This Operation Manual describes the functions of the following products:
Life Fitness Treadmills:
Platinum Club Series Treadmill
See "Specifications" in this manual for product specific features.
Statement of Purpose: The treadmill is an exercise machine that enables users to walk or run, in place, on a moving sur-
face.
Health-related injuries may result from incorrect or excessive use of exercise equipment. Life Fitness STRONG-
LY recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before undertaking an exercise program, par-
ticularly if the user has a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease, or is over the age of 45, or
smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or has not exercised regularly in the past year.
If, at any time while exercising, the user experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, he or she
must stop immediately.
Des problèmes de santé peuvent être causés par une utilisation incorrecte ou excessive de l'équipement. Life
Fitness recommande FORTEMENT de consulter un médecin pour subir un examen médical complet avant de
commencer tout programme d'exercice, et tout particulièrement si l'utilisateur a des antécédents familiaux d'hy-
pertension ou de troubles cardiaques, s'il a plus de 45 ans, s'il fume, s'il a du cholestérol, s'il est obèse ou n'a
pas fait d'exercice régulièrement depuis un an.
Si, pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, l'utilisateur ressent un malaise, des vertiges, des douleurs ou des difficultés
à respirer, il doit s'arrêter immédiatement.

GETTING STARTED
1.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using the treadmill.
OPERATION
•
•
Always follow the console instructions for proper operation.
Never insert objects into any opening in this product. If an object should drop inside, turn off the power, unplug the
power cord from the outlet, and carefully retrieve it. If the item cannot be reached, contact Life Fitness Customer
Support Services.
•
•
Do not reach into, or underneath, the unit or tip it on its side during operation.
Never place liquids of any type directly on the unit, except in an accessory tray or holder. Containers with lids are
recommended.
•
Do not use this product in bare feet. Always wear shoes. Wear shoes with rubber or high-traction soles. Do not use
shoes with heels, leather soles, cleats or spikes. Make sure no stones are embedded in the soles.
•
•
•
Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, and towels away from moving parts.
Handrails may be held to enhance stability as needed, but are not for continuous use.
Never mount or dismount the treadmill while the running belt is moving. Use the handrails whenever additional sta-
bility is required. In case of an emergency, such as tripping, grasp the handrails, and place the feet on the side plat-
forms.
•
•
Never walk or jog backwards on the treadmill.
The system issues immobilization of the treadmill when a pre-defined hard key sequence has been activated by the
club manager. This sequence is currently defined as 3 STOP key presses followed by 3 SPEED DOWN ARROW
key presses. To prevent false toggling of the Immobilized feature, this sequence should be limited to a pre-defined
time period (i.e. sequence must be done in a 5-10 second period). Sequence should also enforce that only
PRESSED events are used (i.e. if HELD or RELEASED are detected during the sequence then, the sequence is
rejected). Once the Workout Logic sees this event, it toggles the Immobilization configuration item, saves it in the
registry, and then issues an ImmobilizationStatus event to the system.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

TYPES OF WORKOUT SETUP SCREENS
GOAL SETUP SCREENS

For Distance, Calories, Pace, Distance Climbed, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how long it
takes to reach the goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose COOL DOWN from
the bottom of the display to go immediately into the cool down phase, or choose CHANGE WORKOUT to access a
different program. For more information, see Section 4.2, Using the Workouts, Selecting a Goal Type.

HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE
3.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE?
Research shows that maintaining a specific 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 identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fit-
ness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The Life
Fitness Treadmill features five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone
Training exercise:
• FAT BURN
• CARDIO
• HEART RATE HILL
• EXTREME HEART RATE†
• HEART RATE INTERVAL
Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4, The Workouts.
NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals
and designing a workout program.
The Heart Rate Zone Training workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the option-
al telemetry chest strap, or grip the Lifepulse sensors, to enable the treadmill’s on-
board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatical-
ly adjusts the incline level to maintain the target heart rate* based on the actual heart
rate.
To change the target heart rate during a workout, simply enter a new target heart rate
either by typing in the desired number on the keypad or by pressing the Heart Rate
button on the Touchscreen.
To switch between programs during a workout, use the CHANGE WORKOUT button.
† Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This work-
out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.

3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING
THE LIFEPULSETM SYSTEM
To use the treadmill’s Lifepulse system to check the heart rate during a workout, grasp the stainless steel sensors on the
ErgoTM front handlebar. Two sensors are located on each of the handlebars. Contact must be maintained with all four
sensors to obtain a heart rate. The console displays a heart rate within 20 to 30 seconds of contact with the sensors.
Do not attempt to grasp the sensors at speeds above walking pace (usually above 4.5 MPH, or 7.2 KPH). For these
speeds, the use of a heart rate chest strap is recommended.
THE OPTIONAL HEART RATE CHEST STRAP
The Life Fitness Treadmill is equipped with Polar® telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed
against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the treadmill console. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the
user wears during the workout. The chest strap is optional. To order it, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services at 1-800-
351-3737.
See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on
the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiv-
er. 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.
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.
If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the
chest to expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them.
During the setup of a heart rate zone training workout, the user will be required to enter a start-up speed. If a heart rate
chest strap is not detected, the maximum allowable speed is 4.5 mph. If a heart rate chest strap is detected, the maxi-
mum speed is 14 mph.

gram. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a constant level workout begins. The intensity level does not change automati-
cally.
CLASSIC WORKOUTS
CLASSIC WORKOUTS are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following
workouts may be accessed with this button:
MANUAL is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level or speed at any time.
RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or
progression.
HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular peri-
ods of lower-intensity exercise.
HEART RATE + WORKOUTS
HEART RATE + workouts are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following
workouts may be accessed with this button:
FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning the body’s fat reserves. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or
grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously. The program adjusts the intensity level through changing the incline (eleva-
tion), based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum†.
CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat
burning. The user wears a 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 80 percent of the theoretical
maximum.
HEART RATE HILL takes the user through three different hills based on the target heart rate*. The user wears a
heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously.
HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between a hill and a valley based on the target heart rate*. The user wears
a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors continuously.
EXTREME HEART RATE is an intense workout for more experienced users. It is designed to get the heart rate
up and down as quickly as possible. The user wears a heart rate chest strap, or grasps the Lifepulse sensors
continuously.
HILL + WORKOUTS
HILL PLUS are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The following workouts may be
accessed with this button:
AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical
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.
KILIMANJARO is a Hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then
gradually decline.
† Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user’s recommended THR for the HEART RATE HILL and
HEART RATE INTERVAL workouts is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

The Time in Zone Goal program enhances a workout by setting a certain duration within the target heart rate* as a
workout goal. The program automatically alters the resistance to maintain a pace that will meet that objective within that
duration. Once the objective is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase. To use the Time In Zone
Goal feature:
1. Select a workout.
2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose TIME IN ZONE (some workouts require the user to choose the MORE option
first), enter the desired amount of time, and select ENTER.
3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.
4. Begin the workout.
NOTE: Time in Zone is directly correlated to fitness level. Since the program will continue to increase resistance until the goal
is met, it may be wise to start low and work towards a higher goal. Choose COOL DOWN at any time, to exit the workout and
immediately enter a cool down phase.
For help setting TIME IN ZONE goals, consult a personal trainer. For more information on Heart Rate Zone Training, see
Section 3.1, Why Heart Rate Zone Training?
INTENSITY LEVEL
The Life Fitness Treadmill provides several different ways to adjust the intensity level of an workout. When prompted, use the
ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed intensity level or target heart rate* to the desired value, or choose the
desired value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and press ENTER. Adjust the level as needed or desired during the workout.
•
•
Intensity level: The Life Fitness Treadmill provides a selection of 20 intensity levels. Each level represents a range of
incline percentages. (See Section 4.4, Maximizing Workouts on a Life Fitness Treadmill, for a chart showing all 20
levels.) The Workout Profile Window displays the levels of intensity in a workout-in-progress as proportional
columns. The height of the column furthest to the left is proportional to the current level of intensity. Selecting a
low intensity level at first is recommended. As physical conditioning improves, the levels can increase.
Target heart rate: Programs that calculate a target heart rate* base this number on the age of the user and the type of
workout. The user accepts or adjusts the rate when setting up the workout. During the workout itself, the program
reads the heart rate, which is transmitted via the Polar heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors; and it
uses this data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate increases the intensity of the cardiovascular exercise.
* 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.

4) ENTERING WORKOUT VALUES
AGE: When prompted to enter Age, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed age to the correct
value, or key in the correct value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and press ENTER.
Life Fitness Treadmill workout programs that set a target heart rate* zone first calculate the user’s theoretical maximum
heart rate† by subtracting the user’s age from the number 220. The programs then calculate the target zone as a per-
centage of the theoretical maximum.
WEIGHT: Select weight and press enter. Entering an accurate weight allows for a more accurate calorie calculation.
GENDER: Select gender and press enter. (Used for the Fitness Testing workouts.)
5) USING MARATHON MODE
If Marathon Mode is enabled, a Marathon Mode button will appear in the time entry screen when configuring a workout.
Selecting Marathon Mode sets the workout to an unlimited time workout. The workout can then be ended only by the
user or one of the emergency stop systems.
Within a workout, Marathon Mode can be changed by pressing the Time Key. Pressing the Time Key makes it possible
to set a time goal as long as it's not less than the time already spent in the workout. A new time goal must be set and
entered to override Marathon Mode.
6) CHANGING/ENDING A WORKOUT
SWITCHING WORKOUTS “ON-THE-FLY”
It is possible during a workout, to switch to another workout program. After a switch, the console retains all the progress
information about the workout since its beginning. To change workouts “on the fly,” simply press CHANGE WORKOUT
and then choose a new workout. To switch to a new workout, and restart the progress information, choose CHANGE
WORKOUT and then RESET.
PAUSING WORKOUTS
Press the PAUSE key to stop the belt and hold the current workout. A RESUME WORKOUT button and EXIT button
appear on the Touchscreen. Continue the workout by selecting RESUME. The pause duration defaults to 1 minute (con-
figurable by the manager), after which, the console returns to the Home Screen. End the workout by selecting EXIT.
A workout can also be paused by using ZEROUT speed control. If, during a workout, a user decreases the speed to the
minimum and continues to hold the DECREASE SPEED ARROW, the speed falls to 0 (zero) MPH, which is pause
mode. The minimum speed is 0.5 MPH, unless changed in the Manager’s Configuration. See section 5.3, Configuration
Settings, Manager’s Configuration 2, for more information.
ENDING WORKOUTS EARLY
To end a workout early, press COOL DOWN on the bottom of the Touchscreen to go directly into the cool down phase. The
COOL DOWN button changes into an END WORKOUT button. A user can stop a workout by pushing the END WORKOUT
button; otherwise the cool down phase will automatically begin. The program will designate a cool down time period in propor-
tion to the amount of time spent in the workout. Upon completion of cool down, the Workout Summary screen will appear. To
exit the program without a cool down press the STOP button or select CHANGE PROGRAM, and then RESET.
WORKOUT SUMMARY
Upon ending a workout, a workout summary will appear. The Workout Summary information includes the Average Speed,
Distance, Calories Burned, Average Heart Rate and Elapsed Time. The duration of the Workout Summary screen defaults to 1
minute. To extend the screen time, press the More Time button to reset the counter to 1 minute. Workout summary data can
be saved to a USB stick for use in future review and tracking.

The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense
cardiovascular exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The CLASSIC PROFILE WINDOW represents
these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys. The computerized
interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardiorespiratory improvement than steady-
pace training.
The HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The CLASSIC PROFILE WINDOW dis-
plays the progress of these phases. As noted in the descriptions below, the heart rate should be measured at two stages in the
workout to gauge its effectiveness. Wear the chest strap or continuously grip the LifepulseTM handles. The Message Area does
not display a request for a heart rate measurement, as it does with CARDIO, FAT BURN and the HEART RATE ZONE
TRAINING programs.

Warm-up is a phase of low, gradually rising resistance, which brings the heart rate into the lower end of the target
zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles.
Plateau increases the intensity slightly, and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target zone.
Check the heart rate at the end of this phase
Interval Training is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or stints of recovery. The heart rate
should rise to the high end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.
Cool-down is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid, and other exercise by-prod-
ucts, which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.
Each column, as seen in the CLASSIC PROFILE WINDOW and the chart above, represents one interval. The overall
duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each workout is made up of 20 intervals, so the duration
of each interval is equal to the duration of the entire workout divided by 20.
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 over
10, 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.
HEART RATE + WORKOUTS
FAT BURN
The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax) for
optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap or grasps the Lifepulse sensors. If the user is not wear-
ing a chest strap, the WORKOUT PROGRESS SCREEN displays a heart shape, and the Message Area prompts the user to
grasp the sensors. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the treadmill
to reach and maintain the target* (See note below). This system eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the
aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel.
CARDIO
The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate* is calculated at 80 percent of the
theoretical maximum† (HRmax). The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload
on the heart muscle (See note below).
NOTE: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can be only changed by the user. Change the target heart rate at
any time by using the arrow keys under the THR, or by touching the THR button to access the Target Heart Rate
Workout Setup Screen.
HEART RATE HILLTM
This program combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default tar-
get heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate
during the workout setup. All hills and valleys are percentages of HRmax. The workout consists of three hills that target
three heart rate goals: The first hill brings the heart rate to 70 percent of HRmax. The second hill increases the rate to 75
percent of HRmax. The third hill matches the Target Heart Rate bringing the heart rate to 80 percent of HRmax. The val-
ley always is defined as 65 percent of HRmax.

User Example: 80 percent of theoretical maximum (HRmax) (40 year old / 144 recommended BPM)
After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the user reach-
es 70 percent of HRmax, the hill continues for one minute. When the minute expires, the level decreases into a valley. Once
the user's heart rate falls to 65 percent of HRmax, the valley continues for one minute. Then, the next hill begins with its cor-
responding heart rate goal. After the user completes the third hill/valley pair, the program returns to the first hill and repeats
the cycle as long as the duration allows. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase. If the heart rate
goes above the theoretical maximum for more then 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause mode. If the user
does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the Message Area displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed,
depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until
the user reaches the current goal.
† Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This work-
out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117. For the CARDIO and HEART RATE HILL workouts it is 144, or 80 per-
cent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

HEART RATE INTERVAL
This program also combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default
target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target
rate during the workout setup. The workout alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate of 80
percent of HRmax, and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 65 percent of HRmax. After a standard three-minute
warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the goal is reached, the hill continues for three
minutes. Then, the level decreases into a valley. Once the 65 percent of HRmax goal is reached, the valley continues for three
minutes, after which the next hill begins. The user's fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys encountered within
the duration. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase. If the heart rate goes above the theoreti-
cal maximum† for more then 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause mode. If the user does not reach a
heart rate goal after five minutes, the Message Area displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed, depending on whether
the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the cur-
rent goal.

EXTREME HEART RATE
This intense, varied workout is designed to help more experienced users to break through fitness improvement plateaus. The
workout alternates between two target heart rates* as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. The
user must wear a chest strap or grip the LifepulseTM sensors throughout the workout.
NOTE: It is recommended that users who run at speeds faster than 4.5 MPH wear the chest strap and do not use the
LifepulseTM sensors.
When setting up the workout, the user enters a target heart rate and selects a walk speed and a jog speed. After a stan-
dard three-minute warm-up, the treadmill accelerates to the jog speed, and the incline increases, until the user reaches
the target heart rate goal of 85 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax). That target rate is maintained for a stabiliz-
ing period. Then, the incline is reduced to 0 percent, and the treadmill slows to the walk speed. When the heart rate falls
to the 65 percent of HRmax goal, it is maintained there for a stabilizing period. The program repeats the alternating of
speeds and incline levels, continuing this pattern throughout the duration.
If the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the Message Area displays a prompt to increase or
decrease speed, depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new
heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.

ADVANCED WORKOUTS
FIT TESTS
LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST
The treadmill Life Fitness Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile treadmill. The Fit Test workout
measures cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six weeks. The
user must grasp the hand sensors when prompted or wear a heart rate chest strap, as the test score calculation is
based on a heart rate reading. The workout duration will be five minutes at a 5% incline. Immediately afterward, the con-
sole will take the user's heart rate reading, calculate a fitness score, and display the score in the Message Area.
The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenat-
ed blood to the exercising muscles, and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. Physicians and
exercise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic capacity.
To set up the Fit Test:
z
Choose ADVANCED, FIT TESTS, LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST.
z
Go through the setup screens for the Fit Test, including weight, and age and gender. Press ENTER after each
selection to record the entry. (Gender does not require selecting ENTER afterwards.)
z
The setup screen for Speed will appear. (ENTER SPEED: 2-4.5 mph). Consult the following recommended fit test
level chart for an appropriate effort level based on age, gender and activity level. Press ENTER after the selection.
After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score will be displayed.

z
data input that exceeds human potential
If an error is made when entering any Fit Test data, correct it by pressing CLEAR, inputting the correct information, and
pressing ENTER.
It is important to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. Heart rate is dependent on many factors,
including:
z
amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)
z
time of day
z
time of last meal (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)
z
time since last beverage containing caffeine or alcohol, or cigarette (at least four hours is recommended)
z
time since last exercised (at least six hours is recommended)
For the most accurate Fit Test results, perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and average the three scores.
NOTE: To receive a proper Fit Test score, the work done must be within a training heart rate zone that is 60 percent to
85 percent of the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax). This rate is defined by the American College of Sports
Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual's age.

WORKOUT LANDSCAPE™ PERSPECTIVES
Workout Landscapes provide users with three additional ways to visualize progress through a workout.
1) 400-METER TRACK (DEFAULT)
The 400-Meter Track appears whenever a workout begins. This Landscape
shows the current workout as an indicator line that traces a path around a
400-meter track, marking off 100-meter intervals. Every time the user travels
400 meters, taking the indicator line all the way around the track, the lap
counter in the lower left of the profile screen increases by one and the indica-
tor line starts over at the beginning of the track. To return to the 400-Meter
Track after selecting a Workout Landscape, touch the 400-Meter Track icon in
the top left of the profile screen.
2) CLASSIC PROFILE
Switch to the Classic Profile by touching the Classic Profile icon in the top left
of the profile screen. This view shows the level of intensity in a workout-in-
progress as proportional columns. The height of the column furthest to the left
is proportional to the current level of intensity.
3) MOUNTAIN
Switch to the Mountain Landscape by touching the Mountain icon in the top
left of the profile screen. This Landscape shows the current workout as an
indicator line that traces a path up the face of a 2,000 foot / 610 meter high
mountain. Every time the user climbs the equivalent of 2,000 feet / 610
meters, taking the indicator line to the top of the mountain, the mountain
counter in the lower left of the profile screen increases by one and the indica-
tor line starts over at the base of the mountain.
4) 5K NATURE TRAIL
Switch to the 5K Nature Trail Landscape by touching the Trail icon in the top
left of the profile screen. This Landscape shows the current workout as an
indicator line that traces a path around a 5-kilometer trail, marking off 1-kilo-
meter intervals. Every time the user travels 5 kilometers, taking the indicator
line all the way around the trail, the lap counter in the lower left of the profile
screen increases by one and the indicator line starts over at the beginning of
the trail.

Within each level are seven incline percentages, or hills. During a workout, each hill appears in the CLASSIC PROFILE
window as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows within a column corresponds to an incline percent-
age. For example, in Level 5, the lowest incline is 0.0 percent and is represented as one lit row. The highest incline, 4.3
percent, is represented by a column with all seven rows lit.
In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed in the HILL workout
description. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline percentage changes automatically to match that
hill.
To change levels during a workout, use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad.
COOL DOWN
Life Fitness' unique cool down protocol automatically customizes every cool down based on each user's workout perfor-
mance. Workout performance factors, such as speed, incline, duration, and heart rate, determine the duration and inten-
sity of the cool-down.
