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 (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The maximal heart
rate formula is defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's
HRmax equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person's age.
The Life Fitness Cross -Trainer features exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate
Zone Training+ exercise:
• FAT BURN • HEART RATE HILL
• CARDIO • HEART RATE INTERVAL
Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4
Note:
To change the target heart rate during a workout, use the LEVEL arrow keys.
To switch between programs during a workout, use the WORKOUT SELECTION keys.
The Heart Rate Zone Training® workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the optional Polar® telemetry heart rate
chest strap, or grip the Lifepulse
during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the resistance level to maintain the target heart rate based on the
actual heart rate.
