GENERAL HEART RATE TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS
To use the Heart Rate Training Program, it is important to determine your Target
Heart Rate, using the chart below. After determining your Target, you should use
the Treadmill in MANUAL mode to see if the Target you have selected is correct.
This will give you a good base to start your Heart Rate Training. If you feel your
Target is too low or too high, keep using the Treadmill in the MANUAL mode
until you feel comfortable during your workout; then you can begin using the
Heart Rate Training Program.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To reap the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is necessary to
exercise within a recommended intensity. The two ways to monitor exercise
intensity are Target Heart Rate, and Perceived Exertion.
TARGET HEART RATE
Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Heart Rate
will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and
personal fitness goals. Exercise heart rate should range from 55% to 85% of
your maximum heart rate. As a point of reference, we use the predicted maximum
heart rate formula of (220 minus age) to determine your heart rate training zone.
Please use the following chart to determine your predicted Target Heart Rate.
