CONSOLE
HR INCLINE: Program adjusts incline to bring to your target heart rate.
HR % INCLINE: Program adjusts incline to bring to your desired % maximum heart rate.
HR SPEED: Program adjusts speed to bring to your target heart rate.
HR % SPEED: Program adjusts speed to bring to your desired % maximum heart rate.
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.
