Research shows that exercising within a specific heart rate is the
optimal way to monitor exercise intensity and achieve maximum
results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone
Training approach to exercise.
Zone Training Exercise 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 goals. In
short, Zone Training Exercise all but eliminates under- and over-
training by targeting heart rate to individual fitness objectives.
For instance, if the primary goal is to burn fat, exercise at a level
between 60% and 75% of the theoretical maximum heart rate
To improve cardiovascular condition, work out at 75% to 85% of the
theoretical maximum heart rate.
Life Fitness offers two exclusive workouts designed to take full
advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise:
Fat Burn and Cardio. The focus of the exercise activities can be
varied by switching between the Fat Burn and Cardio workouts at
any time during a workout or by entering a new target heart rate
with the Up or Down Arrow keys.
Both the Fat Burn and Cardio workouts measure heart rate. Wear
the telemetry heart rate chest strap and the heart rate will be
transmitted to the on-board computer continuously. The resistance
level will automatically adjust to maintain the target heart rate based
on the actual heart rate.
