The Fat Burn workout brings the benefits and results of Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise to users on a
daily basis.
On featured Life Fitness cardiovascular equipment, the Fat Burn workout uses the technology of heart rate
monitoring (via an optional heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse System) to help maintain a specific heart
rate (65% of a theoretical maximum heart rate†) within a target zone based on age. This maximizes the
aerobic benefits of exercise by accessing the body's fat stores for fuel.
The result is a perfect workout every time, eliminating both under- and over-training. Concentration is cen-
tered on the workout, because the Life Fitness product responds to the heart rate and adjusts the workout
to maintain the target heart rate.

The Cardio workout is virtually identical to the Fat Burn workout. The only difference is that the target heart
rate is calculated at 80% of the theoretical maximum heart rate† to accentuate cardiovascular improvement
by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.
To vary the focus of exercise activities, transfer between the Fat Burn and Cardio workouts at any time dur-
ing a workout.
† Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription"
as 220 minus the user's age.
