RANDOM
is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern
or progression.
FAT BURN
is a low-intensity workout. The user must either wear a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, or
grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously. The program adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart
rate, to maintain the rate at 65% of the theoretical maximum.
CARDIO
is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardiovascular benefits and total calories
burned. The user must either wear a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse
sensors con-
tinuously. The program automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the
rate at 80% of the theoretical maximum.
SPEED INTERVAL
allows the user to toggle between user defined SLOW and FAST intensity levels. The SPEED
INTERVAL button will flash throughout the workout. The user can toggle the levels at any time during the work-
out by pressing the SPEED INTERVAL button. The current level will appear in the level display window.
The preset SLOW and FAST levels cannot be changed during a workout. The levels can be adjusted at any time
during a workout using the LEVEL ARROW keys.
HILL PLUS WORKOUTS
KILIMANJARO
is a HILL workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and
then gradually decline.
AROUND THE WORLD
is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographi-
cal areas.
CASCADES
is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.
FOOTHILLS
is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.
INTERVAL
is a HILL workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a
peak and then gradually decline.
The Life Fitness-patented
HILL
workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are peri-
ods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The WORKOUT PRO-
FILE window represents these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance
of hills and valleys. Each column 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. The program therefore condenses a workout of this duration at various
stages.
10 to 19 minutes:
The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For every
minute added by the user “on the fly”, each interval increases by three seconds. A 15-minute workout consists
of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each.
20 to 99 minutes:
All intervals last 60 seconds. If the user adds minutes to the pre-set duration while the
workout is in progress, the program adds hills and valleys that are identical to the first eight intervals of
the Interval Training phase. This pattern repeats until the workout is completed.
