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.

FINISHING A WORKOUT
When your workout is finished, the

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 regis-
ter. 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 consistently holding the grip pulse han-
dlebars.
