TARGET ZONE

Your Target Zone is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Zone will vary for each
individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. The
American Heart Association recommends working-out at a T arget Heart Rate Zone of
between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate. See the chart below for convenient
reference.
EXAMPLE:
for a 42-year old user: find AGE along the bottom of the chart (round to 40),
follow AGE column up to the TARGET ZONE BAR. RESULTS: 60% of maximum Hear Rate =
108 Beats Per Minute, 75% of maximum Heart Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.
