TARGET HEART RATE

The first step in knowing the right intensity for your training is to find out your maximum heart rate (max HR = 220 – your age). The age-based method provides an average statistical prediction of your max HR and is a good method for the majority of people, especially those new to heart rate training. The most precise and accurate way of determining your individual max HR is to have it clinically tested by a cardiologist or exercise physiologist through the use of a maximal stress test. If you are over the age of 40, overweight, have been sedentary for several years, or have a history of heart disease in your family, clinical testing is recommended.

This chart gives examples of the heart

rate range for a 30 year old exercising at 5 different heart rate zones. For example, a 30-year-old's max HR is 220 - 30 = 190 bpm and 90% max HR is 190 × 0.9 = 171 bpm.

TARGET HEART RATE NOTES:

• Warm-up and cool-down each last 4 minutes.
  • After 4 minutes, the resistance will automatically adjust to bring you near your specified heart rate.
• If there is no heart rate detected, the unit will not change the resistance.
  • If your heart rate is 25 beats over your target zone, the program will decrease resistance to 0.

Target Heart Rate Zone	Workout Duration	Example THR Zone (age 30)	Your THR Zone	Recommended For
VERY HARD50 - 100%	<5 cm	171	169 cm	For persons and for athletic training
HARD80- 50%	2 - 10 cm	162	171 cm	Screeter workouts
MODERATE70- 20%	10-40 cm	133	152 cm	Moderately long workouts
LIGHT60 - 70%	40- 90 cm	114	133 cm	Longer and frequently repeated in the exercise level
VERY LIGHT50 - 60%	20-40 cm	104	114 cm	Weight management and active recovery
