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 a higher percent age of calories from 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.

FAT BURN and CARDIO are exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of heart rate zone train- ing exercise. During one of these workout s, grasp the Lifepulse system sensors continuously, or wear the Polar ® heart rate chest strap to enable the on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the resistance level (non-treadmill products) or incline (treadmills) to maintain the target heart rate* based on the actual heart rate. To change the target heart rate during a workout, use the LEVEL UP/DOWN ARROW keys (left keys) on non-treadmill products. Use the INCLINE UP/DOWN ARROW keys (left keys) on treadmills.

*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.
