About Your Elliptical Heart Rate Monitoring

Seeing your heart rate while exercising will help you understand the intensity of your exercise and corresponding heart rate training zone, and predict health benefits found through repeated bouts of exercise. Refer to the information below to understand your heart rate training zones:

Zone 5 — Performance Redline Zone: 90% - 100% of your Max HR

The performance zone involves extreme effort, requiring the heart to beat at or near maximum capacity. Training bouts include intense resistance or sprinting, benefiting speed, power, and anaerobic performance competency.

Zone 4 — Threshold Zone: 80% - 90% of your Max HR

The threshold zone involves intense jogging or sub-maximal sprinting, typically unsustainable for long periods of time. Benefits include highly elevated calorie burn, speed and power performance enhancement, improved lactate removal capabilities, and enriched heart health.

Zone 3 — Aerobic Zone: 70% - 80% of your Max HR

The aerobic zone is ideal for cardiovascular training. Workouts in this zone are more intense, involving moderate jogging. Long-term benefits are improved heart health and cardiovascular performance, reductions in blood pressure and cholesterol, and increased calorie burn.

Zone 2 — Temperate Zone: 60% - 70% of your Max HR

The temperate zone consists of moderate-intensity exercise, typically as fast walking to slow jogging. Speaking is more difficult and breathing is elevated. Benefits are similar to those of the healthy heart rate zone, though caloric expenditure is higher.

Zone 1 — Healthy Heart Zone: 50% - 60% of your Max HR

The healthy heart zone involves safe, low-intensity activity, like medium to-brisk walking. Full conversations can be held, despite a gentle increase in respiration. Benefits include reduced risk of heart and vascular disease, moderated blood pressure and cholesterol, and improved insulin sensitivity.

About Your Elliptical Hand Pulse Sensors

LEVEL LEVEL

To use, grasp the sensors with a comfortable grip, with the palms of your hands placed over the sensors. If the sensors are having difficulty picking up your heart rate, use aloe or a moisturizer on your hands or further warm up as you exercise to increase the moisture in your hands. Dry hands do not transfer your pulse as effectively as moist hands.

Chest Strap

The E5i elliptical models have integrated heart rate receivers built into the console. To purchase a heart rate chest strap go to www.LifeSpanFitness.com.

The chest strap should be worn as shown. When using a chest strap you may need to warm up first to increase the moisture in your skin. If this doesn’t work use aloe or another moisturizer where the sensors on the chest strap are making contact with your skin.

Note: The heart rate monitoring system will vary due to your age, method of use, physiology and other factors. LifeSpan cannot guarantee the accuracy of the heart rate readings.

15

About Your Elliptical Preset Programs

Preset programs automatically change the resistance during a workout according to a preset pattern called a profile. This provides a better workout, since it uses a wider range of muscles and different intensities, a well-known benefit in the cross-training and interval-training world.

Each preset program can be set to change resistance level only. Each has a suggested duration, but this can be adjusted to anywhere from 10 to 99 minutes. Two overall levels may be selected, which raises or lowers the program profile.

Long Slow Distance

(40 minutes default) This profile has small changes, allowing for a more consistent style of effort, maximizing the duration of your workout.

Short Interval

(20 minute default) This has the widest variation of resistance level, and has the shortest default duration.

Moderate Interval

(30 minute default) Smaller resistance changes than Short Interval, but greater overall duration, resulting in a longer workout.

Long Interval

(40 minute default) The smallest resistance alterations of any of the interval workouts, allowing a longer overall duration.

16

About Your Elliptical Negative Interval 1

(30 minute default) A good choice for someone new to interval training. Resistance levels decrease in the second half of the workout.

Negative Interval 2

(30 minute default) A slightly higher-intensity version of Negative Interval 2.

Fartlek

(30 minute default) A Fartlek is a Swedish workout that inspires improved levels of fitness through unpredictable changes in programming. This profile purposefully has no predictable pattern to its profile.

Uphill Climb

(30 minute default) A gradual increase, then corresponding decrease, of resistance level.

Pyramid Climb

(30 minute default) Similar to Uphill Climb but with less frequent changes.

Plateau Climb

(40 minute default) A higher-intensity version of Long Slow Distance, with a steady level of effort comprising the majority of the profile. 17

About Your Elliptical Ladder

(30 minute default) A form of interval training with longer, increasingly-intense intervals. Each unique, altering level is designed to mimic a higher rung on a ladder. This is the most difficult of the preset programs.

Uphill Interval

(20 minute default) Similar to Short Interval, but with more pronounced changes in intensity.

Steady Pace

(40 minute default) Similar to Long Slow Distance, but with a lower intensity, steady profile. This is the easiest of the preset programs.

Long Slow Distance 2

(40 minute default) Similar to Long Slow Distance, but reaches maximum intensity more rapidly.

Cardio Run

(20 minute default) A short, continuous workout with consistently high intensity.

Short Interval 2

(20 minute default) Similar to Short Interval, but with a more rapid buildup to the initial interval.

18

About Your Elliptical Uphill Walk

(30 minute default) Gradually increases intensity throughout the entire workout.

Custom User Programs

There are two user programs that provide you with the ability to build custom program profiles for your specific workout requirements. In Custom User Programs you set the workout time and then for each of the 20 program segments you set the resistance level.

Heart Rate Control Programs Constant Heart Rate

The Constant Heart Rate is a steady state program that lets you select a single heart rate to maintain throughout your workout. The elliptical will adjust the resistance level every 10 seconds during the workout to maintain your heart rate close to the target you’ve selected.

Interval Heart Rate

The Interval Heart Rate is designed to help you increase aerobic endurance and improve heart rate recovery. This program lets you select a LOW or recovery target heart rate and a High target. After the 3 minute warm-up the console will adjust the resistance level every 10 seconds to maintain your LOW target for 2 minutes. Then the console will adjust the resistance level to raise your heart rate to the high target selected and once again keep it at this level for 2 minutes. The process will repeat until the end of the workout. It is recommended that you set the workout time to 30 minutes or higher to use this program effectively.

Note: Remember that the console needs to receive your heart rate through the grip pulse or a heart rate chest strap during the course of the workout.

Assembling Your Elliptical Leveling

LifeSpan Elliptical Trainers come with eight leveling feet - two in the front, four in the middle, and two in the back. Locate your elliptical trainer on a solid, level surface. Make sure that the center adjustable foot, located on the center frame brace sits level on the floor. Try to rock the elliptical in all directions to see if any of the feet are not touching the floor. If the elliptical rocks, adjust the feet that are not touching the floor upward to eliminate any rocking. Once the frame is completely stable, secure the feet in place by tightening the lock nut on each foot.

Moving the Elliptical

1. Make sure nothing is on or near your elliptical which might spill, be knocked off, or prevent the elliptical from moving.

2. Place both hands under the support bar located under the back of the elliptical to make sure you have a solid lifting point.

3. Lift the back of the elliptical and roll to the desired location.
