Heart Rate Zone
Heart Rate is described by the number of times your heart beats in a minute. At rest, the
average adult will have a heart rate of about 72 beats per minute (bpm). As one begins to
exercise, heart rate increases and continues to increase as exercise intensity or difficulty
increases.
Monitoring your heart rate is an effective way to control the intensity of your workout and
subsequently the results it will have. Whether you are a new participant or one with a great
deal of experience, weight loss and other performance goals can be achieved by controlling
the intensity of your workout.
The American College of Sports
Medicine recommends that healthy
adults exercise between 55 and 85%
of their heart rate max. Your heart rate
max can be estimated by subtracting
your age from 220. Multiply that
estimated heart rate max by .55 to
estimate the lower end of your heart
rate training zone. Then multiply your
estimated heart rate max by .85 to
estimate the higher end of your
training zone. This heart rate training
zone gives you a range of intensities at
which to exercise.
NOTE: A label is located on the
console to remind you what
the heart rate zone is while
you are working out.
See Figure 4.
Meaning of % Grade
A 1% grade is not the same as a 1 degree incline. The % grade is the relationship of the
measurement of rise over the measurement of run (also called slope). For example, a 1 foot
(meter) rise in height over a length of 100 feet (meters) is a 1% grade. Expressed as a
mathematical formula, the grade is calculated as follows:
1 ft. (m) / 100 ft. (m) = 0.01 = 1%
With respect to treadmills, the percent grade is roughly equal to the increase in height (rise) of
the treadmill divided by the length (run) of the treadmill.
