3 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 fitness. The values within the zone depend on the workout.
3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING THE LIFEPULSETM DIGITAL HEART RATE MONITORING SYSTEM The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on the Life Fitness Summit Trainer. For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout: • Grasp the sensors (A) firmly, but do not squeeze tightly. • Hold each sensors at the vertical midpoint. • Keep hands steady and in place. The console displays the heart rate within 20 to 30 seconds (typical) after the user grasps the sensors.
THE POLAR® TELEMETRY HEART RATE MONITORING CHEST STRAP The Life Fitness Summit Trainer is equipped with Polar® heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the 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. See Section 6.4, titled How to Obtain Product Service.
4 THE WORKOUTS 4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS This section lists the Life Fitness Summit Trainer’s pre-programmed workouts. For more detailed information, see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts. QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting a specific workout program. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a constant-level workout begins. The intensity level does not change automatically.
PERSONAL TRAINER workouts are customized workouts designed either for the advanced user or to be used in connection with a personal trainer. These workouts include: CROSS-TRAIN AEROBICS simulates the experience of working with a personal trainer. The user is prompted at different times to emphasize pushing, pulling, total body, lower body, speed changes. This versatile workout promotes maximum cross-training benefits.
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 certain types of goals other than the default time goal: • Distance • Calories • Time in zone (for heart rate workouts only) The Distance Goal feature is designed to build endurance.
SELECTING AND ADJUSTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL 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 Summit Trainer provides a selection of 26 intensity levels (0 to 25). The resistance is independent of speed.
6) CHANGING/ENDING WORKOUTS 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.
4.3 WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS QUICK START QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program.

SUMMIT TRAINER WORKOUT SETUP STEPS NOTE: AFTER ENTERING A VALUE (AGE, WEIGHT, HEIGHT, GENDER) OR A GOAL (TIME, LEVEL, THR), PRESS ENTER TO REGISTER THE SELECTION.
HILL The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The WORKOUT 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 cardio-respiratory improvement than steady-pace training.
HILL PLUS The Life Fitness patented HILL PLUS workouts give even more ways to vary interval training. Based on the same principles as the HILL workout, Hill Plus workouts are customized to resemble different locations/training scenarios to add variety and challenge to Hill workouts 1) AROUND THE WORLD An interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical areas. 2) CASCADES A two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.
ZONE TRAINING Zone Training workouts target specific ranges, or zones, for maintaining a heart rate to achieve maximum exercise results. 1) HEART RATE HILLTM This program 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. All hills and valleys are percentages of HRmax.
2) HEART RATE INTERVALTM 80% HRmax Warm-up Hill Hill Hill 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.
3) EXTREME HEART RATETM This intense, varied workout is designed to help more experienced users 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. When setting up the workout, the user enters a target heart rate.
PERSONAL TRAINER Personal Trainer workouts are customized workouts designed either for the advanced user or to be used in connection with a personal trainer. 1) CROSS-TRAIN AEROBICS During this workout, the unit prompts the user to emphasize different muscle groups. To emphasize upper-body muscles, the user is prompted to focus on pushing and pulling the moving arms at various times.
FIT TEST PROGRAM SUGGESTED EXERTION LEVELS Summit Trainer Fit Test Level Inactive Active Very Active L1-4 men L5-9 men L10-15 men L1-3 women L4-7 women L8-12 women Suggested exertion levels should be used as a guideline for setting up the Fit Test program. The goal is to elevate the user's heart rate to a level that is between 60%-85% of their theoretical maximum heart rate (220-age).
The tables below list fit test results.
4.4 CUSTOM WORKOUTS Using the console, fitness club managers and other authorized personnel can create up to six custom workouts for the Life Fitness Summit Trainer. Options include custom interval heart rate and hill workouts. Interval heart rate: The trainer can design a workout that sets a different target heart rate* for each interval and adjusts the resistance to the user's heart rate. Hill: The trainer can create a custom hill workout that sets a different intensity level for each interval.
4.5 USING THE LIFE FITNESS SUMMIT TRAINER SUMMIT TRAINER MOTION The Life Fitness Summit Trainer has a user-defined stride length with a maximum of 26 inches, or 66 centimeters.
