HEART RATE TRAINING
The first step in knowing the right intensity for your training is to find out your maximum
heart rate (max HR= 220-your age). The age-based method provides an average
statistical prediction of your max HR and is a good method for the majority of people,
especially those new to heart rate training. The most precise and accurate way of
determine your individual max HR is to have it clinically tested by a cardiologist or
exercise physiologist through the use of a maximal stress test. If you are over the age of
40, overweight, have been sedentary for several years, or have a history of heart disease
in your family, clinical testing is recommended. This chart gives examples of the heart
rate for a 30 years old exercising at 5 different heart rate zones. For example, a
30-year-old s max HR is 220-30=190 bpm and 90% max HR is 190*0.9=171 bpm.
% THR: Benefits weight loss by maintaining an optimum exercise level to burn fat, while
adjusting the resistance to keep you in your target heart rate zone. First set up your
personal data (your machine will automatically calculate your maximum workout heart
rate) and select the percentage you wish to workout base on your maximum hear rate.
Note: The heart rate program is based on your heart rate target. Resistance will change
automatically according to your pedaling speed and make sure you keep your workout in
your target heart rate. Please do not pedal too slow or too fast. If you are out of target
zone, LCD will show arrow sigh beside RPM column to tell you to adjust your speed.
Upper arrow is for speeding up your RPM and arrow down is for slowing down your
workout.
CUSTOM: Customized workout, time defaults to 30 minutes.
I. First enter the program setting and profile display will guide you through all the
workout column.
II. Use upper and lower arrow to change the resistance and press enter to confirm.
Console will display your current segment number and guide you through segment
1 to segment 20.
III. After finish all setting press START to begin.
