Research shows that exercising within a specific heart rate range is the optimal way to monitor exercise intensity
and achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training+ Exercise
Program.
Zone Training takes the guesswork out of working out by identifying specific ranges, or zones, in which to maintain
a heart rate to achieve maximum exercise results according to personal goals. In short, Zone Training all but
eliminates under- and over-training by allowing you to target your heart rate to your individual fitness objectives.
For instance, if the primary goal is to burn fat, exercise at a level between 60% and 75% of your theoretical
†
maximum heart rate . To improve your cardiovascular condition, you should work out at 75% to 85% of your
theoretical maximum heart rate.
Life Fitness offers five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone
Training: Fat Burn, Cardio, Heart Rate Hill, Heart Rate Interval, and Extreme HR. Vary the focus of the exercise
activities by entering a new target heart rate with the Arrow Keys.
These 5 workouts measure heart rate. As you exercise, grasp the Lifepulse sensors when prompted (models C9i or
R9i), or simply wear a heart rate chest strap on telemetry equipped models (C7i and R7i) and your heart rate will be
transmitted to the on-board computer. The resistance level will automatically adjust to maintain the target heart rate
based on your actual heart rate.
† Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as 220 minus your age.
