TARGET ZONE HEART RATE CHART

Your Target Zone is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Zone will vary for each indi- vidual, depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals. The American Heart Association recommends working-out at a Target Heart Rate Zone of between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate. See the chart below for convenient reference.

EXAMPLE: for a 42-year old user: find AGE along the bottom of the chart (round to 40), follow AGE

column up to the TARGET ZONE BAR. RESULTS: 60% of maximum Hear Rate = 108 Beats Per Minute, 75% of maximum Heart Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.

HEART RATE HANDLEBARS

Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. When griping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. It is recommended that you hold the grip pulse handlebars only long enough to see your heart rate readout on the console. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars.

TELEMETRIC CHEST TRANSMITTER

Prior to wearing the chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the Horizon Fitness logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout. WARNING! The heart rate function is not a med- ical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate read- ing is intended only as an exercise aid. NOTE: Elite 5.0T MODEL ONLY.
