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 resistance 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.
•
There is a warm-up built into this program.
•
After the warm-up, the resistance will automatically adjust to bring
your heart rate within 5 beats of the target number you selected at
the beginning of the program.

If there is no heart rate detected, the unit will not change
resistance levels up or down.
•
If your heart rate is 25 beats over your target zone, the
program will shut down.
