Life Fitness 93X - Manual (Page 18)

• Resistance level: The Life Fitness Fit Stride 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 chest strap; 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 CARDIO
workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
