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 zone
is a percentage of the theoretical maximum † (HRmax), and its value
depends on the workout. The Life Fitness Club Series Treadmill fea-
tures five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the
benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training+ exercise:
• FAT BURN • HEART RATE HILL TM
• EXTREME HEART RATE TM
• CARDIO • HEART RATE INTERVAL
Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4,
titled The Workouts.
NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining
specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.
To change the target heart rate during a workout, simply enter a new
target heart rate using the NUMERIC keypad.
To switch between programs during a workout, use the WORKOUT SELECTION keys.
The Heart Rate Zone Training® workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the telemetry chest
strap, or grip the Lifepulse TM sensors, to enable the treadmill's on-board computer to monitor the
heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the incline level to maintain the
target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.

To use the treadmill's Lifepulse TM system to check the heart rate during a workout, grasp the stainless
steel sensors on the Ergo TM front handlebar. Two sensors are located on each of the handlebars.
Contact must be maintained with all four sensors to obtain a heart rate. The console displays a heart
rate within 20 to 30 seconds of contact with the sensors.
Do not attempt to grasp the sensors at speeds above 4.5 MPH, or 7.2 KPH. For these speeds, the
use of a heart rate chest strap is recommended.
