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 Recumbent Bike features five exclusive work-
outs 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 sen-
sors, or wear the Polar heart rate chest strap to enable the
bike's on-board computer to monitor the heart rate. The comput-
er automatically adjusts the resistance level to maintain the target
heart rate* based on the actual heart rate.
To change the target heart rate
keys on the Control Panel, or touch the TARGET HR button on
the Touchscreen Display, and then enter the new heart rate
using the keypad or the arrow keys, and select ENTER.
* 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.
