Heart Rate Zone Trainer Program
This is a great beginner heart rate program. The
Heart Rate Zone Trainer is a traditional “constant
heart rate” program that allows you to exercise at a
selected target heart rate by automatically adjusting
the intensity level (resistance) during the workout.
The default target heart rate is equal to 70% of your
maximum heart rate which is calculated by the
following equation: 220 – (Age) X 70%. To choose
a different target heart rate at any time during the
workout, use the UP and DOWN LEVEL keys to enter
the new target heart rate, then press the ENTER Key.
To use the Heart Rate Zone Trainer Program:
1. Put the chest strap on. Remember to wet the
electrodes underneath the chest strap. The
console must detect a heart rate signal before
it will allow you to select the Heart Rate Zone
Trainer Program.

selection menu. Use the UP/DOWN LEVEL
Keys to advance to the HEART RATE ZONE
TRAINER Program.

PROGRAMMING YOUR WORKOUTS
An Example of Calculating Maximum Heart Rate:
User is
40 years
of age
220 – 40 = 180
(180 beats per minute would be the
approximate maximum heart rate for
a 40 year old user)
180 x 70% = 126
(126 beats per minute would be the heart
rate of a 40 year old user working out at
70% of their maximum heart rate.)
