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.

NOTES:
• Target heart rate is selected in multiples of 5 beats.
• The large LED dot matrix window displays your heart rate
during exercise. The middle row represents your target heart
rate (THR) and the other rows equal +/-2 heart beats. If you
are working out beneath your THR, the LEDs below the middle
row will illuminate. If you are over, the LEDs above the middle
row will illuminate. Your current heart rate is represented by the
flashing column and the window will refresh every 5 seconds.
• There is a 4-minute warm-up built into this program at
level 1 incline.
• After 4 minutes, the incline 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
incline levels up or down.
• If your heart rate is 25 beats over your target zone the
program will shut down.
