ELECTING 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 Total Body 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.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the HEART
RATE HILL workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
