4. HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING® EXERCISE

4.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE?

Research shows that exercising within a specific heart rate zone is the optimum way to both monitor exercise intensity and achieve maximum results. That’s the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training approach to exercise.

Zone Training Exercise takes the guesswork out of working out. By training in programs where specific heart rate ranges, or zones are maintained, you can achieve maximum exercise results according to the goals you set. In short, Zone Training Exercise all but eliminates under- and over-training by accurately targeting your heart rate to match your individual fitness levels and objectives

For example, if your 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 five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training. The effect 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. By wearing the telemetry heart rate chest strap, your heart rate will be transmitted to the on-board computer continuously. With this information, the resistance level will automatically adjust to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.

Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine’s “Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription” as 220 minus the user’s age.
