The soft response of the Lifesprings helps prevent the “bottoming out” feeling experienced in many independent stairclimbers. © THE DISPLAY CONSOLE The computerized display console allows you to monitor your progress as you exercise. The Life Fitness 5500 stepper’s on-board computer lets you tailor your workout to your individual fitness capabilities while providing a unique means of measuring your fitness improvement from one workout to the next. As your fitness improves, you can increase the intensity of your workouts to challenge yourself and maintain your fitness level. Display Console A. MESSAGE CENTER: The Message Center provides simple, step-by-step instructions for beginning your workout and displays constant feedback while you exercise. When the rows of lights above and below the window are lit, the current data of those functions are displayed. The Message Center switches between the top and bottom rows every 10 seconds. If you wish to keep one row of feedback lights displayed, press the ENTER/START/HOLD key when those lights are lit. # TIME: Displays the elapsed time of your workout and functions as a stopwatch (useful for checking your pulse at the end of your Fit Test or during Pause; see “Additional Features” at the end of this section) in the pause mode. # FLOORS CLIMBED: Shows the total number of floors climbed. # CALORIES BURNED: Displays total calories burned. # LEVEL: Shows the current effort level selected. # FLOORS / MIN-GOAL: Indicates the floors-per-minute rate which you should be maintaining based on the program and effort level you selected (in Dependent action, Regular mode). If you are stepping above or below the floors-per-minute goal, the © display will flash. If you fall below your floors-per-minute goal for one minute, the effort level and floors-per-minute goal will automatically decrease. • FLOORS / MIN-ACTUAL: Displays your actual floors-per-minute pace (one floor is equal to 10.2 feet/3.1 meters). You should attempt to keep this figure as close to the floors-per-minute goal as possible to maximize the aerobic benefits of your workout. • CALORIES / HOUR or WATTS: Displays the number of calories you would burn in one hour at your present pace and effort level. All metric stairclimbers display energy expended in watts. • HEART RATE: Your current heart rate will be displayed when you are wearing a Life Fitness Zone Trainer heart rate monitor chest strap (optional). B. PROGRAM OPTIONS: These diagrams graphically represent the various workout profiles encountered within the various Life Fitness programs. C. PROGRAM PROFILE WINDOW: In the Hill Profile, Random, and warm-up portion of the Heart Rate programs, a matrix of lights shows your present position and upcoming terrain. The left-most columnof lights flashes and represents your current position. The remaining columns of lights show the upcoming terrain and move across the screen from right to left. In the Heart Rate program, a heart shape (*») will appear. In all other programs, a “wedge” indicating the current effort level is displayed. D. FUNCTION KEYS: • ENTER/START/HOLD: This key is used to begin an exercise program, to restart a program after pausing, to enter data, or to hold the top or bottom Message Center displays. • CLEAR/PAUSE: Press this key once to put an exercise program on hold for up to four minutes (after four minutes the programs will reset). The time display functions as a stopwatch to time your rest period or to take your pulse. To resume your workout, press ENTER/START/HOLD or resume stepping. The CLEAR/PAUSE key may also be used to clear any input prior to pushing ENTER/START/HOLD. Pressing CLEAR/PAUSE twice will reset the programs to the beginning. • AT: Pressing the AT keys allows you to scroll among the various program options. You can also increase or decrease the effort level (from 1 to 12 in Dependent action or 1 to 15 in Independent action) using these keys. You may change your current level at any time during the Hill Profile, Random, Manual, and Quick Start programs.
