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 zone is a percentage of the theoretical maximum
, and its
value depends on the workout. The Life Fitness Treadmill features five exclusive workouts
designed to take full advantage of the benefits of Heart Rate Zone Training+ exercise:
FAT BURN HEART RATE HILL
TM
EXTREME HEART RATE
TM
CARDIO HEART RATE INTERVAL
TM
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.
To change the target heart rate during a workout, switch between these programs, or simply
enter a new target heart rate, using the NUMERIC keypad.
The Heart Rate Zone Training® workout programs measure heart rate. Wear the optional
telemetry chest strap, or grip the Lifepulse

sensors, to enable the treadmills on-board comput-
er to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the incline
level to maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.
