Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the Total Body Trainer to the location in which it will be used. See Section 7, titled Specifications, for the footprint (product dimensions).

Allow one foot of clearance in front of the Total Body Trainer to allow for movement of the pedal levers. It should be easy to mount the Total Body Trainer from the side.

After placing the Total Body Trainer in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. Check the front stabilizing feet to determine which foot does not rest fully on the floor. Rotate the foot counter-clockwise to lower it. Recheck the stability and adjust again as needed until the Total Body Trainer is stable and no longer rocks.

Lock the adjustment into position by tightening the jam nut against the stabilizer bar with an open end

17mm wrench.

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.

NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and design-

ing a workout program.

The Total Body Trainer features exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of heart rate zone training exercise: FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE

HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART

RATE. The Time in Zone Goal option, another feature of heart

rate zone training, enhances these workouts by setting a certain duration within the target zone as a workout goal. For detailed information about the workouts, as well as the Time In

Zone Goal option, see Section 4, titled The Workouts.

During one of these workouts, grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously, or wear the Polar ® heart rate chest strap to enable the on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the resistance level to maintain the target heart rate* based on the actual heart rate. To change the target heart rate during a workout, use the Arrow keys on the Control Panel directly under Target Heart Rate*, or use the Target Heart

Rate button on the Touchscreen Display to access the

Target Heart Rate Set-up window. Use the numerical keypad or the arrow keys to change your selection, select ENTER and continue your workout.

The Total Body 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 6.5, titled How to Obtain Product Service.

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 receiver. 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 skin. However, it also 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 moisten them.

NOTE: If the Lifepulse system sensors are grasped while the chest strap is worn, and if the sig-

nals from the sensors are valid, the on-board computer uses the sensor signals for calculating the heart rate instead of those transmitted with the chest strap.

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.

MANUAL is a workout in which the intensity level does not change automatically.

FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning the body’s fat reserves. The user must wear a Polar heart rate chest strap, or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. The workout program automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at

65 percent of the theoretical maximum † .

HILL is an interval-training workout combining “hills” and “valleys” of different intensity levels, which is proven to provide effective, time-efficient cardiovascular results.

RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat burning. The user must wear a Polar heart rate chest strap, or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. The workout program automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum

†

.

ZONE TRAINING are workouts that target specific ranges, or zones, for maintaining a heart rate to achieve maximum exercise results. Zone Training workouts include:

HEART RATE HILL consists of three hills based on the target heart rate*. The user must grasp the

Lifepulse system sensors continuously or wear a heart rate chest strap.

HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between a hill and a valley based on the target heart rate. The user must grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously or wear a heart rate chest strap.

EXTREME HEART RATE alternates between two target heart rate goals as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. The user must grasps the Lifepulse system sensors continuously or wear a heart rate chest strap.

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.

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.

INTERVAL is a Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a peak and then gradually decline.

CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.

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.

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, and forward/reverse motion. This versatile workout promotes maximum cross-training benefits.

CROSS-TRAIN REVERSE continuously alternates forward motion with backward motion to cross-train different muscle groups.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user's recommended

THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117, or 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65 = 117.

** Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the CARDIO workout is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80 = 144.

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

† for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a Polar heart rate 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 Total Body 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.

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 WORK-

OUT 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.

Each HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The WORKOUT

PROFILE window displays the progress of these phases, as seen in the chart following these descriptions below. As noted in the descriptions, the heart rate should be measured at two stages in the workout to gauge its effectiveness. To do so, wear the chest strap or continuously grip the Lifepulse system sensors. Note that the message area does not display a request for a heart rate measurement during a HILL workout.

1

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.

2

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.

3

Interval Training is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys (or periods 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.

4

Cooldown is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid and other exercise by-products, which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.

Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT 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.

10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For every minute added by the user “on the fly,” 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.

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. 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 brining the heart rate to 80 percent of HRmax. The valley 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 reaches 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 corresponding 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

Cooldown Phase. If the heart rate goes above the theoretical maximum for more than 45 seconds, the cross-trainer automatically goes into pause mode. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap or grip the Lifepulse sensors throughout the workout.

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 Cooldown Phase. If the heart rate goes above the theoretical maximum † for more than 45 seconds, the cross-trainer automatically goes into pause mode. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap or grip the Lifepulse sensors throughout the workout.

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

Lifepulse TM sensors throughout the workout.

When setting up the workout, the user enters a target heart rate. After a standard three-minute warm-up, the intensity 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 stabilizing period.

Then, the intensity decreases. 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 intensity levels, continuing this pattern throughout the duration. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). For example, a 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the EXTREME HEART RATE TM WORKOUT is 153. The workout program targets a standard 85 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.85 = 153.

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. To emphasize lower-body muscles, the the user is prompted to rest the hands on the stationary handlebar, thus forcing the legs to do all the work. The program also alternates between forward and reverse motion as well as different speeds.

Ten seconds after prompting the user to change pedaling direction, the workout applies “braking resistance,” that is, a high resistance level that essentially forces the user to stop pedaling. Once the user stops pedaling, the workout resumes the normal resistance level. The actual level of breaking resistance depends on the user’s pedaling speed. If the user is pedaling at a rate equal to, or faster than 6.2 mph

(10.0 km/h), the workout applies the maximum level of braking resistance. If the user is pedaling at a speed below 6.2 mph (10.0 km/h), the workout applies 92 percent of the maximum.

CROSS-TRAIN AEROBICS is a constant-resistance workout. However, for a similar experience with a variable-resistance-level workout, the user can start any workout (except for Fat Burn, Cardio,

Heart Rate Hill, Heart Rate Interval, or Extreme Heart Rate) and then under Mode select AEROBICS.

This workout features alternating periods of pedaling forward and pedaling backwards. If the user chooses a workout duration 14 minutes or above, the unit displays alternating prompts to pedal forward for five minutes and then backward for two minutes. If the user selects a goal of 13 minutes or below, the unit display prompts the user to pedal forward for two minutes and then backward for one minute. If the user selects a goal other than time (distance or calorie), the program uses the default setting of prompting forward motion for five minutes and reverse for two minutes.

This feature varies the emphasis on different leg muscles. Ten seconds after prompting the user to change pedaling direction, the workout applies “braking resistance,” that is, a high resistance level that essentially forces the user to stop pedaling. Once the user stops pedaling, the workout resumes the normal resistance level. The actual level of breaking resistance depends on the user’s pedaling SPEED. If the user is pedaling at a rate equal to, or faster than, 6.2 mph (10.0 km/h), the workout applies the maximum level of braking resistance. If the user is pedaling at a speed below 6.2 mph (10.0 km/h), the workout applies 92 percent of the maximum.

CROSS-TRAIN REVERSE is a constant-resistance workout. However, for a similar experience with a variable-resistance-level workout, the user can start any workout (except for Fat Burn, Cardio, Heart

The Life Fitness Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile cross-trainer. The Life

Fitness Fit Test 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 the chosen resistance level. Immediately afterward, the console will take the user's heart rate reading, calculate a fitness score, and display the score in a results window.

The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenated 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:

!

Choose PERSONAL TRAINER, then LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST.

!

Go through the setup screens for the Fit Test, including WEIGHT, AGE, AND GENDER. Press Enter after each selection to record the entry.

!

Choose a workout level (ENTER LEVEL). Consult the following recommended fit test level chart for an appropriate effort level based on your age, gender and activity level. Use the NUMERIC BUT-

TONS or UP/DOWN ARROW BUTTONS to enter the corresponding level.

!

As the test continues, a message will prompt the user to maintain a pedaling rate of 50-60 rpm

(equivalent to 4.2-5.5 mph). The user must maintain this rate throughout the 5-minute test duration.

After 16 seconds, if this speed is not maintained, the fit test will automatically terminate.

After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score will be displayed.

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).

Within each suggested range, these additional guidelines can be used:

Lower Half of Range

higher age lower weight shorter

Upper Half of Range

lower age higher weight* taller

* In cases of excessive weight, use lower half of range.

The computer will not accept:

!

heart rates less than 52 or greater than 200 beats per minute

!

body weights less than 75 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 400 pounds (182 kg)

!

ages below 10 or over 99 years

!

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:

!

amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)

!

time of day

!

time of last meal (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)

!

time of last beverage containing caffeine or alcohol, or of a cigarette (at least four hours is recommended)

!

time since last exercise (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. 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.

Life Fitness products have proven to be durable in health clubs, colleges, and military facilities the world over. This same technology, engineering expertise, and reliability have gone into the

Total Body Trainer.

NOTE: The safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regu-

larly for damage or wear. Keep the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or replaced. Pay special attention to parts that are subject to wear as outlined in the Preventive

Maintenance Schedule.

REMARQUE : pour conserver un matériel sûr, il convient de l'inspecter régulièrement afin de

déceler tout signe d'usure ou d'endommagement. N'utilisez pas l'appareil tant que les pièces défectueuses n'ont pas été réparées ou remplacées. Portez une attention toute particulière aux pièces qui s'usent, comme indiqué ci-dessous.

The following preventive maintenance tips will keep your Total Body Trainer operating at peak performance:

• Locate the Total Body Trainer in a cool, dry place.

• Clean the top surface of the pedals regularly.

• Keep the display console free of fingerprints and salt build-up caused by sweat.

• Use a 100% cotton cloth, lightly moistened with water and mild liquid detergent, to clean the

Total Body Trainer. Other fabrics, including paper towels, may scratch the surface. Do not use ammonia, chlorine, or acid-based cleaners.

• Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use the pad of the finger to press the selection buttons on the console.

• Clean the housing and moving arms thoroughly on a regular basis.

NOTE: When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are

strongly recommended. At no time should cleaner be applied directly to any part of the equipment; apply the non-abrasive cleaner on a soft cloth and then wipe the unit.

For EN 957-9 class A accuracy testing, input mechanical power was measured by connecting a cross-trainer to a fixture consisting of a motor and gear box with an attached torque transducer, amplifier, and readout display. Testing was done by removing the pedal lever from one side of the cross trainer and connecting the test fixture in place of the pedal lever at the crank axis. Torque measurements were taken with and without the pedal lever installed on the other side of the cross-trainer in order to determine the level of measured torque required to compensate for the missing pedal lever. From measured torque and speed, the input mechanical power and variance from displayed power were calculated. At level 12 and a constant 65 RPM, displayed wattage was 133 watts, with a 4.69% variance from input power on the test equipment. At level 12 and a constant 75 RPM, displayed wattage was 133 watts, with a 4.07% variance from input power on the test equipment.
