Training Frequency At the beginning of training, allow yourself enough time to get into shape. After a break from training, you should also allow sufficient time to rebuild physical condition. The priority is regularity and persistence of training- not intensity. Fitness experts recommend in the beginning training 3 - 4 times per week within your target heart rate for at least 20 minutes per workout.
During training it is recommended to not exceed a value of 85% of your maximum heart rate. WOODWAY programs are designed so that the heart rate remains within the target range. Your target heart rate should be between 60 and 75% of your max. heart rate. If you find that your heart rate is above 75%, you are probably running too fast.
Application Options for Children Due to their design and operation, PPS Series slat belt treadmills are only for limited use by children.
