3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING

+ EXERCISE

3.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE?

Research shows that exercising within a specific heart rate is the optimal way to monitor exercise intensity and

achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training approach to exercise.

Zone Training Exercise takes the guesswork out of working out by identifying specific ranges, or zones, in which to

maintain a heart rate to achieve maximum exercise results according to goals. In short, Zone Training Exercise all

but eliminates under- and over-training by targeting the heart rate to individual fitness objectives.

For instance, if the primary goal is to burn fat, exercise at a level between 60% and 75% of the theoretical

maximum heart rate

†

. Alternately, to improve cardiovascular condition, work out at 75% to 85% of the theoretical

maximum heart rate.

Life Fitness offers 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 HR. The focus of the

exercise activities can be varied by switching between the Zone Training workouts at any time during a workout by

using the Workout Program Key.

All Zone Training workouts measure heart rate. Wear a telemetry heart rate chest strap and the heart rate will be

transmitted to the on-board computer continuously. The elevation level will automatically adjust to maintain the

target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.

† Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as 220 minus age.
