HEART RATE ZONE INCLUDES TARGET HR, % TARGET HR:
A workout designed to keep you in your specified heart rate zone. This workout requires you to wear a wireless heart rate
strap.
TARGET HEART RATE:
The first step is knowing the right intensity for your training is to find out your maximum heart rate (max HR=220-age). The
age-based method provides an average statistical prediction of your max. HR is a good method for the majority of people.
Take 30 year old person for instance, the max HR is 220 - 30 =190 bpm. So 190 bpm is the target of this program, incline
ranges very automatically based on your heart rate changes during workout.
% TARGET HR:
There are 3 percentage values can be chosen, %55 (weight management and active recovery), %70 (moderately long
workouts) and %85 (fit persons and for athletic training). Target heart rate is calculated by (220-age)*%HR, for example 30
year-old person would like to take the weight management and active recovery (%55), target heart rate is (220-30) * 55% = 105
bmp.
