HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate:
ts of
exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate
of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by
t range.
rst determine your
Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your
age. This will give you the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)for someone of your age. To determine
c goals you simply calculate a percentage your MHR.
Your Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is
the zone that burns fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardio vascular system. This 60% to
t.
For someone who is 40 years old their
target heart rate zone is calculated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
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. After calculating
your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue.

for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either

60%, respectively, of your MHR on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your
physician before participating in any exercise program.
