The
FAT BURN
workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical
maximum
†
for optimal results. If the user does not wear a Polar heart rate chest strap during the work-
out, the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a heart shape. The console continuously monitors
and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the Lifecycle exercise bike to reach and
maintain the target*. This system eliminates over-and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic
benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel.

The
CARDIO
workout is virtually identical to
FAT BURN
; however the target heart rate* is calcu-
lated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum
†
. The user wears a chest strap. The higher target
promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.
