Target Heart Rate

￿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. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their choice of exercise intensity is either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.

￿To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your

The

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 heart rate training zone for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss is represented by two different lines, which 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 90% or 70%, respectively, of your Maximum Heart Rate on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.

With all Spirit 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 nine different programs. The Heart Rate Control program automatically controls incline.

CAUTION!

The target value used in H-1 and H-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower target goal.
