3HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING® + EXERCISE
3.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE?
Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercis ing is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of
a workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Lif e 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. The Life Fit ness Treadmill features five exclusive
workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zo ne Training+ exercise: FAT BURN,
CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE. Each workout offers
different benefits, as discussed in Section 4, titled The Workouts.
Note: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitnes s goals and designing a workout
program.
All Zone Training workouts measure heart rate. Wear a telemetry chest str ap to enable the treadmill’s on-board
computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer autom atically adjusts the incline level to
maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.
