HeART RATe TRAInInG
the first step in knowing the right intensity for your training is to
find out your maximum heart rate (max HR = 220 – your age).
the age-based method provides an average statistical prediction
of your max HR and is a good method for the majority of people,
especially those new to heart rate training. the most precise
and accurate way of determining your individual max HR is to
have it clinically tested by a cardiologist or exercise physiologist
through the use of a maximal stress test. if you are over the age
of 40, overweight, have been sedentary for several years, or
have a history of heart disease in your family, clinical testing is
recommended. this chart gives examples of the heart rate range
for a 30 year old exercising at 5 different heart rate zones. For
example, a 30-year-old's max HR is 220 – 30 = 190 BPm and
90% max HR is 190 × 0.9 = 171 BPm.
TARGeT HeART RATe: automatically adjusts incline to maintain your target heart rate. Perfect for simulating the
intensity of your favorite sport or everyday activity. time-based goal.
1) select target Heart Rate program and press enteR.
2) select time using
3) the HeaRt Rate window will flash showing the default target heart rate of 80 beats per minute. select your target heart
rate (from the chart above) using
notes:
•
target heart rate is selected in multiples of 5 beats.
•
the long led dot matrix window displays your heart rate during
exercise. When incline or speed change, they will be displayed briefly
before changing back to heart rate.
•
there is a 4-minute warm-up built into this program.
•
after 4 minutes, the speed will automatically adjust to bring your heart
rate within 5 beats of the target number you selected at the beginning
of the program.
