2.3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING
®
Research shows that maintaining a specifi c 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 identifi es an exerciser’s ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fi tness.
The zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax), and its value depends on the workout. The maximal heart
rate formula is defi ned by the American College of Sports Medicine’s “Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription”,
8th Edition, 2009. HRmax equals to 206.9 minus the total of 0.67 multiplied by a person’s age.
The LIFE FITNESS products feature these exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefi ts of Heart
Rate Zone Training+ exercise:
• FAT BURN • CARDIO • HEART RATE HILL • HEART RATE INTERVAL • EXTREME HEART RATE
Note: Consulting a fi tness trainer is recommended for defi ning specifi c fi tness goals and designing a workout program.
The HeartSync workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the telemetry heart rate chest strap, or grip the contact heart
rate sensors, to enable the on-board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically
adjusts the incline or level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.
