2 GETTING STARTED 2.1 THE HEART RATE TELEMETRY CHEST STRAP The console is equipped with a wireless heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals from the user to the console. The electrodes are inside the chest strap (A) that the user wears during the workout. The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. However it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.
2.3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING® 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 zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout.

4 HOW TO USE THE GO CONSOLE The Go Console was designed to make navigation as simple as possible by using special colors and keys. The console display was designed to reduce toggling between workout information. The design of each button on the console was designed to give the user tactile feedback. Each piece of workout feedback, including level, time and speed, has its own dedicated window. 4.1 LEVEL / INCLINE DISPLAY a.
4.2 TIME DISPLAY The time window displays the total workout time set by the user during workout setup, which is a range from 1-99 minutes depending on the program. During a workout the time display will show time remaining and count down. Time can be changed to count up in the Settings Menu and the time display will show time elapsed. See Section 5.7, How to Use the Settings Menu.
4.7 TARGET HEART RATE DISPLAY Target heart rate is a percentage of a user’s maximum heart rate. The goal is to target a range that enables one’s heart and lungs to receive the most benefit from a workout. The console calculates target heart rate by taking the maximum heart rate and multiplying it by an intensity level. Maximum heart rate = 206.9 - (.67 x user’s age). Target heart rate is shown continuously during a HeartSync workout. The target heart rate can be changed at any point during the workout.
4.10 WORKOUT PROFILE INDICATOR ARROW The arrow located above the columns in the workout profile displays the position the user is at in the workout. The position is represented by the time entered during workout setup divided by the number of columns (24). For example during a 24-minute workout the arrow would move from column to column every minute. During RACE MODE the arrow splits into two separate arrows, a filled in arrow and an outline of an arrow, to simulate the user and the pacer. 4.
4.15 NAVIGATION BUTTON Provides simple forward, back, up, and down software navigation as well as level, time, and speed workout adjustments. While setting up a workout use the Left / Right arrows to scroll through workout setup options, and then use the Up / Down arrows to adjust the values.
