Effective aerobic training to improve your
fitness and health requires working out at
an exercise intensity that raises your pulse to
a level that safely challenges your heart and
lungs. This level can range between 50% -
80% of your maximum heart rate and is
called your
Target Heart Rate Zone.
If you
are new to exercise or out of shape, 50% -
60% may be adequate to promote good
cardiovascular conditioning. A well condi-
tioned athlete may prefer to work up to an
80% - 85% rate.
Using your estimated heart rate as an
indicator of your fitness level provides a
built-in work intensifier. If you’re untrained,
you’ll require less effort to reach your target
heart rate zone. As your cardiovascular
fitness improves and you become stronger,
it will require more effort for you to reach
your target heart rate zone.
The chart illustrates the predicted minimum
and maximum target heart rate zones for
cardiovascular fitness for the average individ-
ual in good health. To use the chart, find
your age and the corresponding minimum
and maximum target heart rate zones.
DETERMINING YOUR ESTIMATED HEART RATE
When used properly, the unit pulse sensor can help you to determine your heart rate.
To do so:
♥
Pause just long enough from your exercise to take your pulse.
a) Place your right thumb on top of the pulse sensor that is on your
electronics monitor. Wait 6 seconds.
b) Your estimated heart rate range will be displayed on screen. Check the chart
above to see if you are within your range according to your age.
Remember that training heart rate ranges are predictions and based on averages.
Regardless of your estimated heart rate readout, you should slow down if you are
breathless and cannot carry on a short conversation.
Age adjusted heart rate (beats per minute).
Caring for your Gazelle Power Plus
Your unit has been carefully designed to require minimum maintenance for a
lifetime of use. To ensure this, we recommend that you do the following:
• Keep your unit clean by wiping sweat, dust or other residue
off with a soft, clean cloth after each use.
• Wipe your handle grips down with a soft, damp cloth frequently
to prevent accumulation of sweat and dirt.
• If squeaks or other noises develop over time, we recommend lubricating all
moving parts as follows:
a) Apply clear household grease (i.e. petroleum jelly) to axle tube.
b) Spray cable holders (top & bottom) with WD40 or equivalent.
• Check to be sure that the screws on the bottom of the platforms are tight.
Storing your Gazelle Power Plus
Lift up the handles that are located on the left and right side of your unit. Lift up
on the handles and roll your unit out of the way. Store your unit away from
high traffic areas.
