Know Your Heart Rate
To determine your recommended heart rate level and help select the correct type of exercise program you wish to follow,
see the graphic below. An approximate of your maximum heart rate (MHR) is calculated as follows: MHR = 220 –Age.
For the T240S-T240P-T240C-T300-T500
►Fat Burning Zone = 60-69%
►Healthy Heart Zone = 70-79%
►Aerobic Zone = 80%-89%
For the T460XC
The T460XC has redefined the heart rate zone chart and programming to match the latest research.
►Warm up Zone = 50-59%
►Fat Burning Zone = 60-69%
►Aerobic Zone = 70-79%
►Anaerobic Zone = 80%-89%
►VO2Max Zone = 90%-100%
