2 GETTING STARTED

2.1 THE HEART RATE TELEMETRY CHEST STRAP

The console is equipped with a wireless heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin,
transfer heart rate signals from the user to the console. The electrodes are inside the chest strap (A) that the user wears
during the workout. The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact
with bare skin. However it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing. The electrodes are two grooved surfaces
on the underside of the strap, and must remain wet to accurately transmit the electrical impulses of the heart back to the
receiver. To use, fi rst moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The
strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing. Electrodes must be wet to work properly. If
it becomes necessary to re-moisten, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from your chest to expose the electrodes,
and moisten. See diagram below for correct positioning of the strap.

Note: Using the wireless heart rate telemetry chest strap will provide more accurate heart rate readings than the hand
pulse sensors.

Note: To ensure the highest performance, use the wireless chest strap that was provided with the product.

A A

2.2 CONTACT HEART RATE

When using Contact Heart Rate make certain to grasp sensors fi rmly and keep hands still. If heart rate seems substan-
tially 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. We recommend, for safety and accurate heart rate readings, that the user stand on the side rails when attempting to
monitor heart rate with contact electrodes.

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

2.3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING

Research shows that maintaining a specifi c 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 Heart Rate Zone Training® approach
to exercise.

Zone Training identifi es an exerciser’s ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fi tness.
The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The maximal heart
rate formula is defi ned by the American College of Sports Medicine’s “Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription”,
8th Edition, 2009. HRmax equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age.

The LIFE FITNESS products feature these exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefi ts of Heart
Rate Zone Training+ exercise:

• FAT BURN • CARDIO • HEART RATE HILL • HEART RATE INTERVAL • EXTREME HEART RATE

Note: Consulting a fi tness trainer is recommended for defi ning specifi c fi tness goals and designing a workout program.

The HeartSync workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grip the contact heart
rate sensors, to enable the on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically
adjusts the incline or level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.
