MAXIMUM HEART RATE (MHR)

Before you begin a workout, ensure you know your approximate Maximum Heart Rate (MHR), which
can be calculated as follows.
Approximate MHR = 220 – Age.
Once you know your approximate MHR you may use the below graph to calculate your heart rate
zones. This will help you select the correct type of exercise program or level for your exercise.
WARNING: It is recommended that you never exceed 90% of your Maximum Heart Rate while
exercising on a Bodyguard Fitness product.
On the Programs List, you will find several Heart Rate Training Programs whose Heart Rate
parameters are based on the above chart. These programs allow you to exercise at pre-determined
Heart Rate levels. By monitoring your heart rate and making changes to the equipment's settings as
you exercise, these programs keep your heart rate within a few beats per minute of the target.
