mencer tout programme d'exercice, et tout particulièrement si l'utilisateur a des
antécédents familiaux d'hypertension ou de troubles cardiaques, ou s'il a plus de
45 ans, s'il fume, s'il a du cholestérol, s'il est obèse ou n'a pas fait d'exercice
régulièrement depuis un an.
Si, pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, l'utilisateur ressent un malaise, des vertiges, des douleurs
ou des difficultés à respirer, il doit cesser immédiatement.

WHERE TO PLACE THE LIFE FITNESS SUMMIT TRAINER
Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the Life Fitness Summit Trainer to the
location in which it will be used. See Section 7, titled Specifications, for the dimensions of the
footprint. Allow one foot of clearance in front of the Life Fitness Summit Trainer to allow for
movement of the total-body arms.
HOW TO STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS SUMMIT TRAINER
After placing the Life Fitness Summit Trainer in position, check the unit for stability by attempting to
rock the unit. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. There are a total of (5) feet on
the Life Fitness Summit Trainer for stability. The (2) rear feet under the rear step should require no
adjustment. The (1) middle leveler should be adjusted last and is only for support, not leveling. Check
the (2) front levelers to determine which foot does not rest fully on the floor. Rotate the foot counter-
clockwise to lower it. Recheck the stability and adjust again as needed until the unit is stable and no
longer rocks. Lower the middle leveler until it contacts the floor. Lock the adjustment nut on both the
(2) front and middle levelers by tightening the jam nut with a 17 mm wrench.

sole to upload user workout statistics to a fitness network
database or to download remotely stored information, such a
pre-set workout program. See Section 4.2, titled Using the
Workouts, for information on logging onto a network.

TYPES OF WORKOUT SETUP SCREENS
GOAL SETUP SCREENS
•
Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout). Allows the user to
choose a predetermined length of time for the workout.
Users may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, or TIME IN
ZONE (only available for heart rate programs) and Marathon Mode (if enabled).
For Distance, Calories, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how long it
takes to reach the goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose
COOLDOWN from the Control Panel to go immediately into the Cooldown Phase, or choose
CHANGE WORKOUT to access a different program. For more information, see Section 4.2

HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE
3.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE?
Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to
monitor the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the
Life Fitness heart rate zone training approach to exercise.
Zone training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or
increasing cardiovascular fitness. The values within the zone depend on the workout.
NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and
designing a workout program.
The Life Fitness Summit Trainer features exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of
the benefits of heart rate zone training exercise: FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL,
HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE. The Time in Zone Goal option, another
feature of heart rate zone training, enhances these workouts by setting a certain duration within the
target zone as a workout goal. For detailed information about the workouts, as well as the Time In
Zone Goal option, see Section 4, titled The Workouts.
During one of these workouts, grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously, or wear the
Polar® heart rate chest strap to enable the on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a
workout. The computer automatically adjusts the resistance level to maintain the target heart
rate* based on the actual heart rate. To change the target heart rate during a workout, use the
LEVEL ARROW keys.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the
FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117

3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING
THE LIFEPULSETM DIGITAL HEART RATE MONITORING SYSTEM
The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on the Life
Fitness Summit Trainer. For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout:
•
•
•
Grasp the sensors (A) firmly, but do not squeeze tightly.
Hold each sensors at the vertical midpoint.
Keep hands steady and in place.
The console displays the heart rate within 20 to 30 seconds (typical) after the user grasps the
sensors.

THE POLAR® TELEMETRY HEART RATE MONITORING CHEST STRAP
The Life Fitness Summit Trainer is equipped with Polar® heart rate monitoring system in which
electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the console. These electrodes are
attached to a chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap is optional. To
order it, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services. See Section 6.4, titled How to Obtain
Product Service.
See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two
grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the elec-
trical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap
as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough
to allow for normal breathing.
The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct
contact with skin. However, it also functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.
If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap,
pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and moisten them.
NOTE: If the Lifepulse system sensors are grasped while the chest strap is worn, and if the sig-
nals from the sensors are valid, the on-board computer uses the sensor signals for calculating
the heart rate instead of those transmitted with the chest strap.

THE WORKOUTS
4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS
This section lists the Life Fitness Summit Trainer’s pre-programmed workouts. For more detailed
information, see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts.
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting
a specific workout program. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a constant-level workout begins.
The intensity level does not change automatically.
MANUAL is a workout in which the intensity level does not change automatically.
HILL is an interval-training workout combining “hills” and “valleys” of different intensity levels, which is
proven to provide effective, time-efficient cardiovascular results.
RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regu-
lar pattern or progression.
FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning the body’s fat reserves. The user must wear
a Polar heart rate chest strap, or grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously. The workout pro-
gram automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at
65 percent of the theoretical maximum†.
CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maxi-
mum fat burning. The user must wear a Polar heart rate chest strap, or grasp the Lifepulse system sen-
sors continuously. The workout program automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart
†
rate, to maintain the rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum .
ZONE TRAINING are workouts that target specific ranges, or zones, for maintaining a heart rate to
achieve maximum exercise results. Zone Training workouts include:
HEART RATE HILL consists of three hills based on the target heart rate*. The user must grasp the
Lifepulse system sensors continuously or wear a heart rate chest strap.
HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between a hill and a valley based on the target heart rate. The
user must grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously or wear a heart rate chest strap.
EXTREME HEART RATE alternates between two target heart rate goals as quickly as possible. The
effect is similar to that of running sprints. The user must grasps the Lifepulse system sensors contin-
uously or wear a heart rate chest strap.
HILL PLUS are workouts in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The follow-
ing workouts may be accessed with this button:
AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of
various geographical areas.
FOOTHILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.
KILIMANJARO is a Hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ulti-
mate peak and then gradually decline.
INTERVAL is a Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually
incline toward a peak and then gradually decline.
CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.
SPEED TRAINING is a Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low
levels very quickly to simulate a typical speed-training workout.

3) ENTERING WORKOUT GOALS
SELECTING A GOAL TYPE
Goal Type defaults to TIME (length of workout). When prompted to enter a Goal Time, use the ARROW
KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed time to the desired value, or key in the desired value with
the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and press ENTER.
Workouts can be programmed to target certain types of goals other than the default time goal:
•
•
•
Distance
Calories
Time in zone (for heart rate workouts only)
The Distance Goal feature is designed to build endurance. The user sets a distance goal during the
workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a Cooldown Phase and ends
afterward. To use this feature:
1. Select a workout (the distance goal is available for any of the workouts.)
2. In the Goal Type setup screen, choose DISTANCE, enter the desired distance goal, and select
ENTER.
3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.
4. Begin the workout.
The Calories Goal feature is designed to promote weight loss and weight control. The user sets a calorie
goal during the workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a Cooldown
Phase and ends afterward. To use this feature:
1. Select a workout (the calorie goal is available for any of the workouts.)
2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose CALORIES, enter the desired calorie goal, and select ENTER.
3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.
4. Begin the workout.
The Time in Zone goal enhances a heart rate workout by setting a certain duration within the target heart
rate* as a workout goal. The program automatically alters the resistance to maintain a pace that will meet
that objective within that duration. Once the objective is met, the workout automatically goes into a
Cooldown Phase. To use the Time In Zone Goal feature:
1. Select either FAT BURN, CARDIO, or any of the Zone Training workouts including HEART RATE
HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE.
2. In the Goal Time setup screen, choose TIME IN ZONE, enter the desired amount of time, and select
ENTER.
3. Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.
4. Begin the workout.
NOTE: Time in Zone is directly correlated to fitness level. Since the program will continue to increase
resistance until the goal is met, it may be wise to start low and work towards a higher goal. Choose
Cooldown at any time, to exit the workout and immediately enter a Cooldown Phase.
For help setting Time in Zone goals, consult a personal trainer. For more information on Heart Rate Zone
Training, see Section 3.1 Why Heart Rate Zone Training?

SELECTING AND ADJUSTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL
When prompted, use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed intensity level or tar-
get heart rate* to the desired value, or choose the desired value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and
press ENTER. Adjust the level as needed or desired during the workout.
•
Intensity level: The Life Fitness Summit Trainer provides a selection of 26 intensity levels (0 to
25). The resistance is independent of speed. The Workout Profile Window displays the levels
of intensity in a workout-in-progress as proportional columns. The height of the column fur-
thest to the left is proportional to the current level of intensity. 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 Polar
heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors; and it uses this data to adjust the resis-
tance. Manually raising the rate increases the intensity of the cardiovascular exercise.
4) ENTERING WORKOUT VALUES
AGE: When prompted to enter Age, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the dis-
played age to the correct value, or key in the correct value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and
press ENTER.
Life Fitness Summit Trainer workout programs that set a target heart rate* zone first calculate the
user’s theoretical maximum heart rate† by subtracting the user’s age from the number 220. The
programs then calculate the target zone as a percentage of the theoretical maximum.
WEIGHT: Select weight and press enter. Entering an accurate weight allows for a more accurate
calorie calculation and for Watts and METs to be computed and displayed.
GENDER: Select gender and press enter. (Only used for the Fitness Testing workouts)
5) SELECTING A WORKOUT MODE
Aerobics Mode provides another option for varying workouts. NOTE: Aerobics Mode is not available on
any of the heart rate workouts.

retains all the progress information about the workout since its beginning. To change workouts “on the
fly,” simply press CHANGE WORKOUT and then choose a new workout. To switch to a new workout,
and restart the progress information, choose CHANGE WORKOUT and then RESET.
NOTE: All workouts can be switched “on-the-fly” (retaining progress information) except for HIll Plus
workouts. To change from a Hill Plus workout to another workout, the user must select CHANGE
WORKOUT and RESET (losing workout progress).
CHANGING WORKOUT GOALS DURING A WORKOUT
It is possible during a workout, to change a workout goal (Time, Distance, Calories, and Time in Zone
for heart rate programs). To adjust a goal type or choose a different goal, select Change Workout, and
then ADJUST GOAL which accesses the goal type screen defaulted to the current goal type and
value. To change the goal value, use the arrow buttons or the numerical keypad, change the value,
and then select Enter. To change the goal type, choose a different goal, enter a value, and select
ENTER. After the switch, the console retains all the progress information about the workout since its
beginning.
PAUSING WORKOUTS
To pause a workout, simply stop pedaling. An EXIT WORKOUT button appears. Selecting EXIT
WORKOUT takes the user out of the workout, back to the Welcome Screen. To continue the
workout, resume pedaling. The pause duration defaults to 1 minute (configurable by the manag-
er), after which, the console returns to the Welcome Screen.
7) USING MARATHON MODE
If Marathon Mode is enabled, a Marathon Mode button will appear in the time entry screen
when configuring a workout. Selecting Marathon Mode sets the workout to an unlimited time
workout. The workout can then be ended only by the user.
Within a workout, Marathon Mode can be changed by pressing the Time Key. Pressing the
Time Key makes it possible to set a time goal as long as it's not less than the time already
spent in the workout. A new time goal must be set and entered to override Marathon Mode.

4.3 WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS
QUICK START
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a
specific workout program. The intensity level for the workout is set automatically and remains
the same unless manually changed. To change the level and stay in the Workout Progress
screen, press the UP or DOWN ARROW KEYS on the Control Panel, corresponding to the
LEVEL button. Level can also be changed by touching the LEVEL button on the Touchscreen
Display, and then changing the level using the arrow buttons or the numeric keypad and press-
ing ENTER.
For Calories Burned and Calories per Hour to be computed and displayed during a workout,
select the ENTER WEIGHT button which is required to calculate these values. Using the
ARROW KEYS, increase or decrease the displayed weight to the correct value, or enter weight
using the NUMERIC keypad, and press ENTER to register.
MANUAL
The MANUAL program sets an intensity level that does not change automatically. While the
workout is in progress, increase or lower the intensity level as desired, using the arrow keys.
RANDOM
The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More
than one million different patterns are possible. Because workout levels are greater in this work-
out 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.
FAT BURN
The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoreti-
cal maximum† for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap or grips
the Lifepulse system sensors. If the user is not wearing a chest strap or grasping the sensors,
the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a heart shape, and the display prompts the user to
grip the sensors. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the
intensity level of the Life Fitness Summit Trainer to reach and maintain the target*. This system
eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using
the body's fat stores for fuel.
CARDIO
The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate** is cal-
culated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum. The user wears a chest strap or grips the
Lifepulse system sensors.The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a
heavier workload on the heart muscle.

HILL
The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are
periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The WORK-
OUT PROFILE window represents these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have
the appearance of hills and valleys. The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically
demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respiratory improvement than steady-pace training.
Each HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The WORKOUT
PROFILE window displays the progress of these phases, as seen in the chart following these descrip-
tions below. As noted in the descriptions, the heart rate should be measured at two stages in the workout
to gauge its effectiveness. To do so, wear the chest strap or continuously grip the Lifepulse system sen-
sors. Note that the message area does not display a request for a heart rate measurement during a HILL
workout.
1
2
3
Warm-up is a phase of low, gradually-rising resistance, which brings the heart rate into the lower
end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles.
Plateau increases the intensity slightly, and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end
of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.
Interval Training is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys (or periods of
recovery). The heart rate should rise to the high end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at
the end of this phase.
4
Cooldown is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid and other
exercise by-products, which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.
Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE window and the chart above, represents one
interval. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each workout is
made up of 20 intervals, so the duration of each interval is equal to the duration of the entire workout
divided by 20.
10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For
every minute added by the user “on the fly,” each interval increases by three seconds.
A 15-minute workout consists of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each.
20 to 99 minutes: All intervals last 60 seconds. If the user adds minutes to the pre-set duration
while the workout is in progress, the program adds hills and valleys that are identical to the first
eight intervals of the Interval Training phase. This pattern repeats until the workout is completed.

HILL PLUS
The Life Fitness patented HILL PLUS workouts give even more ways to vary interval training.
Based on the same principles as the HILL workout, Hill Plus workouts are customized to resem-
ble different locations/training scenarios to add variety and challenge to Hill workouts
1) AROUND THE WORLD
An interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical areas.
2) CASCADES
A two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.
3) FOOTHILLS
A rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.
4) INTERVAL
A Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a
peak and then gradually decline.
5) KILIMANJARO
A Hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then
gradually decline.
6) SPEED TRAINING
A Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low levels very quickly to
simulate a typical speed-training workout.

ZONE TRAINING
Zone Training workouts target specific ranges, or zones, for maintaining a heart rate to achieve
maximum exercise results.
1) HEART RATE HILLTM
This program combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone
Training. The default target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maximum†
(HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during the workout setup. All hills and valleys
are percentages of HRmax. The workout consists of three hills that target three heart rate goals:
The first hill brings the heart rate to 70 percent of HRmax. The second hill increases the rate to
75 percent of HRmax. The third hill matches the Target Heart Rate bringing the heart rate to 80
percent of HRmax. The valley always is defined as 65 percent of HRmax.
After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate
goal. Once the user reaches 70 percent of HRmax, the hill continues for one minute. When the
minute expires, the level decreases into a valley. Once the user's heart rate falls to 65 percent of
HRmax, the valley continues for one minute. Then the next hill begins with its corresponding heart
rate goal. After the user completes the third hill/valley pair, the program returns to the first hill and
repeats the cycle as long as the duration allows. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a
Cooldown Phase. If the heart rate goes above the theoretical maximum for more than 45 seconds,
the cross-trainer automatically goes into pause mode. The program does not proceed to a new
heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal. The user must wear a heart rate chest
strap or grip the Lifepulse sensors throughout the workout.

2) HEART RATE INTERVALTM
This program also combines the standard HILL workout profile with the concept of Heart Rate
Zone Training. The default target heart rate* is calculated as 80 percent of the theoretical maxi-
mum† (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during the workout setup. The workout
alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate of 80 percent of HRmax,
and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 65 percent of HRmax. After a standard three-minute
warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the goal is reached,
the hill continues for three minutes. Then the level decreases into a valley. Once the 65 percent of
HRmax goal is reached, the valley continues for three minutes, after which the next hill begins. The
user's fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys encountered within the duration. At the
end of the duration, the workout goes into a Cooldown Phase. If the heart rate goes above the the-
oretical maximum† for more than 45 seconds, the cross-trainer automatically goes into pause
mode. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current
goal. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap or grip the Lifepulse sensors throughout the work-
out.

3) EXTREME HEART RATETM
This intense, varied workout is designed to help more experienced users break through fitness
improvement plateaus. The workout alternates between two target heart rates* as quickly as possi-
ble. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. The user must wear a chest strap or grip the
LifepulseTM sensors throughout the workout.
When setting up the workout, the user enters a target heart rate. After a standard three-minute
warm-up, the intensity increases, until the user reaches the target heart rate goal of 85 percent
of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax). That target rate is maintained for a stabilizing period.
Then, the intensity decreases. When the heart rate falls to the 65 percent of HRmax goal, it is
maintained there for a stabilizing period. The program repeats the alternating of intensity levels,
continuing this pattern throughout the duration. The program does not proceed to a new heart
rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.

PERSONAL TRAINER
Personal Trainer workouts are customized workouts designed either for the advanced user or to
be used in connection with a personal trainer.
1) CROSS-TRAIN AEROBICS
During this workout, the unit prompts the user to emphasize different muscle groups. To emphasize
upper-body muscles, the user is prompted to focus on pushing and pulling the moving arms at vari-
ous times. To emphasize lower-body muscles, the the user is prompted to rest the hands on the sta-
tionary handlebar, thus forcing the legs to do all the work.
CROSS-TRAIN AEROBICS is a constant-resistance workout. However, for a similar experience with
a variable-resistance-level workout, the user can start any workout (except for Fat Burn, Cardio,
Heart Rate Hill, Heart Rate Interval, or Extreme Heart Rate) and then under Mode select AEROBICS.
2) LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST
The Life Fitness Fit Test program is another exclusive feature of this versatile cross-trainer. The Life
Fitness Fit Test measures cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance
every four to six weeks. The user must grasp the hand sensors when prompted or wear a heart rate chest
strap, as the test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading. The workout duration will be five min-
utes at the chosen resistance level. Immediately afterward, the console will take the user's heart rate read-
ing, calculate a fitness score, and display the score in a results window.
The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart sup-
plies oxygenated blood to the exercising muscles, and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from
the blood. Physicians and exercise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic
capacity.
To set up the Fit Test:
O
Choose PERSONAL TRAINER, then LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST.
O
Go through the setup screens for the Fit Test, including WEIGHT, AGE, AND GENDER. Press Enter
after each selection to record the entry.
O
Choose a workout level (ENTER LEVEL). Consult the following recommended fit test level chart for
an appropriate effort level based on your age, gender and activity level. Use the NUMERIC BUT-
TONS or UP/DOWN ARROW BUTTONS to enter the corresponding level.
O
As the test continues, a message will prompt the user to maintain a pedaling rate of 50-60 rpm
(equivalent to 4.2-5.5 mph). The user must maintain this rate throughout the 5-minute test duration.
After 16 seconds, if this speed is not maintained, the fit test will automatically terminate.
After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score will be displayed.

* In cases of excessive weight, use lower half of range.
The computer will not accept:
O
heart rates less than 52 or greater than 200 beats per minute
O
body weights less than 75 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 400 pounds (182 kg)
O
ages below 10 or over 99 years
O
data input that exceeds human potential
If an error is made when entering any Fit Test data, correct it by pressing CLEAR, inputting the correct
information, and pressing ENTER.
It is important to take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. Heart rate is dependent on many
factors, including:
O
amount of sleep the previous night (at least seven hours is recommended)
O
time of day
O
time of last meal (two to four hours after the last meal is recommended)
O
time of last beverage containing caffeine or alcohol, or of a cigarette (at least four hours is recom-
mended)
O
time since last exercise (at least six hours is recommended)
For the most accurate Fit Test results, perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and average the
three scores.
NOTE: To receive a proper Fit Test score, the work done must be within a training heart rate zone that is
60 percent to 85 percent of the theoretical maximum heart rate. This rate is defined by the American
College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an
individual's age.

4.4 CUSTOM WORKOUTS
Using the console, fitness club managers and other authorized personnel can create up to six custom
workouts for the Life Fitness Summit Trainer. Options include custom interval heart rate and hill workouts.
Interval heart rate: The trainer can design a workout that sets a different target heart rate* for each inter-
val and adjusts the resistance to the user's heart rate.
Hill: The trainer can create a custom hill workout that sets a different intensity level for each interval.
USING CUSTOM WORKOUTS
Once CUSTOM workouts are created, users can access them through the Custom Workout button. Each cus-
tom workout is identified by a numeral, from 1 to 6. To select these workouts, press the PERSONAL TRAINER
key. When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER, press the number corresponding to the desired workout using
the NUMERIC keypad. Then press ENTER and begin the workout.
CREATING A PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT
When the console is activated, hold down the COOLDOWN button and press the PERSONAL TRAINER
button simultaneously.
Using the ARROW keys, scroll to, and select, the “PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT ENTRY” option and
press ENTER. (If the alternate option, “ERASE PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS”, is selected, the com-
puter deletes setup information for all PERSONAL TRAINER workouts and the MESSAGE CENTER dis-
plays "PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS ERASED". Then the MESSAGE CENTER displays "PERSON-
AL TRAINER WORKOUT ENTRY").
Select a number, from 1 to 6, to identify the new workout. Use the NUMERIC keypad or the ARROW keys.
Then press ENTER.
If a PERSONAL TRAINER workout already has been created for that number, the MESSAGE CENTER dis-
plays a prompt to either modify the workout or proceed to another number. Pressing the CLEAR key overwrites
the previously created workout, making it possible to create a new workout for that number. Pressing ENTER
bypasses the number and proceeds to another number.
If a PERSONAL TRAINER workout has not been created for a selected number, the MESSAGE CENTER
displays the prompt, "BEGIN PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT CREATION".
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to enter a duration time for the entire workout. Using the
NUMERIC keypad, enter a duration and press ENTER.
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select the workout type. Options are “TARGET HEART
RATE PERCENTAGE” or “LEVEL”. The latter type is for custom hill workouts. Use the ARROW keys to
toggle between the options, and press ENTER to select one of them.
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select a target heart rate or an intensity level for the first inter-
val, depending on the type of workout chosen in an earlier step. Use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC key-
pad. A PERSONAL TRAINER workout consists of 30 intervals, so the length of each interval is equal to the
workout duration value divided by 30. After entering the value, press ENTER. Repeat this set of steps for each
of the following 29 intervals. To keep the preceding value for the current interval, simply press ENTER. At the
end of this setup, the MESSAGE CENTER displays “PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT COMPLETED”. The
new PERSONAL TRAINER workout is ready to use.
Press the ENTER key to set up another workout. OR
Press the CLEAR key. The MESSAGE CENTER will display “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK
START”.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO
workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

4.5 USING THE LIFE FITNESS SUMMIT TRAINER
SUMMIT TRAINER MOTION
The Life Fitness Summit Trainer has a user-defined stride length with a maximum of 26 inches, or
66 centimeters. The unit features dependent stepping action, which means that the pedal move-
ments are dependent upon each other from left to right and from lower body to upper body. The
benefits of these features include:
•
Variety of stride lengths to accommodate shorter and taller users and to allow for a variety
of motions
•
•
•
Pull-push hip and knee action, which simulates actual climbing
Development of muscular strength and endurance
Excellent cardiovascular exercise
POSTURE DURING WORKOUTS
Begin stepping at a comfortable pace, taking either full or short steps, and keeping the back
straight. Hold the handrails, the bullhorns, or the moving arms. It should be noted that resting on
the handrails for support can offload weight and cause the Life Fitness Summit Trainer console to
give inaccurate readings of calories burned.
There are five different body positions that can be used to activate different muscle groups.
1. Upright, Lower Body. With hands on handrails, maintain an upright, plumb-line position
with your ears over shoulders, shoulders over hips and knees in line with toes. This
upright posture promotes shorter strides. This position is good for beginners and recovery
from advanced positions.
2. Upright, Total Body. With hands on moving arms, maintain an upright, plumb-line position
as described above with your ears over shoulders, shoulders over hips and knees in line
with toes. Keep your hips square to the console. This position is good for all levels and
recovery from advanced positions.
3. Forward Lean, Lower Body Only. With hands on handrails, bend forward at hips and
maintain an erect spine and lower body alignment. This position is good for intermediate to
advanced users and recovery from advanced positions.
4. Forward Lean, Total Body. With hands on moving arms, bend forward at hips and main-
tain an erect spine and lower body alignment. The arms facilitate the leg movement, while
the upper body push and pull encourages longer strides. This position is good for interme-
diate to advanced users.
5. Racing Position, Lower Body Only. With hands on the bull horns or elbows resting on
the handrails, achieve a racing position by bending forward at hips while maintaining a flat
back and lower body alignment of the knees and toes. This forward position promotes
maximum stride length and hip extension. This position is good for advanced users for a
short period of time.
