  • Page 26 Heart Rate Calculations Your maximum heart rate usually decreases from 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to approximately 160 BPM by age 60. This fall in heart rate is usually linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM for each year. There is no indication that training influences the decrease in maximum heart rate. Individuals of the same age could have different maximum heart rates. It is more accurate to find this value by completing a stress test than by using an age related formula. Your at-rest heart rate is influenced by endurance training. The typical adult has an at rest heart rate of approximately 72 BPM, whereas highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower. The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovascular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is shown. The most efficient procedure to burn fat during exercise is to start at a slow pace and gradually increase your intensity until your heart rate reaches between 60 – 85% of your maximum heart rate. Continue at that pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn. The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your opti- mal target rate may be higher or lower.

    operaTIons What to Wear Wear rubber-soled athletic shoes. You will need the appropriate clothes for exercise that allow you to move freely. How Often Should You Exercise Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed on the console is an approximation and should be used for reference only. • 3 times a week for 30 minutes each day. • Schedule workouts in advance and try to follow the schedule. Seat Adjustment Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. 1. W ith a Pedal in the forward position, place the ball of your foot over the center of it. Your leg should be bent slightly at the knee.

  • Page 32 Recovery Test Program Recovery Test shows how quickly your heart recovers from an exercise state to a more restful state. Improved recovery is an indicator of increasing fitness. Note: The Console must be able to read the heart rate information from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors or Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) to work correctly. From an elevated heart rate, select the Recovery Test Program. The Console will show “STOP EXERCISING” and the goal will begin to count down. Stop exercising but continue to grip the contact heart rate sensors. After 5 seconds, the display will show “RELAX” and will continue to count down to 00:00. For the entire minute the console will also show your heart rate. You must grip the heart rate sensors for the duration of the test if not using a Remote Heart Rate Monitor. The display will continue to show “RELAX” and your heart rate until the goal reaches 00:00. The console will then calculate your recovery score. Recovery Score = Your heart rate at 1:00 (the beginning of the test) minus your heart rate at 00:00 (the end of the test). The higher the Recovery Test score value, the quicker your heart rate is returning to a more restful state and is an indication of improving fitness.
