GENERAL HEART RATE TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS
To use the Heart Rate Training Program, it is important to determine your
Target Heart Rate Zone, using the chart below. After determining your
Target Zone, you should use the treadmill in MANUAL mode to see if the
Target Zone you have selected is correct. This will give you a good base
to start your Heart Rate Training. If you feel your Target Zone is too low or
too high, keep using the treadmill in the MANUAL mode until you feel
comfortable during your workout; then you can begin using the Heart Rate
Training Program.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
To reap the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is necessary
to exercise within a recommended intensity. The two ways to monitor exer-
cise intensity are Target Heart Rate, and Perceived Exertion.
TARGET HEART RATE
Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target
Heart Rate will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level
of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. Exercise heart rate should
range from 55% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. As a point of
reference, we use the predicted maximum heart rate formula of
(220 minus age) to determine your heart rate training zone. Please use the
following chart to determine your predicted Target Heart Rate.
