4.1.8 RANDOM AND MANUAL WORKOUTS
RANDOM WORKOUT
RANDOM is an interval-training workout of varying resistance levels, which occur randomly with each exercise
session. The Life Fitness on-board computer randomly selects hill and valley terrain, which varies with each and
every workout, resulting in more than one million combinations. Because workout levels are greater in this workout
than in the Hill Workout, it is recommended that the Random Workout be set one or two levels lower than the
workout level which would normally be selected in the Hill Workout.
MANUAL WORKOUT
MANUAL is a constant effort workout where you can change resistance level or speed at any time.
The Manual Workout provides steady pace exercise with fixed speeds. The effort level is controlled by directly
adjusting the speed and incline using the respective Arrow Keys.
A personal interval-training workout can be designed using the Manual Workout by varying the level of effort during
the course of the workout session. To do so, select a high level of effort until the upper end of the target heart rate
zone is reached, then select a lower effort level until the heart rate drops to the bottom of the target zone. Then
increase the level of effort again until the heart rate rises back to the upper portion of the target zone. Repeating
this process will actually create hills and valleys.
4.1.9 EZ INCLINE WORKOUT
EZ INCLINE Workout is an incline-based workout and it makes your workout more enjoyable. The gradual changes
in elevation will go unnoticed, thereby lowering your perceived exertion, and resulting in a more enjoyable
experience. You will get an effective and efficient cardiovascular workout without realizing how hard you’re working
to get it.
You are presented with one hill. The peak of the hill is directly related to your chosen level. The peak will be
reached after 75% of your workout duration, and then the incline will start moving back down to zero percent (%).
4.1.10 COOL-DOWN
Life Fitness' unique Cool-Down Protocol automatically customizes every cool-down based on your workout
performance. Workout performance such as speed, incline, duration and heart rate are inputs in determining the
duration and intensity of the cool-down.
