AXIMIZING WORKOUTS ON A LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL
SELECTING A LEVEL
The steps for setting up a HILL, RANDOM, SPORT TRAINING 5K, SPORT TRAINING 10K
and SPORT TRAINING TIME workout include selecting a level. The word “level” refers to a
range of incline percentages. The treadmill features 20 levels, with Level 1 having the lowest
average incline grade and Level 20 having the highest.
LEVEL % Incline LEVEL % Incline
1 0.0 - 1.5 11 2.0 - 8.5
2 0.0 - 2.2 12 3.0 - 9.2
3 0.0 - 2.9 13 3.5 - 9.9
4 0.0 - 3.6 14 5.0 - 10.6
5 0.0 - 4.3 15 5.5 - 11.3
6 0.0 - 5.0 16 6.5 - 12.0
7 0.0 - 5.7 17 7.0 - 12.7
8 0.0 - 6.4 18 8.0 - 13.4
9 0.5 - 7.1 19 8.7 - 14.1
10 1.5 - 7.8 20 9.0 - 15.0
Within each level are seven incline percentages, or hills. During a workout, each hill appears in
the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows
within a column corresponds to an incline percentage. For example, in Level 5, the lowest
incline is 0.0 percent and is represented as one lit row. The highest incline, 4.3 percent, is repre-
sented by a column with all seven rows lit.
In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed
in the HILL workout description. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline per-
centage changes automatically to match that hill.
To change levels during a workout, use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad.

Feedback feature enables users to monitor their pace, or rate of minutes
per mile, while running on the treadmill. This feature must be enabled in “User Menu”. See
Section 5, titled “My Configuration”, for more information. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the
MPH and pace simultaneously when the user adjusts the treadmill speed with the ARROW
KEYS. If the user adjusts the speed using the NUMERIC keypad, the MESSAGE CENTER dis-
plays the pace after the treadmill reaches the new speed.
