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 values within the zone depend on the workout.
NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and
designing a workout program.
The Total Body Trainer features exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the bene-
fits of heart rate zone training exercise: FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL (93X only),
HEART RATE INTERVAL (93X only), and EXTREME HEART RATE (93X only). For detailed
information about the workouts, see Section 4, titled The Workouts.
During one of these workouts, wear the Polar
computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the
resistance level to maintain the target heart rate* based on the actual heart rate. To change the
target heart rate during a workout, use the ARROW keys.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO
workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
