Target heart rate is a percentage of a user’s maximum heart rate. The goal is to target a
range that enables one’s heart and lungs to receive the most benefit from a workout. The
console calculates target heart rate by taking the maximum heart rate and multiplying it by
an intensity level. Maximum heart rate = 206.9 - (.67 x user’s age). Life Fitness intensity levels are 65% for
weight loss and fat burning and 80% for improving cardiovascular endurance. The display will toggle between the
65% and 80% intensity levels. An arrow pointing up or down will illuminate to show when the user’s actual heart
rate is above or below the target heart rate.
Example:
User’s Age is 45.
206.9 - (.67 x 45) = 176.75.
177 is the Maximum Heart Rate for a 45 year old.
177 x 65% = 115. 115 is the optimal target heart rate for weight loss and fat burning.

A calorie is a unit used to measure energy. It represents the amount of energy obtained
from food. One calorie is approximately enough energy to increase the temperature of 1
gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. The console calculates an average caloric burn
based on a Life Fitness proprietary calorie equation. This formula may not match other manufacturer’s machines
or other Life Fitness machines.

The workout profile graphically displays the intensity of a workout with columns
of various heights. During the workout the current intensity level the user is in is
signified by an arrow located above the appropriate column. During a heart rate
workout the workout profile acts like a graph of the user’s heart rate. Each of the nine rows of the profile will
represent the user’s actual heart rate as a percentage of their heart rate max. Therefore by the end of the work
out, the user will be able to visually see their heart rate ranges throughout the workout.
Note:
The percent in the table represents the user’s actual heart rate as a percent of their heart rate max. The heart rate
max is 206.9 - (.67 x user’s age). For example: A 40 year old’s heart rate max would be 206.9 - (.67 x 40) = 180. During
their workout at the first interval their actual heart was 100. Therefore 100/180 = .56 or 56% and the profile would dis-
play the user at row four for the first interval of the workout.
