3.2 How To Effectively Workout At Your Own Level?
Smart Workrate system provides visual color feedback of skirting light. Skirting light at the Uni jog switch
enhances users to optimize their workout efforts for maximum result based on heart rate level. This system also
helps users to stay in their target heart rate zones. Smart workrate system will detect heart rate by holding on to
contact heart rate plates or by wearing a telemetry heart rate sensor chest strap. You are recommended to wear
telemetry heart rate chest strap for this function. During workout there are 4 different colors as following which
represent your workout intensity.
Green - The Energy Efficient or Recovery Zone - 55% to 65%
Training within this zone develops basic endurance and aerobic capacity. All easy recovery running should be
completed at a maximum of 65%. Another advantage to exercise in this zone is that while you are happily fat
burning you may lose weight and allow your muscles to re-energize with glycogen, which has been consumed
during those faster pace workouts.
Yellow - The Aerobic Zone - 65% to 75%
Training in this zone will improve your cardiovascular system. Your body is able to improve transport of oxygen
and carbon dioxide to and away from the working muscles. As you become fitter and stronger from training in
this zone, you may engage in some of your long weekend running at up to 75% aerobic training zone, so as to
get the benefits of fat burning and improvement of aerobic capacity.
Orange - The Anaerobic Zone - 75% to 85%
Training in this zone will develop your lactic acid system. In this zone, your individual anaerobic threshold (AT)
is found - sometimes referred to the point of deflection (POD). At these heart rates zone, the amount of fat being
utilized as the main source of energy is greatly reduced and glycogen stored in the muscle is predominantly used.
One of the by-products of burning this glycogen is lactic acid. There is a point at which the body can no longer
quickly remove the lactic acid from the working muscles. This is your anaerobic threshold (AT). Through the
correct training, it is possible to delay the AT by being able to increase your ability to deal with the lactic acid
for a longer period of time or by improving your AT level.
Red - The extreme Zone - 85% to 100%
Training in this zone will only be possible for a short period. It can effectively train your fast twitch muscle
fibers and help you to improve your speed. You need to be quite fit in order to train effectively within this zone.
NOTE
The heart rate monitoring system of Intenza 550 series elliptical trainer is intended only for use as an exercise
tool. Various factors can affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate readings of the Intenza
elliptical trainer should not be considered or used as a medical device.
