: A workout designed to keep you in your specified target heart rate zone. 

This workout requires you to wear a wireless heart rate strap. See below for calculating your target heart rate.

TARGeT HeART RATe

: Program adjusts resistance to bring you to your target heart rate.

HR %

: Program adjusts resistance to bring you to your desired % maximum 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.
