COOLDOWN: Workout programs end automatically in a Cooldown mode, which lowers the intensity level. Press the
COOLDOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cooldown mode. In this phase of a workout the
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.
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 or CARDIO workout, which requires the use of a Polar® heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sen-
sors, 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 con-
verted to a MANUAL program.
* 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.
9
P
MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a workout. During a workout, it displays statis-
tics 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.
If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays any or all of these three values each time the intensity level changes dur-
ing 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 equiva-
lent; 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 and
Cardio.

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 and CARDIO. For detailed information about the workouts, 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.
A
A
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 6.5, 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 receiv-
er. 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.

RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or pro-
gression. It is accessed with the RANDOM key.
FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning a higher percentage of calories from fat. The user must wear a heart
rate chest strap or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. The workout program automatically adjusts the
intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum†. It is
accessed with the FAT BURN key.
CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, maximizing cardiovascular benefits and total calories burned.
The user must wear a heart rate chest strap or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. The workout program
automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoreti-
cal maximum†. It is accessed with the CARDIO key.
The following workouts are accessed by pressing the HILL PLUS key:
HILL is an interval-training workout combining “hills” and “valleys” of different intensity levels, which is proven to provide
effective, time-efficient cardiovascular results.
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 gradu-
ally 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.The following workouts are accessed by pressing the PERSONAL TRAINER
key:
CROSS-TRAIN AEROBICS simulates the experience of working with a personal trainer. The MESSAGE CENTER dis-
plays prompts at different times to emphasize pushing, pulling, total body, lower body, speed changes, and
forward/reverse motion. This versatile workout promotes maximum cross-training benefits.

4.2 USING THE WORKOUTS
This section provides detailed information on setting up and using workouts. For quick-reference setup steps, see the
chart at the end of the section.
TO BEGIN A WORKOUT
To mount the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer, grasp the handles and carefully step on the pedals. To dismount, step off the pedals
while still holding the handles. Then let go of the handles.
Without networking, press START or begin pedaling to activate the console. The MESSAGE CENTER displays,
"SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS ENTER TO BEGIN." If it displays a different message, press the CLEAR key twice in
rapid succession.
With optional networking enabled, press START or begin pedaling to activate the console. The MESSAGE CENTER dis-
plays, "SELECT WORKOUT OR ENTER ID USING ENTER KEY". Either select a workout as described below, or log on to
the networked exercise database, and then select a workout. To log onto the network, key in the user ID number with the
numeric keypad.
SELECTING AND USING QUICK START
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising and bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. At
the MESSAGE CENTER prompt to select a workout, press the QUICK START key. The workout begins at an intensity
level that remains the same unless manually changed. After 12 seconds, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to
enter weight, which the computer requires to calculate total calories burned.
SELECTING A WORKOUT
For MANUAL, FAT BURN, CARDIO, and RANDOM: When prompted to select a workout, press the key labeled with the
name of the desired workout.
For CROSS-TRAIN REVERSE and CROSS-TRAIN AEROBICS: When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to select a
workout, press the PERSONAL TRAINER key. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the name a workout. Press ENTER to
select the displayed workout or continue to press the PERSONAL TRAINER key to display each of the other options. Press
ENTER to select the desired workout.
For HILL, AROUND THE WORLD, FOOTHILLS, INTERVAL, KILIMANJARO, CASCADES, and SPEED TRAINING: When
prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to select a workout, press the HILL PLUS key. The MESSAGE CENTER then dis-
plays the name of the one of these workouts. Press ENTER to select the displayed workout or continue to press the HILL
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 dis-
played 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.
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 maxi-
mum 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 dis-
played time to the desired value (or key in the desired value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD) and press ENTER.
† 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.
15
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 WORKOUT MODE
Two workout mode options on the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer feature alternate ways to vary workouts.
•
Aerobics Mode: This workout mode simulates the experience of working out with a trainer. Throughout the work-
out, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to vary the workload and emphasize different muscle groups, such
as upper- and lower-body. This feature can be used with any workout (except for Fat Burn, Cardio, Heart Rate Hill,
Heart Rate Interval or Extreme Heart Rate). To select it, press AEROBICS MODE key.
•
Reverse Mode: This workout mode continuously alternates five minutes of forward motion with two minutes of
reverse motion, to exercise different leg muscles. This feature can be used with any workout (except for Fat Burn,
Cardio, Heart Rate Hill, Heart Rate Interval or Extreme Heart Rate). To select it, press the REVERSE MODE key.
SWITCHING WORKOUTS “ON-THE-FLY”
It is possible, during a workout, to switch to another workout program. After a switch, the console retains all the progress
information about the workout since its beginning. To change workouts “on the fly,” simply press the key for the desired new
workout. This feature is available for all workouts except for Around the World, Kilimanjaro, Interval, Cascades, Speed
Training, Foothills, and Personal Trainer workouts.
PAUSING WORKOUTS
To pause a workout, simply stop pedaling. To continue the workout, resume pedaling. The pause duration lasts 60 seconds,
after which the console automatically shuts down.
ENDING WORKOUTS EARLY
To end a workout before the pre-set duration expires, press CLEAR once. The MESSAGE CENTER then displays a workout
summary, which includes the distance travelled, the total calories burned, and other statistics. Press CLEAR a second time and
the MESSAGE CENTER displays “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START” for a new workout.
* 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.

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 differ-
ent patterns are possible. Because workout levels are greater in this workout than in the HILL workout, it is recommend-
ed 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 steady-pace training.
Each HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The WORKOUT PROFILE window dis-
plays 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
2
3
4
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.
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.
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.
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.
18
Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE window and the chart above, 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 gradu-
ally 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.
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 var-
ious times. To emphasize lower-body muscles, the MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts to rest the hands on the sta-
tionary 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 braking 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-resis-
tance-level workout, the user can start any workout (except for Fat Burn and Cardio) and then press the AEROBICS
MODE key.
19
CROSS-TRAIN REVERSE
This workout features alternating periods of pedaling forward and pedaling backwards. If the user chooses a workout dura-
tion 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 direc-
tion, 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 braking 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-resis-
tance-level workout, the user can start any workout (except for Fat Burn and Cardio) and then press the REVERSE
MODE key.

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.
