Target Heart Rate
●
The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of
exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart
rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their choice of
exercise intensity is either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by
maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
●
To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your
Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 - User’s
Age = Maximum Heart Rate. If you
enter your age during programming of
the console the console will perform
this calculation automatically. This is
used for the HR control programs.
After calculating your Maximum Heart
Rate, you can decide upon which goal
you would like to pursue. The two most
popular reasons for, or goals of
exercise, are cardiovascular fitness
(training for the heart and lungs) and
weight control. The black columns on
the chart above represent the
Maximum Heart Rate for a person
whose age is listed at the bottom of
each column. The heart rate training
zone for either cardiovascular fitness
or weight loss are represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart
shown above. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your
goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 90% or
70%, respectively, of your Maximum Heart Rate on a schedule approved by your physician.
Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.
With all Spirit Heart Rate Control treadmills, you may use the heart rate monitor feature without
using the Heart Rate Control program. This function can be used during manual mode or
during any of the nine different programs. The Heart Rate Control program automatically
controls incline.
CAUTION!
The target value used in H-1 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy
individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your
chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower target
goal.
