5. HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING® EXERCISE 5.1 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. Thats the idea behind the Life Fitness Heart Rate Zone Training approach to exercise. Zone Training Exercise takes the guesswork out of working out.
5.2 HEART RATE MONITORING THE HEART RATE CHEST STRAP The Heart Rate Chest Strap allows the built-in Polar® telemetry heart rate feature to continuously monitor your heart rate.* In many workouts, it also adjusts aspects of the workout such as resistance level. To begin, wet the transmitter electrodes (A), (the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap) and secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.
