(or key in the correct value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD) and press ENTER. Life Fitness Bike workout programs that set a target heart rate zone first calculate the user’s theoretical maximum heart rate. The HRmax equals 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age. The programs then calculate the tar- get zone as a percentage of the theoretical maximum.
