These workouts combine the effectiveness of Interval Training with the accuracy of Heart Rate Zone Training. A recommended
workout heart rate is calculated for you based on your age. You are shown this value and asked to accept or change it using the
Arrow Keys and/or Enter Key. If you accept this number, it becomes the upper value of your workout zone. The lower value of this
zone is automatically calculated based on which program you have selected. During the workout, your Heart Rate Zone is tracked to
see how long you stay in the zone.

On featured Life Fitness cardiovascular equipment, The Fat Burn workout focuses on Heart Rate Zone Training at a level that
maximizes the use of your bodys fat stores for fuel. Using a heart rate chest strap (standard on X5i; optional on X5) helps you
maintain a specific heart rate (65% of a theoretical maximum heart rate
) within a target zone based on your age. The result is
a perfect workout every time, eliminating both under- and over-training...and the need to monitor your workout, because your
Life Fitness unit responds to the heart rate and adjusts the workout accordingly.
NOTE: (For all Heart Rate Control Programs)
The Cross-Trainer varies resistance automatically to keep your HR in the target zone. In order to assure proper
variation its important the user maintains a constant R.P.M. (speed).
