2 THE ACHIEVE DISPLAY CONSOLE 2.1 ACHIEVE DISPLAY CONSOLE OVERVIEW The Achieve LED display console allows the user to t ailor a workout to personal fitness abilities and goals and to monitor progress.

F. CLEAR (non-treadmill products): Pressing the CLEAR key once transitions the system to the W orkout Summary mode. Pressing CLEAR during the data entry phase of the workout program will return the entry to the system default (i.e. pressing CLEAR while entering your weight will return the weight value to 150 lbs). Pressing CLEAR twice activates the console for programming a new workout. The activated console lights up and displays “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START”.
J. WORKOUT PROFILE window: This window displays shapes, made of columns of light s, that represent the levels of intensity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the first column on the lef t side of the window is proportional to the current level of intensity. During a Fat Burn or Cardio 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 while detecting the user ’s heart rate signal.
2.4 THE ACCESSORY TRAY / READING RACK A built-in reading rack (A) allows a book or magazine to be supported during the workout. A built-in accessory tray (B) provides storage for items such as water bottles, personal media devices, and cell phones.
3 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 result s. 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 a higher percent age of calories from fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness.
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. For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout: • Grasp the sensors (A) firmly. • Hold each sensor at the horizont al (treadmill, recumbent bike and upright bike) or vertical mid point (cross-trainer and upright bike). • Keep hands steady and in place.
THE POLAR® TELEMETRY HEART RATE MONITORING CHEST STRAP The Polar® heart rate monitoring system transfers heart rate signals to the console when electrodes are pressed against the skin. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap and telemetry electrodes are optional. To order, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services (see page 1 of this manual). See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap.

4.3 WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS WORKOUT MODES On bikes, the MANUAL, QUICK START, HILL and RANDOM workouts default to BIKE MODE which simulates the experience of riding an actual bicycle. The rate of calories burned and tot al distance travelled increase automatically as the user increases the pedaling speed. On bikes, the FAT BURN, CARDIO, and FIT TEST workouts default to CONSTANT-CALORIES-PER-HOUR-MODE which enables a user to maintain a constant rate of calories burned per hour.
Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE window and the chart above, represent s one interval. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. The Hill program cannot complete all four phases adequately for a workout lasting less than 10 minutes. The program condenses a workout of this duration at various st ages.
