2THE ACHIEVE DISPLAY CONSOLE

2.1 ACHIEVE DISPLAY CONSOLE OVERVIEW

The Achieve LED display console allows the user to t ailor a workout to personal fitness abilities and goals and to monitor
progress. With this easy-to-use console, the user can track fitness improvement from one workout to the next.

2.2 ACHIEVE DISPLAY CONSOLE DESCRIPTIONS

This section lists and describes the functions for the keys and display windows on the Achieve console. See Section 4 titled
The Workouts for detailed information on using the console to set up workout s.

A. QUICK START:

Non-treadmill products: Press this key to activate the console for programming a new workout. The activated console
lights up and displays “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START”. If no key is pressed for 15 seconds, and the
user stops pedaling, the console shuts down again. The Life Fitness AutoStart feature also activates the Achieve con­sole when the user steps on a product’s pedals and begins pedaling.

On treadmills: Press the QUICK START key on the console or Activity Zone or any of the W alk/Jog/Run keys. The
belt starts moving at 0.5 mph (0.8 kph) and 0% incline. If either of the W alk/Jog/Run keys are pressed, the belt starts
moving at the following speeds: walk (2 mph / 3 kph), jog (4 mph / 6 kph) run (6 mph / 9 kph).

B. ENTER: Press this key after entering each value, such as weight or workout time, when prompted by console dis-

play messages.

C. LEVEL UP/DOWN ARROW keys (non-treadmill products): Pressing the LEVEL ARROW keys, or the at-your-finger-

tips resistance controls on the bikes and cross-trainers (see Section 2.3 titled At-Your-Fingertips Resistance
Controls), increases or decreases the resistance level.

INCLINE UP/DOWN ARROW keys (treadmills only): Pressing the INCLINE ARROW keys increases or decreases
the incline on the treadmill as well as the level in Hill and Random workout s. These arrow keys also adjust t arget
heart rate*.

D. TIME UP/DOWN ARROW keys: When setting up a workout, use the TIME ARROW keys to change workout para-

meters displayed on the console, such as length of workout, weight, and age.

E. SPEED UP/DOWN ARROW keys (treadmills only): During a workout, pressing the SPEED ARROW keys changes

the speed of the belt.

NOTE:

Whenever an arrow key is pressed during a workout, an increase (up arrow key) or decrease (down arrow key) is
made to the corresponding parameter (level). The number that appears reflects that change. For example, if the user is at
level 6 and presses the right up arrow key, the number 7 will appear, reflecting that the user has chosen a new level.

* 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.

F. CLEAR (non-treadmill products): Pressing the CLEAR key once transitions the system to the W orkout Summary mode.

Pressing CLEAR during the data entry phase of the workout program will return the entry to the system default (i.e. press­ing CLEAR while entering your weight will return the weight value to 150 lbs). Pressing CLEAR twice activates the console
for programming a new workout. The activated console lights up and displays “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK
START”.

CLEAR (treadmills): Pressing the CLEAR key once causes the system to go into Pause Mode. Pressing the CLEAR key
twice transitions the system to the Workout Summary mode. Pressing CLEAR during the dat a entry phase of the workout
program will return the entry to the system default (i.e. pressing CLEAR while entering your weight will return the weight
value to 150 lbs).

G. CHANGE WORKOUT

MANUAL: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until MANUAL appears and select the MANUAL program, in which the
intensity level remains the same unless it is manually changed.

RANDOM: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until RANDOM appears and select the RANDOM program, which is a
workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular p attern or progression.

HILL: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until HILL appears and select the HILL program, in which periods of intense
aerobic exercise are separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise.

FAT BURN: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until FAT BURN appears and select the FAT BURN program, which is a
low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of calories from fat.

CARDIO: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until CARDIO appears and select the CARDIO program, which is a higher
intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefit s and high total calorie expenditure.

FIT TEST: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until FIT TEST appears and select the FIT TEST program, in which cardio­vascular fitness is estimated and can be used to monitor improvement s in endurance every four to six weeks.

H. COOL DOWN: Workout programs automatically end in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity level. Press the

Cool Down key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cool Down mode. In this phase of a workout
the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-product s of exercise, which build up in muscles during a
workout and contribute to muscle soreness. The console automatically adjusts each workout’s Cool Down level according
to the individual user ’s performance. The cool down duration is between 1 and 5 minutes for all workout s. A half of resis­tance level drops for every cool down minute within the 1-4 minute cool down duration. For cool down times that are
longer than 5 minutes, the resistance level drops by 1/4 for each minute.

Workout Time Cool Down Time

1-4 minutes 1 minute

5-10 minutes 2 minutes

10-19 minutes 3 minutes

Over 19 minutes 5 minutes

I. PAUSE: For treadmills, press the PAUSE key at any point during a workout to go immediately into Pause Mode. The belt

slowly comes to a stop. The workout is temporarily inactive and saved for a default time of 1 minute. Once the p ause time
reaches 1 minute, the workout summary appears.

Users have the following three options for bikes and cross-trainers:

• Press the PAUSE key and continue pedaling: the resistance level drops to Level 1. The workout is temporarily inactive
and saved for a default time of 1 minute. After 1 minute, the pause mode expires and the workout summary appears.
To resume the workout, press the PAUSE key a second time.

• Press the PAUSE key and stop pedaling: the resistance level drops to 0. The workout is temporarily inactive and af ter
1 minute the console shuts off. Press CLEAR once to see the workout summary. To resume the workout, begin pedal­ing.

• Stop pedaling: the resistance level drops to 0. The workout is temporarily inactive and af ter 1 minute the console shut s
off. Press CLEAR once to see the workout summary. To resume the workout, begin pedaling.

NOTE: Workouts will be paused if the user stops pedaling within 15 seconds of beginning a workout or drop s below 30
RPM during a workout. In either case, if the user doesn’t begin pedaling or increasing speed within 60 seconds, the
console shuts off.
