TARGET HEART RATE

Ɣ
The old motto, "no pain, no gain", is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising
comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use
of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their choice of exercise intensity is either too high or too low and
exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your Maximum Heart Rate.
This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 - User's Age = Maximum Heart Rate. If you enter
your age during programming of the console the console will perform this calculation automatically. This is used
for the HR control programs. After calculating your Maximum Heart Rate, you can decide upon which goal you
would like to pursue. The two most popular reasons for, or goals of exercise, are cardiovascular fitness (training
for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The
black columns on the chart above represent the
Maximum Heart Rate for a person whose age is
listed at the bottom of each column. The training
heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or
weight loss, is represented by two different lines
that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition
of the lines' goal is in the bottom left-hand corner
of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness
or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training
at 90% or 70%, respectively, of your Maximum
Heart Rate on a schedule approved by your
physician. Consult your physician before
participating in any exercise program.
With all Heart Rate Control ellipticals, you may
use the heart rate monitor feature without using
the Heart Rate Control program.
