2.3HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING®

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 fit- ness. The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The maxi- mal heart rate formula is defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription", 8th Edition, 2009. HRmax equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age.

HR Max = 206.9 - (0.67 * age)

The Life Fitness products feature these 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 • EXTREME HEART RATE

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

The HeartSync workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grip the contact heart rate sensors, to enable the on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automati- cally adjusts the incline or level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.
