1.2
SETUP
Read the Operation Manual before setting up the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer.
WHERE
TO
PLACE
THE
LIFE FITNESS CROSS-TRAINER
Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer to the location in which it will be
used. See Section 7, titled Specifications, for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow one foot of clearance in front of the
Life Fitness Cross-Trainer to allow for movement of the pedal levers. It should be easy to mount the Life Fitness CrossTrainer from the side.
HOW
TO
STABILIZE
THE
LIFE FITNESS CROSS-TRAINER
After placing the Life Fitness Cross-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 Life
Fitness Cross-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.
CHECK
FOR
POWER
The console is powered by a rechargeable 6-volt battery. Check the battery by pressing the START key. The console should
light up, and the MESSAGE CENTER should display a prompt to set up a workout. If this does not occur, mount the Life
Fitness Cross-Trainer and begin pedaling. The console should then light up, making it possible to program a workout. Pedal
for 10 to 20 minutes at 1.5 mph (2.4 kph) or faster during a workout to charge the battery. Afterwards, the pedal action during
workouts keeps the battery charged. If the console still does not light, contact Life Fitness Customer Service. See Section
6.5, titled How to Obtain Product Service, for more information.
FITNESS AND ENTERTAINMENT NETWORKING
Two interchangeable network ports allow the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer to be connected to a fitness entertainment system and/or a network, such as FitLinxxTM interactive fitness network.
•
Fitness network: The network connection enables the console to upload user workout statistics to a fitness network database or to download remotely stored information, such a pre-set workout program. See Section 4.2,
titled Using the Workouts, for information on logging onto a network.
•
Entertainment: The network connection enables the console to power a third-party receiver for use with a service such as the Cardio Theater® entertainment system or the BroadcastVisionTM entertainment system.
These ports are located on the back of the console and are enclosed by a removable cover. Any use of the ports for other
than their intended purpose could void the product warranty.

THE DISPLAY CONSOLE
2.1
DISPLAY CONSOLE OVERVIEW
The computerized display console allows the user to tailor a workout to personal fitness abilities and goals and to monitor progress. With this easy-to-use console, the user can track fitness improvement from one workout to the next.
2.2
DISPLAY CONSOLE DESCRIPTIONS
This section lists and describes the functions for the keys and display windows on the console. See Section 4, titled The Workouts, for
detailed information on using the console to set up workouts.
A
START: Press this key to activate the console for programming a new workout. The activated console lights up and displays
“SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START”. If no key is pressed for 15 seconds and the user stops pedaling, the console
shuts down again.
NOTE: The Life Fitness Cross-Trainer’s AutoStart feature also activates the console when the user steps on the pedals and
begins pedaling.
B
ENTER: Press this key after entering each value, such as weight or workout time, when prompted by console display messages.
C
NUMERIC keypad: Use these keys to enter values, such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate*, and intensity level.
While a workout is in progress, numeric keys can be used to set new intensity levels or change the target heart rate* in the FAT
BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE workouts. The ARROW keys
have a similar function, except that they change workout parameters by single increments.
D
ARROW keys: A pair of UP and DOWN arrows is located on either side of the TIME/LEVEL window. When setting up a workout,
use either set of arrows to change workout parameters displayed on the console, such as length of workout, weight, age, target
heart rate*, and intensity level. During a workout, pressing the ARROWS on the right (LEVEL) side of display changes the target
heart rate for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE workouts or
the intensity level for other workouts.
Pressing the ARROWS on the left (TIME) side increases or decreases the workout duration. Pressing the arrows on the right
(LEVEL) side increases or decreases the intensity level.
NOTE: Whenever an arrow key is pressed during a workout, an increase (up arrow key) or decrease (down arrow key) is made
to the corresponding parameter (level). The number that appears reflects that change. For example, if the user is at level 6 and
presses the right up arrow key, the number 7 will appear, reflecting that the user has chosen a new level. If the change is desired,
press Enter to accept. If the change is not desired, the user has ten seconds to reset the level to the desired parameter, before
the unit accepts the changed value and makes the appropriate adjustments.
* 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.
8
E
QUICK START: Press this key to begin a manual workout immediately, without having to select a workout program. Once the
workout is in progress, use the ARROW KEYS or the NUMERIC KEYPAD to change the intensity level or workout duration as
desired.
F
CLEAR: When programming a workout, press this key to clear incorrect data, such as weight or age, before pressing the ENTER
key. Pressing CLEAR during a workout stops it immediately, at which point the MESSAGE CENTER displays a summary of the
workout, including total time elapsed, total distance traveled, and total calories burned. Pressing CLEAR a second time causes
the MESSAGE CENTER to prompt the user for a new workout setup.
G
FAT BURN: Press this key to select the FAT BURN program, which is a low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of
calories from fat.
H
CARDIO: Press this key to select the CARDIO program, which is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardiovascular benefits and total calories burned.
I
RANDOM: Press this key to select the Random program, which is a workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in
no regular pattern or progression.
J
MANUAL: Press this key to select the Manual program, in which the intensity level remains the same unless it is manually
changed.
K
ZONE TRAINING+: Press this key to select one of the workouts that target specific ranges, or zones, for maintaining a heart rate
to achieve maximum exercise results. The following options may be accessed with this key:

body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exercise, which build up in muscles during a workout
and contribute to muscle soreness. The console automatically adjusts each workout’s Cooldown level according to the individual
user’s performance.
O
WORKOUT PROFILE window: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent the levels of intensity in a
workout-in-progress. The height of the first column on the left side of the window is proportional to the current level of intensity.
During a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE workout, which
requires the use of a Polar® heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors, the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a
flashing heart shape to request the user’s heart rate signal. If the console does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt “NEED HEART RATE - PLACE HANDS ON SENSORS OR USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not
receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a MANUAL program.
P
MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a workout. During a workout, it displays statistics about the progress of the workout:
•
Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the chest strap or grasping the Lifepulse system sensors.
•
Distance: the total distance traveled in miles (or kilometers if enabled).
•
Speed: the pedaling speed or rate in miles per hour (or kilometers per hour if enabled).
•
Calories: the number of calories burned since beginning the workout.
9
If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays any or all of these three values each time the intensity level
changes during the workout:
•
Calories per Hour: the rate of calories burned per hour.
•
Watts: effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the mechanical rate of work.
•
METs: effort level in METs. The MET is an expression of the rate of work for the human body at rest, or a metabolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at rest.
See Chapter 5, titled Optional Settings for information about enabling the MESSAGE CENTER to display these additional settings.
Q
AEROBICS MODE: Press this key to activate a workout mode in which the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts
that vary the workload and emphasize different muscle groups during the workout. It can be used with any workout,
except for Fat Burn, Cardio, Heart Rate Hill, Heart Rate Interval or Extreme Heart Rate.
R
REVERSE MODE: Press this key to activate a workout mode that alternates five minutes of forward motion with two
minutes of reverse motion. It can be used with any workout, except for the Heart Rate Zone Training+ workouts.
S
LEVEL/TIME WINDOW: This window displays the programmed intensity level and the time elapsed since the start of
the program.

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.
NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.
The Life Fitness Cross-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 LEVEL ARROW keys.
* 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.
11
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 Cross-Trainer.
For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout:
•
Grasp the sensors (A) firmly.
•
Hold each sensors at the vertical midpoint.
•
Keep hands steady and in place.
The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors. The following factors may
affect a Lifepulse reading: incorrect hand placement on the sensors, upper body activity, lotion or dirt on hands, and
excessive or insufficient pressure used when gripping the sensors.
12
THE POLAR® TELEMETRY HEART RATE MONITORING CHEST STRAP
The Life Fitness Cross-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.
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 signals 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.

PLUS key to display each of the other options. Press ENTER to select the desired program.
ENTERING WEIGHT
When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter weight, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed weight to the correct value (or key in the correct value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD) and press ENTER. The
default weight is 150 pounds or 68 kilograms. The on-board computer calculates the number and rate of calories burned
using the entered weight as well as the pedaling speed.
15
ENTERING AGE
When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER 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 Cross-Trainer 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
percentage of the theoretical maximum.
ENTERING TIME
When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter a 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.
SELECTING AND ADJUSTING
THE
RESISTANCE LEVEL
When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed intensity level or
target heart rate* to the desired value (or key in the desired value with the NUMERIC keypad) and press ENTER. Adjust the
level as needed or desired during the workout.
•
Resistance level: The Life Fitness Cross-Trainer provides a selection of 25 resistance levels. The resistance level
appears in the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rows of lights arranged in columns. 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 heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors; it uses this
data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate increases the intensity of the cardiovascular exercise.
SELECTING A GOAL TYPE
Workouts can be programmed to target certain type of goals:
•
Calories
•
Distance
•

4.3
WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS
QUICK START
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising and 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, use
the LEVEL ARROW keys or use the NUMERIC KEYPAD to enter a higher or lower level number. After the workout has been
in progress for 12 seconds, the MESSAGE CENTER displays “ENTER WEIGHT”, which the computer requires to calculate
total calories. Using the ARROW KEYS, increase or decrease the displayed weight to the correct value (or enter the weight
using the NUMERIC keypad).
MANUAL WORKOUT
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 WORKOUT
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 workout 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 theoretical 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, the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a heart shape and the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to
grip the sensors. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the Life Fitness
Cross-Trainer to reach and maintain the target*. This system eliminates over- and under-training and 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, except the target heart rate is calculated at 80 percent of the
theoretical maximum. As with FAT BURN, the user wears a chest strap or grips the Lifepulse system sensors throughout
the CARDIO workout.The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the
heart muscle.
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 steadypace 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 CENTER 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
Cool-down 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.
†
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.
19
Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE window and the chart below, 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.
SIX PRE-SET WORKOUTS
AROUND THE WORLD, CASCADES, FOOTHILLS, INTERVAL, KILIMANJARO, and SPEED TRAINING are variations
of the HILL workout. These workouts cannot be changed “on the fly.”
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.
INTERVAL is a Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a peak and
then gradually decline.
KILIMANJARO is a Hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then gradually decline.
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.
20
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. 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 cool-down 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.

rate during the workout setup. The workout alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate of 80

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 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.

†
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 INTERVAL
workout is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80 = 144.

EXTREME HEART RATE
TM
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. 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.
†
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). For example, a 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the
EXTREME HEART RATETM WORKOUT is 153. The workout program targets a standard 85 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (22040)*.85 = 153.

CROSS-TRAIN AEROBICS
During this workout, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to emphasize different muscle groups. To emphasize
upper-body muscles, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to focus on pushing and pulling the moving arms at various times. To emphasize lower-body muscles, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts 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 kph), the workout applies the maximum level of braking resistance. If the
user is pedaling at a speed below 6.2 mph (10.0 kph), 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 press the AEROBICS MODE key.
CROSS-TRAIN REVERSE
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 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 kph), the
workout applies the maximum level of braking resistance. If the user is pedaling at a speed below 6.2 mph (10.0 kph), 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 Rate Hill, Heart Rate Interval, or
Extreme Heart Rate, and then press the REVERSE MODE key.
24
FIT TEST
The Life Fitness Cross-Trainer Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile cross-trainer. The Fit Test workout
estimates cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six weeks. The user
must grasp the Lifepulse 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 the MESSAGE CENTER.
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:

The message center will next prompt for 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 KEYS or
UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS to enter the corresponding level.
As the test continues, a message will prompt the user to maintain a pedaling rate between 50-60 speed (equivalent to 4.2-5.5
mph). The user must maintain this rate throughout the 5-minute test duration. After 16 seconds, if 50-60 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.

O
time of day
O
time since last meal (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)
O
time since last beverage containing caffeine or alcohol, or cigarette (at least four hours is recommended)
O
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.

PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS
Using the console, fitness club managers and other authorized personnel can create up to six custom workouts for the
Life Fitness Cross-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.
USING PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS
Once PERSONAL TRAINER workouts are created, users can access them with the PERSONAL TRAINER key. Each custom workout is identified by a numeral, from 1 to 6. To select these workouts, press the PERSONAL TRAINER key. When
prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER, press the number corresponding to the desired workout using the NUMERIC keypad.
Then press ENTER and begin the workout.
CREATING A PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT
When the console is activated, hold down the COOLDOWN button and press the PERSONAL TRAINER button simultaneously.
Using the ARROW keys, scroll to, and select, the “PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT ENTRY” option and press
ENTER. (If the alternate option, “ERASE PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS”, is selected, the computer deletes setup
information for all PERSONAL TRAINER workouts and the MESSAGE CENTER displays "PERSONAL TRAINER
WORKOUTS ERASED". Then the MESSAGE CENTER displays "PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT ENTRY").
Select a number, from 1 to 6, to identify the new workout. Use the NUMERIC keypad or the ARROW keys. Then press
ENTER.
If a PERSONAL TRAINER workout already has been created for that number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to
either modify the workout or proceed to another number. Pressing the CLEAR key overwrites the previously created workout,
making it possible to create a new workout for that number. Pressing ENTER bypasses the number and proceeds to another
number.
If a PERSONAL TRAINER workout has not been created for a selected number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the
prompt, "BEGIN PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT CREATION".
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to enter a duration time for the entire workout. Using the NUMERIC keypad,

The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select the workout type. Options are “TARGET HEART RATE PERCENTAGE” or “LEVEL”. The latter type is for custom hill workouts. Use the ARROW keys to toggle between the options, and
press ENTER to select one of them.
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select a target heart rate or an intensity level for the first interval, depending
on the type of workout chosen in an earlier step. Use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad. A PERSONAL TRAINER
workout consists of 30 intervals, so the length of each interval is equal to the workout duration value divided by 30. After
entering the value, press ENTER. Repeat this set of steps for each of the following 29 intervals. To keep the preceding value
for the current interval, simply press ENTER. At the end of this setup, the MESSAGE CENTER displays “PERSONAL
TRAINER WORKOUT COMPLETED”. The new PERSONAL TRAINER workout is ready to use.
Press the ENTER key to set up another workout. OR
Press the CLEAR key. The MESSAGE CENTER will display “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START.”
* 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 RATETM WORKOUT is 153. The workout program targets a standard 85 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (22040)*.85 = 153.

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 8.71% variance from input power on the test equipment. At level 12 and a constant 75 RPM, displayed wattage was 153 watts, with a 6.16% variance from input power on the test equipment.
