Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a
workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind heart rate zone training approach to exercise.
Zone training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fit-
ness. The values within the zone depend on the workout.
NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout pro-
gram.
The treadmill’s HEART RATE CONTROL workout is designed to take full advantage of the benefits of heart rate
zone training exercise . For detailed information about this workout, see Section 4, titled The Workouts .
During this workout, wear the telemetry heart rate chest strap to enable the treadmill’s on-board computer to monitor the
heart rate. The computer automatically adjusts the speed and elevation level to maintain the target heart rate* based on
the actual heart rate.
For all other workouts, wearing the telemetry chest strap is optional for heart rate monitoring.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) zone is between 60 percent and 75 percent of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR zone is
beween 108 and 135: (220-20)*.60=108; (220-20)*.75=135.
