    NOTE: All changed preset values are lost when the treadmill is turned off. 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.

  • Page 20: Random

    Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW and the chart above, represents one interval. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. 1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the Hill program to complete all four phases adequately.

  • Page 21: Zone Training

    RAINING ORKOUTS During the setup for each of these workouts, the treadmill computer calculates a target heart rate* based on age and the workout type. The MESSAGE CENTER displays this target rate and prompts the user to accept or change it.
  • Page 22 Valley Valley Valley EART NTERVAL This program also combines the standard HILL workout profile with a Heart Rate Zone Training workout. It alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate*, and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 90 percent of the target.

  • Page 23: Cool-Down

    That target rate is maintained for a stabilizing period. Then, the incline is reduced to 0 percent, and the treadmill slows to the walk speed. When the heart rate falls to the 75 percent goal, it is maintained there for a stabilizing period.

  • Page 24: My Workout

    ORKOUT The My Workout feature on this treadmill makes it possible to pre-set up to four workouts with personal setup information, such as age or desired speed, and then store the workouts in the console memory. These workouts are accessed with the MY WORKOUTS key.
