This Operation Manual describes the functions of the Achieve Console CAUTION: Health-related injuries may result from incorrect or excessive use of exercise equipment. Life Fitness STRONGLY recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before undertaking an exercise program, particularly if the user has a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease, or is over the age of 45, or smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or has not exercised regularly in the past year.

F CLEAR (non-treadmill products): Pressing the CLEAR key once transitions the system to the Workout Summary mode. Pressing CLEAR during the data entry phase of the workout program will return the entry to the system default (i.e. pressing CLEAR while entering your weight will return the weight value to 150 lbs). CLEAR (treadmills): Pressing the CLEAR key once causes the system to go into Pause Mode. Pressing the CLEAR key twice transitions the system to the Workout Summary mode.
2.3 THE ACCESSORY TRAY / READING RACK A built-in reading rack (A) allows a book or magazine to be supported during the workout. A built-in accessory tray (B) provides storage for items such as water bottles, personal media devices, and cell phones. NOTE: Treadmills have three accessory trays. Two side trays to accommodate large items and one center tray for smaller items.
3 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.
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. For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout: • Grasp the sensors (A) firmly. • Hold each sensor at the horizontal (cross-trainer) or vertical midpoint (treadmill and bike). • Keep hands steady and in place. The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors.
THE POLAR® TELEMETRY HEART RATE MONITORING CHEST STRAP The Polar® heart rate monitoring system transfers heart rate signals to the console when electrodes are pressed against the skin. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap and telemetry electrodes are optional. To order, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services (see page 1 of this manual). See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap.
