The key to proper operation is for the electrodes to
remain wet in order to transmit the electrical impulses of
the heart back to the receiver.
If it becomes necessary to remoisten the chest strap
electrodes, simply grasp the center of the strap, pull it
away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, then
moisten them in this position.

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 body’s fat stores for fuel. Using an optional heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse System, it 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 it’s important the user maintains a constant R.P.M. (speed).

4.2 HEART RATE MONITORING
THE HEART RATE CHEST STRAP
The Heart Rate Chest Strap allows the on-board 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.
The transmitter strap will deliver an optimum heart rate
reading when the electrodes are directly in contact with bare
skin. However, it will function properly through wet,
lightweight clothing.
