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.

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

The Life Fitness Summit Trainer features 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. The Time in Zone Goal option, another feature of heart rate zone training, enhances these workouts by setting a certain duration within the target zone as a workout goal. For detailed information about the workouts, as well as the Time In Zone Goal option, see Section 4, titled The Workouts.

During one of these workouts, 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 to maintain the target heart rate* based on the actual heart rate. To change the target heart rate during a workout, use the LEVEL ARROW keys.

*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117
