3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING

+ EXERCISE

3.1 WHY 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. The Lifecycle Recumbent Exercise Bike features five

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. Each workout

offers different benefits, as discussed in Section 4, titled The Workouts.

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

program.

All Zone Training workouts measure heart rate. Grasp the Lifepulse Sensors (R9i only), or wear the telemetry chest

strap to enable the bike’s on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer

automatically adjusts the intensity level to maintain the target heart rate* based on the actual heart rate.

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

HEART RATE INTERVAL workout is 144. The HEART RATE INTERVAL workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation

would be (220-40)*.80=144.
