GENERAL HEART RATE TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS

To use the Heart Rate Training Program, it is important to determine your

Target Heart Rate, using the chart below. After determining your Target,

you should use the treadmill in MANUAL mode to see if the Target you

have selected is correct. This will give you a good base to start your Heart

Rate Training. If you feel your Target is too low or too high, keep using the

treadmill in the MANUAL mode until you feel comfortable during your

workout; then you can begin using the Heart Rate Training Program.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

To reap the most cardiovascular benefits from your workout, it is necessary

to exercise within a recommended intensity. The three ways to monitor

exercise intensity are Target Heart Rate, Perceived Exertion, and the Talk Test.

TARGET HEART RATE

Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your Maximum Heart Rate. A

common method of estimating your Maximum Heart Rate is to subtract

your age from 220. Target Heart Rate will vary for each individual,

depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness

goals. Exercise heart rate should range from 50 - 90% of the predicted

maximum heart rate for most healthy adults. A guideline for Target Heart

Rate follows:

50 - 60% of Max. HR: Beginning Exercisers or Health Concerns

60 - 75% of Max. HR: General Fitness or Weight Loss

75 - 90% of Max. HR: Improve Aerobic Capacity or Athletic Performance
