The Time in Zone Goal program enhances a workout by setting a certain duration within the target heart rate* as a
workout goal. The program automatically alters the resistance to maintain a pace that will meet that objective within that
duration. Once the objective is met, the workout automatically goes into a cool down phase. To use the Time In Zone
Goal feature:
1. Select a workout.
2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose TIME IN ZONE (some workouts require the user to choose the MORE option
first), enter the desired amount of time, and select ENTER.
3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.
4. Begin the workout.
NOTE: Time in Zone is directly correlated to fitness level. Since the program will continue to increase resistance until the
goal is met, it may be wise to start low and work towards a higher goal. Choose COOL DOWN at any time, to exit the
workout and immediately enter a cool down phase. For help setting TIME IN ZONE goals, consult a personal trainer. For
more information on Heart Rate Zone Training, see Section 3.1, Why Heart Rate Zone Training?
INTENSITY LEVEL
The Life Fitness Cross-Trainer provides several different ways to adjust the resistance level of a workout. When prompted,
use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed resistance 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.
• 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
• 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 Polar heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors; and it
uses this data to adjust the resistance. Manually raising the rate, by pressing the HEART RATE button on the CON-
TROL PANEL and typing the desired number with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, increases the intensity of the cardiovas-
cular exercise.
* 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
