heart rate training
To get the most out of your new equipment and see the best results from your training you should exercise at the right level
of effort, and that means listening to your heart! Working out to a target heart rate means you can direct your workout to
achieve different goals:
gooD health - For those wishing to improve quality of life and general well being. Your session will need to be done at
an intensity of between 50 - 60% of your estimated maximum heart rate, should last about 30 minutes and can be done on
most days of the week.
weight loss - To see a significant reduction in body fat, your sessions must be a little more intense - between 60 and
70% of your estimated maximum heart rate. These sessions can also be performed on most days of the week for up to 30
minutes.
imProVing fitness leVels - These sessions should be performed at 70- 80% of your estimated maximum heart rate
and can also involve bouts of interval training that would have your heart rate peaking for short times near your maximum
heart rate level. These are intense sessions and will require at least a 48 hours rest between sessions.
calculating Your target heart rate
First, you need to find your estimated maximum heart rate using the formula “220 minus your age in years”. If you are 35
years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is: 220 - 35 = 185 beats per minute (bpm)
Next, to calculate your target heart rate, simply multiply your estimated maximum heart rate (185 bpm) by the applicable
percentage. So, if your goal is better heart: 185 x 60% = 111bpm
TIP: Heart rate training requires you to monitor your heart rate throughout the workout. For this we recommend using a
chest strap (If your machine has a wireless receiver) or a heart rate monitor.

*For cardiorespiratory training benefits, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends working out within a heart
rate range of 55% to 90% of maximum heart rate. To predict the maximum heart rate, the following formula was used:
