Target Heart Rate Display
Target heart rate is a desired range
during cardiovascular exercise which
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.
(Arrows are not functional with X1).
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.

Heart Rate Display
Heart rate is the number of
contractions of the heart in one
minute. The heart rate display
calculates the user’s actual heart rate in contractions
or beats per minute during a workout. User must be
holding on to the contact heart rate electrodes for the
heart rate display to function
(not available on the
X1)
. In order to get the best Heart Rate reading, Life
Fitness recommends holding the sensors and
remaining as still as possible to eliminate any muscle
“noise” that is not related to the heart.
