Target Heart Rate Display
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 (220 minus the user’s age) and
multiplying it by an intensity level. 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.
a.Example: User’s Age is 45. 220 – 45 = 175.
175 is the Maximum Heart Rate for a 45 year
old. 175 x 65% = 114. 114 is the optimal
target heart rate for weight loss and fat burning.

See Getting Started: Heart Rate
