4.4 MAXIMIZING WORKOUTS ON A LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL
SELECTING A LEVEL
The steps for setting up a HILL, RANDOM, SPORT TRAINING 5K, and SPORT TRAINING 10K workout include select-
ing a level. The word “level” refers to a range of incline percentages. The treadmill features 20 levels, with Level 1 hav-
ing 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 PRO-
FILE window as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows within a column corresponds to an incline per-
centage. 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 represented 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 percentage changes automatically to match that
hill. To change levels during a workout, use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad.

Feedback feature enables users to monitor their pace, or rate of minutes per mile, while running on the
treadmill. This feature must be enabled in the Manager’s Configuration. See Section 5, titled The Manager’s
Configuration, for more information. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the MPH and pace simultaneously when the user
adjusts the treadmill speed with the ARROW KEYS. If the user adjusts the speed using the NUMERIC keypad, the MES-
