually changed.

CCESSORY EADING A built-in reading rack (A) allows a book or magazine to be supported during the workout. A built-in accessory tray (B) provides storage for items such as water bottles, personal media devices, and cell phones.
Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness heart rate zone training approach to exercise.

These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap and telemetry electrodes are optional. To order, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services (see page 1 of this manual). See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiv- er.

The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The WORKOUT PROFILE window represents these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys. The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respiratory improvement than steady-pace training.

The Life Fitness Fit Test program is another exclusive feature. The Fit Test workout estimates cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six weeks. The user must grasp the Lifepulse hand sensors when prompted or wear a heart rate chest strap, as the test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading.

It is important for you to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. Your heart rate is dependent on many factors, including: amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended) time of day time since last meal (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended) time since last beverage containing caffeine or alcohol, or cigarette (at least four hours is recommended) time since last exercise (at least six hours is recommended) data input that exceeds human potential...
