Your Target Heart Rate Zone is a percentage of your maximum heart
rate. Target Zone will vary for each individual, depending on age, current
level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. The American College
of Sports Medicine recommends working-out at a Target Heart Rate
Zone of between 60% of maximum heart rate. See the chart below for
convenient reference.
EXAMPLE:
For a 35-year old user: find AGE along the bottom of the chart, follow the
AGE column up to TARGET ZONE bar. RESULTS: 60% of maximum
Heart Rate = 111 Beats per Minute, 75% of maximum Heart Rate = 139
Beats per Minute. With this Target Zone of 111-139 Beats per Minute it is
best to enter an average Target Heart Rate of about 118 Beats per
Minute into the Console.
