180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of maximum)
So for a 40 year old the training zone would be 108 to 144 beats per minute.
If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically.
Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate 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 reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for
the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart below represent the
Maximum Heart Rate for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The
training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different
lines that 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 Spirit Heart Rate Control elliptical machines you may use the heart rate monitor feature
without using the Heart Rate Control program. This function can be used during manual mode
or during any of the nine different programs. The Heart Rate Control program automatically
controls resistance at the pedals.
