WORKOUTS ON A LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL
SELECTING AN INTENSITY LEVEL
The steps for setting up a HILL or RANDOM workout include selecting a level. The word “level”
refers to a range of incline percentages. The treadmill features 20 levels, with Level 1 having the
lowest average incline grade and Level 20 having the highest.
LEVEL % Incline LEVEL % Incline
1 0.0 - 1.5 11 2.0 - 8.5
2 0.0 - 2.2 12 3.0 - 9.2
3 0.0 - 2.9 13 3.5 - 9.9
4 0.0 - 3.6 14 5.0 - 10.6
5 0.0 - 4.3 15 5.5 - 11.3
6 0.0 - 5.0 16 6.5 - 12.0
7 0.0 - 5.7 17 7.0 - 12.7
8 0.0 - 6.4 18 8.0 - 13.4
9 0.5 - 7.1 19 8.7 - 14.1
10 1.5 - 7.8 20 9.0 - 15.0
Within each level are seven incline percentages, or hills. During a workout, each hill appears in
the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows
within a column corresponds to an incline percentage. For example, in Level 5, the lowest
incline is 0.0 percent and is represented as one lit row. The highest incline, 4.3 percent, is repre-
sented by a column with all seven rows lit.
In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed
in the HILL workout description. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline per-
centage changes automatically to match that hill.
To change levels during a workout, use any of the ARROW keys.
