3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING® + EXERCISE

3.1WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE?

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. The Life Fitness Treadmill features five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training+ exercise: FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE. Each workout offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4, titled The Workouts.

Note: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.

All 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 computer automatically adjusts the incline level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.
