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
value depends on the workout. The Life Fitness Treadmill features exclusive workouts designed
to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training® exercise. FAT BURN targets
a recommended heart rate that is 65 percent of the theoretical maximum
80 percent.
NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and
designing a workout program.
The Heart Rate Zone Training® workouts measure heart rate. Wear a telemetry chest strap to
enable the treadmill's on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The com-
puter automatically adjusts the incline level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual
heart rate.
