have different maximum heart rates. It is more accurate to find this value by getting a stress test than by using an age related formula.
Your at rest heart rate is influenced by endurance training. The typical adult has an at rest heart rate of approximately 72 BPM, where as highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.
The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and better your cardiovascular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is shown.
The most efficient procedure to burn fat during exercise is to start at a slow pace and gradually increase your intensity until your heart rate reaches between 60 – 85% of your maximum heart rate. Continue at that pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.
The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your optimal target rate may be higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.
Note: As with all exercises and fitness regimens, always use your best judgment when you increase your exercise time or intensity.

Optional Power Adapter
The console for your machine can operate on battery power or AC power. For AC power, it is necessary to order the optional Power Adapter. If batteries and the Power Adapter are installed, the console will use the Power Adapter to operate.
Note: If you use rechargeable batteries, the optional Power Adapter will not recharge the batteries.
After the machine is fully assembled, connect the Power Adaptor to the console and the wall outlet.
NOTICE: If you use a power adapter for your bike, make sure that the cord stays clear of the path of the pedals. Attach the cord to the machine as shown:
