TARGET ZONE HEART RATE CHART
Your Target Zone is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Zone will vary for
each individual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness
goals. The American Heart Association recommends working-out at a Target Heart Rate
Zone of between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate. See the chart below for
convenient reference.
EXAMPLE: for a 42-year old user: find AGE along the bottom of the chart (round to 40),
follow AGE column up to the TARGET ZONE BAR. RESULTS: 60% of maximum Hear Rate
= 108 Beats Per Minute, 75% of maximum Heart Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.
HEART RATE HANDLEBARS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip
the bars for your heart rate to register. When griping the pulse handlebars, do not grip
tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping
hold. It is recommended that you hold the grip pulse handlebars only long enough to see
your heart rate readout on the console. You may experience an erratic readout if consis-
tently holding the grip pulse handlebars.
TELEMETRIC CHEST TRANSMITTER
Prior to wearing the chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes
with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over
your sternum, with the Horizon Fitness logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be
tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap
is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart
rate readout. WARNING! The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors
may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only
as an exercise aid.
