3HEART 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 Total Body 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 sen-

sors 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 Arrow

keys on the Control Panel directly under Target Heart Rate*, or

use the Target Heart Rate button on the Touchscreen Display to

access the Target Heart Rate Set-up window. Use the numerical

keypad or the arrow keys to change your selection, select

ENTER and continue your workout.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the

FAT BURNworkout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117
