TARGET HEART RATE ZONE
Your Target Heart Rate 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.

played on the console for 30
seconds before it will reset.
Monitoring Your Heart Rate
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 read-
out on the console. You may experience an erratic readout if
consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars.
PULSE

Used to monitor your heart

made with both grips).
