GENERAL HEART RATE TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS
To use the Heart Rate Training Program, it is important to determine your
Target Heart Rate, using the chart below. After determining your Target,
you should use the treadmill in MANUAL mode to see if the Target you
have selected is correct. This will give you a good base to start your Heart
Rate Training. If you feel your Target 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
exercise 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.
