Heart Rate Monitoring
Seeing your heart rate
while exercising will
help you understand the
intensity of your exercise
and corresponding heart
rate training zone, and
predict health benefits
found through repeated bouts of exercise. Refer to the information below to understand your heart rate training zones:
Zone 5 — Performance Redline Zone: 90% - 100% of your Max HR
The performance zone involves extreme effort, requiring the heart to beat at or near maximum capacity. Training bouts include intense incline or sprinting, benefiting speed, power, and anaerobic performance competency.
Zone 4 — Threshold Zone: 80% - 90% of your Max HR
The threshold zone involves intense jogging or sub-maximal sprinting, typically unsustainable for long periods of time. Benefits include highlyelevated calorie burn, speed and power performance enhancement, improved lactate removal capabilities, and enriched heart health.
Zone 3 — Aerobic Zone: 70% - 80% of your Max HR
The aerobic zone is ideal for cardiovascular training. Workouts in this zone are more intense, involving moderate jogging. Long-term benefits are improved heart health and cardiovascular performance, reductions in blood pressure and cholesterol, and increased calorie burn.
Zone 2 — Temperate Zone: 60% - 70% of your Max HR
The temperate zone consists of moderate-intensity exercise, typically as fast walking to slow jogging. Speaking is more difficult and breathing is elevated. Benefits are similar to those of the healthy heart rate zone, though caloric expenditure is higher.
Zone 1 — Healthy Heart Zone: 50% - 60% of your Max HR
The healthy heart zone involves safe, low-intensity activity, like medium- to-brisk walking. Full conversations can be held, despite a gentle increase in respiration. Benefits include reduced risk of heart and vascular disease, moderated blood pressure and cholesterol, and improved insulin sensitivity.

About Your Treadmill
Hand Pulse Sensors
To use, grasp the sensors with a comfortable grip, with the palms of your hands placed over the sensors. If the sensors are having difficulty picking up your heart rate, use aloe or a moisturizer on your hands or further warm up as you exercise to increase the moisture in your hands. Dry hands do not transfer your pulse as effectively as moist hands.
Chest Strap
The TR6000i treadmills have integrated heart rate receivers built into the console. To purchase a heart rate chest strap go to www.LifeSpanFitness.com.
The chest strap should be worn as shown. When using a chest strap you may need to warm up first to increase the moisture in your skin. If this doesn’t work use aloe or another moisturizer where the sensors on the chest strap are making contact with your skin.
Note: The heart rate monitoring system will vary due to your age, method of use, physiology and other factors. LifeSpan cannot guarantee the accuracy of the heart rate readings.

About Your Treadmill
Advanced Programs
Remember, if you simply get on your treadmill and go at the same pace, for the same amount of time everyday your body will only improve to the level of the workouts you are pushing yourself to do. To help get the most out of your time spent exercising, LifeSpan treadmills include a full range of workout programs. All programs are available in either “Speed” or “Incline” mode with 3 levels of intensity that you select during program set-up. When the “Speed” mode is selected, the belt speed will vary during your workout while the incline level stays constant. In “Incline” mode the speed remains constant while the incline is adjusted by the program. In either mode you have full control of the setting that is not being controlled by the program.
The treadmill adds a three-minute warm up and cool down to each of these preset programs. It starts at 3 mph (for warm up) or 2.5 mph (for cool down), but you have full control over the speed. To skip warm up, press Start. To skip cool down, press Stop. The distance, steps, time, and calories you accumulate in warm up and cool down are not counted in your workout totals.
To complement these preset programs you also can use either of the 2 types of heart rate training programs or design your own program. Refer to your LifeSpan Club account for a full workout calendar using these programs.
Preset Programs
Long Slow Distance
(40 minutes default)
Long Slow Distance is a great
workout for anyone! Beginners can ease into their exercise program and should include a Long Slow Distance workout each week to maximize overall cardiovascular endurance development. Long Slow Distance workouts
are also great for experienced exercisers on days following a harder, higher intensity workout.
Short Interval
(20 minute default)
Short Intervals are ideal for
beginning exercisers that want to start gaining the benefits of interval workouts but aren’t quite ready for a longer-intensity interval workout. Short intervals are also ideal for experienced exercisers to develop their speed and anaerobic fitness. Remember, it’s important to vary exercise intensity and duration to maximize overall fitness development so be sure to include some interval workouts at least once a week.

About Your Treadmill
Moderate Interval
(30 minute default)
As you begin to exercise on a
regular basis and feel your fitness improving you will be ready to begin doing “Moderate Intensity Interval” workouts. Remember in this workout you alternate between an easy recovery interval and a higher intensity interval. You should feel comfortable to push yourself as you are never too far away from an easier recovery interval. This workout will improve your overall aerobic endurance while also maximizing anaerobic fitness development.
Long Interval
(40 minute default)
Long Interval workouts are great
to maximize calorie burn and improve anaerobic fitness. As in the Moderate Interval workouts, remember you have a recovery period after each higher intensity interval so you can comfortably push yourself to exercise at a progressively higher level.
Negative Interval 1
(30 minute default)
The Negative Interval-1 workout provides the benefits of a Steady
Pace workout but pushes you to slowly obtain a progressively higher steady state exercise intensity and then allows you to slowly decrease the exercise intensity. As your fitness level improve, you can slowly push yourself to a higher peak in overall exercise intensity.
Negative Interval 2
(30 minute default)
The Negative Interval-2 workout
has been designed to provide your body with a workout that begins with a slight increase in exercise intensity and ends with a progressive decrease in intensity. A workout with an increase and decrease in intensity will most ideally develop your overall aerobic cardiovascular endurance. A workout
that decreases in intensity is also ideal for maximizing calorie burn, but most ideally when done for a longer duration, such as 40 or 50 minutes.

About Your Treadmill
Fartlek
(30 minute default)
Varying your exercise intensity
with a constantly changing interval 
workout that starts out at an easy pace and then increases to a moderate or higher intensity pace will add variety into your workouts, make workouts go by faster and provide great fitness benefits. Constantly varying intensities
in a workout have been found in brain research to have great benefits on improving overall brain fitness.
Uphill Climb
(30 minute default)
Gradually increase the intensity of your exercise with this fun
Uphill Climb workout. The goal of the Uphill Climb is to stimulate your body to improve overall cardiovascular fitness while maximizing muscle cell development in working muscles. You will maximize calorie burn during the peak levels while allowing your body to exercise longer and still benefit from the higher intensity as you slow down and return to your starting level.
Pyramid Climb
(30 minute default)
Gradual increases in intensity is ideal to stimulate your body to
improve overall cardiovascular fitness, while also maximizing muscle cell development in working muscles. You will maximize overall calorie burn during the peak intensity levels while allowing your body to exercise for a longer duration and still benefit from the higher intensity as you gradually slowdown.
Plateau Climb
(40 minute default)
A Plateau Climb workout will provide you with all the benefits of
other steady state workouts, but push you to maintain a higher steady state exercise level. As you improve your overall health and fitness you can slowly push to a higher overall intensity for longer periods of time.
