Getting Started: Contact Heart Rate

GETTING STARTED

Contact Heart Rate

When using Contact Heart Rate make certain to grasp sensors firmly and keep hands still. If heart rate seems substantially higher or lower than expected, remove hands from sensors until heart rate disappears. Dry hands and grasp sensors again until heart rate seems accurate. If this does not work you may need to slow the machine to get an accurate reading. On treadmills we recommend for safety and accurate heart rate readings that the user stand on the siderails when attempting to monitor heart rate with contact electrodes.

Note: The contact heart rate system may be less or more accurate with different individuals.

How To Use: Basic Workouts Console

How to Use the Basic Workouts Display

The Basic Workouts console was designed to make navigation as simple as possible by using special symbols and keys. The console display was designed to reduce toggling between workout information. Each piece of workout feedback, including level, time and speed has its own dedicated window.

HOW TO

How To Use: Basic Workouts Console

How to Use the Basic Workouts Console

1 Level/Incline Display

a. Level Display (Bikes/Cross-Trainers) –

There are two types of levels used on Life

Fitness bikes and cross-trainers. The first

type of level is the actual brake resistance level. This

type of level is only adjustable by the user in a manual

workout. The range of possible brake resistance levels is

1-20. The second type of level is difficulty level. There

are 20 difficulty levels. Difficulty level corresponds to a

range of actual brake resistance levels and is only used

in random, hill, ez incline, and sports training workouts.

So when you select a difficulty level of 10 it

corresponds to a range of actual brake resistance levels

of 5-14. During random, hill, ez incline, and sports

training the difficulty level will only be displayed during

workout setup and anytime you choose to change the

level during the workout. At all other times during a

workout the actual level will be displayed. Please see the

table on the following page for specific difficulty level

information.

b. Level / Incline Display (Treadmills) – There are two

types of levels used on Life Fitness treadmills. The first

type of level is an incline level or percentage. Incline

level is only manually adjusted by the user in a manual

workout. The range of possible incline percentages is 0-

12% and can be adjusted in 0.5% increments. The

second difficulty level corresponds to a range of actual

incline percentages. Difficulty levels are only used in

random, hill, ez incline, and sports training workouts. So

when a user selects a difficulty level of 10 it

corresponds to a range of incline percentages between

3% and 7%. During random, hill, ez incline, and sports

training the difficulty level will be displayed only during

workout setup and anytime the difficulty level is

changed during the workout. At all other times during

these workouts the incline percentage is displayed.

Please see the table on the following page for specific

difficulty level information.

c. Changing the Level during a Workout –

To change the level during a workout the underscore

beneath the top row of workout feedback needs to be

positioned under level. If the underscore is not under

level, it can be moved using the left/right arrow keys. To

adjust the level simply press the up and down keys.

2 Time Display

Time displays the amount of time entered in minutes during

workout setup. Time can be adjusted in 1:00 minute increments. During workout setup time can be adjusted from 00:00 to 99:99 minutes. At the beginning of a workout, the user begins a warm up period, which is not included in the total time of the workout. To skip the warm up period press the down key until the warm up time is 00:00 and your workout time begins. Note: to adjust time make sure the underscore is under the display. During the workout time can be adjusted by pressing the up and down key. After the workout is complete an automatic cool-down period begins. It can be skipped by pressing the down key and reducing the time to 00:00. There is an option to set the time to count up or down from 00:00 and end at the time set during workout setup.

3 Speed Display

Speed is displayed in miles per hour (MPH). The formula tries to replicate miles per hour as if the exercise was being

conducted outdoors. The speed range on bikes and

cross-trainers is 0.5 mph and up, in increments of 0.1

mph. The speed range on treadmills is 0.5 mph to 10.0 mph and is adjustable in increments of 0.1 mph. Speed

can be converted to kilometers per hour in the settings menu. See Settings Section.

4 Distance Display

Distance is shown in miles. The distance formula tries to replicate

miles as if the exercise was being conducted outdoors. The distance formula will not always be consistent with other Life Fitness products or other manufacturer’s products. Distance can be converted to kilometers in the settings menu. See Settings Section.

5 Target Heart Rate Display

Target heart rate is a desired range during cardiovascular exercise which

enables one’s heart and lungs to receive the most benefit from a workout. The console calculates target heart rate by taking the maximum heart rate (220 minus the user’s age) and multiplying it by an intensity level. Life Fitness intensity levels are 65% for weight loss and fat burning and 80% for improving cardiovascular endurance. The display will toggle between the 65% and 80% intensity levels. An arrow pointing up or down will illuminate to show when the user’s actual heart rate is above or below the target heart rate. (Arrows are not functional with X1).

Example: User’s Age is 45. 220 – 45 175.

175 is the Maximum Heart Rate for a 45 year old. 175 x 65% = 114. 114 is the optimal target heart rate for weight loss and fat burning.

6 Heart Rate Display

Heart rate is the number of contractions of the heart in one

minute. The heart rate display calculates the user’s actual heart rate in contractions or beats per minute during a workout. User must be holding on to the contact heart rate electrodes for the heart rate display to function (not available on the X1). In order to get the best Heart Rate reading, Life Fitness recommends holding the sensors and remaining as still as possible to eliminate any muscle “noise” that is not related to the heart.

7 Calorie/Watts Display

A calorie is a unit used to measure energy. It represents the amount

of energy obtained from food. One calorie is approximately enough energy to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. The console calculates an average caloric burn based on a Life Fitness proprietary calorie equation. This formula may not match other manufacturer’s machines or other Life Fitness machines. Watts can also be viewed in this window if turned on in the settings menu. See Settings menu.

8 Workout Profile Display

This display graphically represents

a complete resistance profile of a workout. The time selected during a given workout is evenly distributed across 24 columns in the profile. The height of the columns (9 total) indicates the level and displays the intensity of a selected workout. The height of the columns does not change during a workout when the resistance is changed. The current intensity level in the profile is identified by an arrow pointing down to the column.

9 Workout Profile Indicator Arrow

The arrow located above the column in the workout profile displays the position the user is at in the workout. The

position is represented by the time entered during workout setup divided by the number of columns (24). For example during a 24 minute workout the arrow would move one column every minute.

10 Pause/Resume Button

When pressed once during a workout the workout is paused for 5 minutes. When pressed again the workout is resumed.

If the paused workout is not resumed within 5 minutes, the console deletes the workout in progress and returns to the setup workout state. The pause time can be modified in the user settings menu. See Settings Section. Note: If the user stops pedaling on a C3 or R3 Lifecycle, workout information will only be stored for approximately 1 minute. If the user continues pedaling, Pause will function as described above.

Workout Overviews

The Basic Workouts console has five specially designed pre-programmed workouts that have been developed by Life Fitness. Each workout has a different goal. Read the workout descriptions carefully so that you can develop a workout routine that focuses on reaching your specific goals.

The workout descriptions on the following pages are labeled Beginner-Just Starting or Experienced-Fit. Beginner workouts are designed for users just starting to create a workout routine. Beginner workouts have limited gradual intensity adjustments. Experienced workouts are workouts designed for users that want a more challenging workout and have a higher fitness level.

Different workouts require different setup steps. This section provides details on the steps themselves.

The main screen of the console is known as the “Select Workout” screen which looks like the following:

The hill workout has two main phases that are in between the warm-up and cool-down.

Plateau: Increases the intensity slightly and keeps

it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of

the target zone.

Interval Training: Is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or periods of

recovery. The heart rate should rise to the high end

of the target zone during this segment.

Goal: The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respiratory improvement than steady-pace training. The goal of this workout is to improve cardiovascular endurance and break through fitness plateaus.
