Heart rate training notes
Research has shown that exercise and fitness are beneficial to a person’s health. The Surgeon
General released a report on physical activity and stated exercise as key component for disease
prevention and healthier living. Your heart rate level can help you gauge the intensity of your
exercise. The Gymstick console has a wireless heart rate receiver that can detect a signal being
transmitted from a wireless chest strap.
Wireless Heart Rate Receiver
Generally, a wireless heart rate chest strap (not included) will provide the most accurate and
easiest way to monitor a heart rate. Certain Wi-Fi networks and cordless telephones may disrupt
the signal from a chest strap which will show erratic signal results on the console. If this occurs,
please move the bike away from potential disturbances. In order for the console to detect and show
your heart rate wirelessly, the following four conditions must be met:
1.
A compatible heart rate chest strap must be functional and worn correctly
2.
Console must be on
3.
A workout program must be running
4.
Chest strap is worn within 3 feet of the console
Maximum Heart Rate and Target Training Zone
Target heart rate is determined based on your age. If the exercise intensity, based on your heart
rate, is too high, injuries or fatigue may occur and counteract your fitness goals. If the exercise
intensity is too low, you are likely not maximizing your workout. It is generally reported that
individuals should target between 65% and 80% of your maximum heart rate to be most effective.
Maximum heart rate is determined by subtracting your age from 220 BPM.
To calculate your maximum heart rate and determine the most effective target heart rate zone, the
following formula is used for a 32 year old:
• 220-32 = 188 BPM (220 BPM less age = calculated maximum heart rate)
• 0.65 x 188 = 122 BPM (65% of calculated maximum heart rate)
• 0.80 x 188 = 150 BPM (80% of calculated maximum heart rate)
For a 32 year old, the target heart rate zone would be between 122 BPM and 150 BPM.
