Press Quick Start. See Section 4, titled The Workouts, for detailed information on using the console to set up workouts. A ENTER: Press this key after entering each value, such as weight or workout time, when prompted by console display messages. In this phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exercise, which build up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle soreness.

If the console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a MANUAL workout. Toggles with Heart Rate. If the on-board computer does not detect a heart rate, only Level is displayed throughout the workout. Toggles with Time. Toggles with Calories. The Met is an expression of the rate of work for the human body at rest, or a metabolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at rest.

Additionally, an integrated reading rack B for supporting a book or magazine is located at the base of the uppper panel of the console. 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 HeartSync zone training approach to exercise. Zone training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness. The values within the zone depend on the workout. NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.

Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4, titled The Workouts. During one of these workouts, grasp Life pulse system sensors, or wear the Polar heart rate chest strap to enable the on-board computer to monitor the heart rate.

Hold each sensors at the vertical midpoint. A The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears during the workout. 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 receiver.

The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing. However, it also functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing. If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and moisten them.

For more detailed information, see Section 4. RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

A peak in resistance is followed by an equally subtle decrease in resistance. The workout automaticaly adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum.

The workout automaticaly adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum. The valley always is defined as 85 percent of the target. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. The higher levels gradually incline toward a peak and then gradually decline.

This versatile workout promotes maximum cross-training benefits. MY WORKOUTS is not a workout program but a feature that allows the user to pre-set up to seven workouts with personal setup information, such as age or level, and then store the workouts in the console memory. To dismount, step off the pedals while still holding the handles. The workout begins at an intensity level that remains the same unless manually changed.

For more information, see Section 4. The on-board computer calculates the number and rate of calories burned using the entered weight as well as the pedaling RPMs.

The programs then calculate the target zone as a percentage of the theoretical maximum. Selecting a low intensity level at first is recommended. As physical conditioning improves, the levels can increase. During the workout itself, the program reads the heart rate, which is transmitted via the Life pulse system sensors or the Polar heart rate chest strap; and it uses this data to adjust the resistance.

After a switch, the console retains all the progress information about the workout since its beginning. While the workout is in progress, increase or lower the intensity level as desired, using the ARROW keys. More than one million different patterns are possible. Each hill matches a progressive degree of difficulty. Hills last between 30 and 60 seconds, depending on the workout duration.

The cardiovascular workout is effective, efficient, and enjoyable at the same time. The user determines the height of the peak of this hill by selecting an intensity level during the setup. The higher the level selected, the higher the intensity at the entry point, which is the beginning of the workout, and the higher the intensity at the peak, which occurs after 75 percent of the workout is completed.

After the peak is reached, the resistance gradually returns to the same intensity level as that of the entry point. This system eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel. The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.

Once the user reaches 90 percent of the target heart rate, the hill continues for one minute. When the minute expires, the level decreases into a valley. Then, the next hill begins with its corresponding heart rate goal. Throughout the workout, the user must grasp the Life pulse system sensors or wear a Polar heart rate chest strap to enable the program to monitor the heart rate.

Once the goal is reached, the hill continues for three minutes. Once the 90 percent goal is reached, the valley continues for three minutes, after which the next hill begins. The user's fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys encountered within the duration. Then, that target rate is maintained for a stabilizing period. When the heart rate falls to the 75 percent goal, it is maintained there for a stabilizing period.

The program repeats the alternating of intensity levels, continuing this pattern for the duration. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respiratory improvement than steady-pace training. As noted in the descriptions, the heart rate should be measured at two stages in the workout to gauge its effectiveness.

To do so, grasp the Life pulse system sensors, or wear the Polar heart rate chest strap. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each workout is made up of 20 intervals, so the duration of each interval is equal to the duration of the entire workout divided by A minute workout consists of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each.
