Intensity level:
The Life Fitness Stairclimber provides a selection of 20 resistance levels. The step speed for
Level 1, the easiest setting, is two floors per minute; the tiers of difficulty increase up to Level 20, with a step rate of
13 floors per minute. The intensity level appears in the WORKOUT PROFILE window as columns of light. Selecting
a low intensity level at first is recommended. As physical conditioning improves, the levels can increase.
•
Target heart rate
: Programs that calculate a target heart rate base this number on the age of the user and the
type of workout. The user accepts or adjusts the rate when setting up the workout. During the workout itself, the
program reads the heart rate, which is transmitted via the heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors;
it uses this data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate increases the intensity of the cardiovascular ex-
ercise.
