Monitoring Your Heart Rate Monitoring Your Heart Rate To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is important to work within your target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association (AHA) defines this tar- get as 60%-75% percent of your maximum heart rate. Your maximum heart rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting your age from 220.
Warm Up Exercises EXERCISE GUIDELINES WARNING! Before beginning this or any exercise program, you should consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems. Warming up prepares the body for the exercise by increasing circulation, supplying more oxy- gen to the muscles and raising body temperature.
CLEANING/MAINTENANCE - Your Achiever Elliptical has been manufactured to withstand many hours of use with minimal maintenance. It may occasionally require silicone to be sprayed on the moving parts (available at most stores). Periodically wipe down your machine with mild, soapy water or a diluted general purpose household cleaner.
