Target Heart Rate (HR models only)

The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. Many people find their exercise much more enjoyable and effective by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range through the use of Heart Rate Control.

black columns on the

chart above represent the Maximum Heart Rate for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 75% or 65%, respectively, of your Maximum Heart Rate on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physi- cian before participating in any exercise program.

With all Heart Rate Control treadmills, you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using the Heart Rate Control program. This function can be used during manual mode or during any of the eight different programs. The Heart Rate Control program automatically controls incline and overrides manual adjustment of incline grade.

Note: Refer to Heart Rate Control Operation for computer calculated target heart rate.
