4.1 WHY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE?
Research shows that exercising within a specific heart rate
zone is the optimum way to both monitor exercise intensity
and achieve maximum results. Thats the idea behind the
Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training approach to
exercise.
Zone Training Exercise takes the guesswork out of working
out. By training in programs where specific heart rate
ranges, or zones are maintained, you can achieve
maximum exercise results according to the goals you set.
In short, Zone Training Exercise all but eliminates under-
and over-training by accurately targeting your heart rate to
match your individual fitness levels and objectives
For example, if your primary goal is to burn fat, exercise at
a level between 60% and 75% of the theoretical maximum
heart rate
.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.
The effect of the exercise activities can be varied by
switching between the Fat Burn and Cardio workouts at
any time during a workout, or by entering a new target
heart rate with the Up or Down Arrow keys.
Both the Fat Burn and Cardio workouts measure heart rate. By wearing the telemetry heart rate chest strap, your heart rate will
be transmitted to the on-board computer continuously. With this information, the resistance level will automatically adjust to
maintain the target heart rate based on the actual heart rate.
