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.
NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and
designing a workout program.
The Lifecycle exercise bike features five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of
the benefits of heart rate zone training exercise: FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL,
HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE. The Time in Zone Goal option, another
feature of heart rate zone training, enhances these workouts by setting a certain duration within the
target zone as a workout goal. For detailed information about the workouts, as well as the Time In
Zone Goal option, see Section 4, titled The Workouts.
During one of these workouts, grasp the Lifepulse system sensors, or wear the Polar heart rate
chest strap to enable the bike's on-board computer to monitor the heart rate. The computer automat-
ically adjusts the resistance level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate. To
change the target heart rate during a workout, switch between these programs, or simply enter a new
target heart rate, using the NUMERIC keypad.
