HEART RATE TRAINING
The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of
exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate
monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their choice of
exercise intensity is either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by
maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
To determine the benefit range in which you wish
to train, you must first determine your Maximum
Heart Rate, which is the highest your heart rate
should go to. This can be accomplished by using
the following formula:
220 - User’s Age = Maximum Heart Rate
180 x 0,6 = 108 beats per minute
(60 % of the max. value)
180 x 0,8 = 144 beats per minute
(80 % of the max. value)
(If you enter your age during programming of the
console the console will perform this calculation
automatically).
This is used for the HR control programs and also for the Heart rate bar graph. After calculating
your Maximum Heart Rate, you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue. The two
most popular goals of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and
weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the Maximum Heart Rate for a
person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The heart rate training zone for either
cardiovascular fitness or weight loss is represented by two different lines, which cut diagonally
through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your
goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%,
respectively, of your Maximum Heart Rate on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult
your physician before participating in any exercise program.
With all Heart Rate Control treadmills, you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using
the Heart Rate Control program. This function can be used during any of the different programs.
The Heart Rate Control program automatically controls incline.
CAUTION!
The target value used in HR programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy individuals. Do not
exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in question, enter a higher
age value that will set a lower target goal.
