ORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS

QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a

specific workout program. The intensity level for the workout is set automatically and remains

the same unless manually changed. To change the level and stay in the Workout Progress

screen, press the UP or DOWN ARROW KEYS on the Control Panel, corresponding to the

LEVEL button. Level can also be changed by touching the LEVEL button on the Touchscreen

Display, and then changing the level using the arrow buttons or the numeric keypad and press-

ing ENTER.

For Calories Burned and Calories per Hour to be computed and displayed during a workout,

select the ENTER WEIGHT button which is required to calculate these values. Using the

ARROW KEYS, increase or decrease the displayed weight to the correct value, or enter weight

using the NUMERIC keypad, and press ENTER to register.

MANUAL

The MANUAL program sets an intensity level that does not change automatically. While the

workout is in progress, increase or lower the intensity level as desired, using the arrow keys.

RANDOM

The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More

than one million different patterns are possible. Because workout levels are greater in this work-

out than in the HILL workout, it is recommended that the RANDOM workout be set one or two

levels lower than the workout level which would normally be selected in the HILL workout.

FAT BURN

The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoreti-

cal maximum

†

for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap or grips

the Lifepulse system sensors. If the user is not wearing a chest strap or grasping the sensors,

the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a heart shape, and the display prompts the user to

grip the sensors. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the

intensity level of the Life Fitness Summit Trainer to reach and maintain the target*. 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 cal-

culated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum. The user wears a chest strap or grips the

Lifepulse system sensors.The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a

heavier workload on the heart muscle.
