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 START key 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.

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.

•
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 CARDIO workout is 144.
This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
