3.4 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 Efcient 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 tter 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 benets 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 deection (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
bers and help you to improve your speed. You need to be quite t 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.
