3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE

3.1WHY HEARTSYNC™ 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 HeartSync™ 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 val- ues within the zone depend on the workout.

NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining spe- cific fitness goals and designing a workout program.

*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.
