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  
user. 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  
Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout) allowing the user to set a predeter-  
mined length of time for the workout.  
Users may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, or TIME IN ZONE (only  
available for heart rate programs).  
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.  
For information on how to set, and get maximum benefit from, these type of workout goals consult a Personal Trainer.  
For further information on Zone Training see section 3.1, Heart Rate Zone Training, Why Heart Rate Zone Training  
Exercise.  
Level: Choose the programmed intensity level of the workout. Levels range from 1 to 20.  
Incline: Choose the amount of incline on the treadmill.  
Speed: Use to set the striding belt speed of the treadmill.  
Target Heart Rate*: (heart rate workouts only) Gives a recommended heart rate according to age. For Fat  
Burn, the target heart rate is computed at 65% of the theoretical maximum heart rate. For Cardio, the target  
heart rate is computed at 80%. For more information on Target Heart Rate, see Section 3, Heart Rate Zone  
Training Exercise.  
VALUE SETUP SCREENS  
Weight: Entering an accurate weight allows calories to be calculated, and enables Calories Burned and Calories  
per Hour.  
Age: Allows heart rate programs to accurately determine target heart rate.  
Gender: Used in the fit test prediction equation and associated fitness rating.  
4) WORKOUT PROGRESS  
The Workout Progress screen opens automatically upon completion of the setup, signaling the user to start the workout. This  
screen allows the user to monitor the progress of the workout. It provides a visual representation of the workout as it proceeds  
and monitors distance, pace, elapsed time, heart rate, incline, speed, and calories expended/calories per hour.  
From the Workout Progress Screen, goals including Time, Incline, Speed and Target Heart Rate* (for heart rate programs) can  
be changed at any point during the workout. This screen also accesses TV viewing. Not every goal item is available in every  
workout. Only valid goal times are shown and accessible in the workout progress screen during a workout.

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.

THE WORKOUTS  
4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS  
The following workouts are preprogrammed for the Life Fitness Treadmill.  
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting a specific workout pro-  
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.

4.2 USING THE WORKOUTS  
Select a workout. See the chart at the beginning of Section 4.3 for an overview of the steps required to set up each work-  
out.  
1) BEGINNING A WORKOUT  
There are three ways to being a workout: Quick Start, Select Workout (see Section 4.22) and Virtual Trainer (see Section  
4.5).  
SELECTING AND USING QUICK START  
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. It bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. On  
the home screen, press the QUICK START button. The workout begins at an intensity level that remains the same unless  
manually changed. Choose ENTER WEIGHT so that Calories Burned/Calories per Hour can be computed and displayed  
as workout statistics.

out categories which include Classic, Heart Rate +, Hill + and Advanced. Each workout button includes a listing of work-  
out programs or an easy to understand description of the workout. Once a workout is selected, the corresponding  
Workout Setup Screens which include goal type (time, distance, calories, distance climbed and pace), level, age, weight,  
distance, speed, incline, and target heart rate* will appear. Press ENTER after each selection to record it. After values  
are set, the workout progress screen appears and the workout begins.  
See section 4.3 for detailed information on available workouts.  
3) ENTERING WORKOUT GOALS  
SELECTING A GOAL TYPE  
Goal Type defaults to TIME (length of workout.) When prompted to enter a Goal Time, use the ARROW KEYS to  
increase or decrease the displayed time to the desired value, or key in the desired value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD,  
and press ENTER.  
Workouts can be programmed to target advanced goals other than the default time goal:  
DISTANCE  
CALORIES  
PACE  
DISTANCE CLIMBED  
TIME IN ZONE (for heart rate workouts only)  
The Distance Goal feature is designed to build endurance. The user sets a distance goal during the workout setup.  
Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase and ends afterward. To use this feature:  
1. Select a workout.  
2. In the Goal Type setup screen, choose DISTANCE, enter the desired distance goal, and select ENTER.  
3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.  
4. Begin the workout.  
The Calories Goal feature is designed to promote weight loss and weight control. The user sets a calorie goal during the  
workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase and ends afterward. To use  
this feature:  
1. Select a workout.  
2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose CALORIES, enter the desired calorie goal, and select ENTER.  
3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.  
4. Begin the workout  
* 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  
21  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The Pace Goal feature is designed to allow the user to set the pace of a workout. The user sets a pace goal during the  
workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase and ends afterward. A pace  
readout is displayed at the left of the screen showing numeric feedback regarding the user’s progress relating to the  
selected pace. To use this feature:  
1. Select a workout.  
2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose MORE, select PACE, enter the desired pace goal, and select ENTER.  
3. For Units, choose either ENGLISH (to set a pace speed in miles/time) or METRIC (to set a pace speed in  
kilometers/time).  
4. Enter the distance and time of the workout.  
5. The console will calculate the pace the user must maintain to finish the workout in the desired time.  
6. Select ENTER to approve the displayed pace or reenter the chosen time and distance.  
7. Begin the workout.  
The Distance Climbed Goal feature is designed to allow the user to set a distance climbed of a workout. The user sets  
a distance climbed goal during workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down  
phase and ends afterward. To use this feature:  
1. Select a workout.  
2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose MORE, select DISTANCE CLIMBED, enter the desired distance climbed goal,  
and select ENTER.  
3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.  
4. Begin the workout.  
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 rateby 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 in the fit test prediction equation and associated fitness rating.)  
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 user), 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.  
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 workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.

WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS  
QUICK START  
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the specific steps of selecting a specific workout pro-  
gram. After the QUICK START button (Touchscreen Display), a MANUAL workout begins. For Calories Burned/Calories per  
Hour to be computed and displayed during a workout, select the ENTER WEIGHT button which is required to calculate these  
values.  
The speed is set to the minimum level. To change the speed and stay in the Workout Progress screen, press the SPEED but-  
ton or the corresponding UP and DOWN ARROW KEYS on the Touchscreen Display.  
The incline level is set to zero by default. To change the incline and stay in the Workout Progress screen, press the INCLINE  
button or the corresponding UP and DOWN ARROW KEYS on the Touchscreen Display.  
CLASSIC WORKOUTS  
MANUAL  
The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level or speed at any time.  
RANDOM  
The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million differ-  
ent patterns are possible.  
HILL  
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 workout uses the body’s fat stores and carbohydrates as sources  
of fuel. A high percentage of total expended energy is from fat.  
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) and more calories from fat are burned in this workout. The user wears a chest strap or  
grips the Lifepulse system sensors. The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier work-  
load on the heart muscle.  
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.

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 maximumfor 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  
calculates 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
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.

MILITARY  
When enabled the Life Fitness Treadmill features additional fitness tests based upon specific predefined protocols. (See  
Section 5.2, Manager’s Configuration 2, Fit Tests, for information on how to enable these tests.)  
NAVY PRT: 1.5 miles  
The running portion of the U.S. Navy Physical Readiness Test is a distance goal test based on the time needed  
to complete the required distance and is used by the U.S. Navy and Naval academies to measure aerobic  
capacity.  
AIR FORCE PRT: 1.5 miles  
The U.S. Air Force Physical Readiness Test is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance  
and cardiorespiratory fitness.  
ARMY PFT: 2.0 miles  
The U.S. Army Physical Fitness Test is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and  
cardiorespiratory fitness.  
MARINES PFT: 3.0 miles  
The U.S. Marines Physical Fitness Test is a physical performance test used to assess muscular endurance and  
cardiorespiratory fitness.  
Scores for these tests are based on finishing time, age, and gender.  
To set up one of these tests, choose ADVANCED workouts, FIT TESTS, MILITARY, and choose the desired test. Then  
press ENTER. If the selected test is either the NAVY or MARINES test, the Message Area displays a question as to  
whether the test is taking place below a certain altitude. For the NAVY test, the altitude is 5,000 feet above sea level;  
and for the MARINES test, the altitude is 4,500 feet above sea level. Using the ARROW KEYS, select the correct  
answer from: “ABOVE 5,000 FEET”(NAVY) / “ABOVE 4,500 FEET”(MARINES) or “BELOW 5,000 FEET”(NAVY) /  
“BELOW 4,500 FEET”(MARINES)  
Go through the setup screens for the Fit Test, which may include Weight, Age, and Gender. Press ENTER after each entry.  
Then, begin the workout. To ensure an accurate test score, do not change these entries once the workout begins.  
For all FITNESS TESTS except GERKIN, after the distance goal is reached, the workout program goes into a cool down.  
The duration of this phase depends on the amount of time taken to complete the test. For less than five minutes, the cool  
down is one minute. For five to 15 minutes, the cool down is three minutes. For longer times, the cool down is five minutes.  
The user can abort the cool down by pressing the STOP key. After the cool down is aborted or completed, the Message  
Area displays the finishing time and a point score for the PEB, Army, Air Force, and Marines tests; or a qualitative score,  
such as EXCELLENT, for the Navy test.  
For the Gerkin test, the time at which the heart rate reached the target heart rate and is maintained for 15 seconds, and a  
converted VO2 MAX value will be shown in the MESSAGE AREA during the workout summary.

other federal organizations for the hiring and maintenance of federal jobs.  
CREATE YOUR OWN  
CREATE YOUR OWN workouts enable the user to design personalized workouts based on SPEED INTERVAL or on  
HEART RATE INTERVAL. CREATE YOUR OWN WORKOUTS may be disabled through the manager’s configuration  
screen (See Section 5.2, Configuration Menu, Manager’s Configuration 2, Create Your Own, for details). Users cannot  
name and save their workout.  
SPORT TRAINING  
These goal oriented workouts are designed for runners training for races. The programs create realistic terrains by setting dif-  
ferent incline levels throughout the course. Incline grades depend on the difficulty levels selected during the workout setup. A  
1.5 percent incline grade, which is the baseline level, simulates a flat running surface. A zero percent grade simulates running  
downhill. Incline durations range between 30 and 60 seconds. The course ends when the goal is met. The following Sport  
TrainingTM programs are available on this unit:  
SPORT TRAININGTM (5K) is a 5-kilometer, or 3.1-mile, course.  
SPORT TRAININGTM (10K) is a 10-kilometer, or 6.2-mile, course.  
SPEED INTERVAL allows the user to toggle between user defined jog and run speeds. The user can toggle the  
speeds at any time during the workout, or adjust the speeds “on the fly.”  
SPEED TRAINING is a Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low levels very  
quickly to simulate a typical speed-training workout.

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.  
4.5 ADDITIONAL FEATURES  
AUDIO CUES  
Audio Cues alert users to stages of their workout. Note that audio events are disabled while the TV or FM radio features  
are in operation. The user may also disable Audio Cues through the Manager's Configuration screen (See Section 5.2,  
Manager’s Configuration 2, Audio Cues, for details).  
Startup Sound: Plays when a workout begins, such as when the Quick Start key is pushed or the workout  
timer starts running on any other workout.  
Pause Sound: Plays when a workout is paused and when a paused workout resumes.  
Finish Sound: Plays when a workout enters the cool down phase, when a workout is complete, and when  
the Workout Summary is displayed.  
Heartbeat Sound: Plays to prompt the user to grasp the contact heart rate sensors.
