7.3AE PROGRAM INFORMATION
6) 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
5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, the speed or incline will automatically adjust to bring you near your specified heart rate.
• The profile window shows your heart rate during exercise. The green line represents your target heart rate (THR) and the
red line represents your current heart rate. If you are working out beneath your THR, the treadmill will adjust speed or
incline accordingly to bring you near your target.
• If there is no heart rate detected, the unit will not change the speed or incline.
• If your heart rate is 25 beats over your target zone the program will shut down.

ENERGY SAVER (STANDBY MODE)
This machine has a special feature called Energy Saver™ mode. This mode is NOT automatically activated.
When Energy Saver mode is activated, the display will automatically enter standby mode (Energy Saver mode) after
15 minutes of inactivity. This feature saves energy by disabling most power to the machine until a key is pressed on
the console. This feature can be turned on or off in the engineering menu.
To enter the engineering menu, press and hold the both resistance Up and Down keys for 3-5 seconds. Use the up/
down keys to navigate through the menu to ENG2. Press ENTER to select. Use up/down keys to select ENRGY SVE
ON or OFF. Press and hold STOP for 3-5 seconds to exit ENG2. Press and hold STOP again for 3-5 seconds to exit
the engineering menu.
