CONTACT HEART RATE
The X7 includes hand pulse sensors on the stationary handle bar that are a built-in heart rate monitoring system. During a
workout grasp the hand pulse sensors to monitor your heart rate. If your console comes equipped with a heart rate chest
strap we recommend using it during workouts and using the hand pulse sensors to only to occasionally monitor your heart
rate when not using the chest strap. In addition, to utilize heart rate controlled workouts the chest strap must be used. For
the most accurate reading, use a comfortable grip. The console will show a heart rate reading after 15 to 20 seconds.
Hand pulse sensors can work differently with different body types. With some individuals it can be very difficult to extract a
heart rate reading. Follow the below tips to improve the heart rate reading.
· Remove your hands from the heart rate sensors and wait for the heart rate display to clear. Grasp sensors again.
· Make sure hands are fully contacting the sensors.
· Dry hands periodically during use.
· Limit movement.
· Clean hand pulse sensors.
Note: The heart rate hand pulse sensors provide an approximate heart rate value. The sensors are not medical devices
and should not be used in any type of medical application.
FLEXPEDAL™ SHOCK ABSORPTION SYSTEM
The FlexPedal Shock Absorption System utilizes patented Life Fitness LifeSpring cushioning in the front of the pedal to pro-
vide you with extra comfort during workouts. This technology is the same cushioning technology used in all Life Fitness
treadmill decks. The design intent of the pedal is to promote more ankle joint movement during stride push through to
encourage a more natural feeling stride.
