1.2. Heart Rate Monitoring
This section provides basic concepts of heart rate monitoring
so you can better understand how to use it to reach the fitness
level you desire.
1.2.1. What is exercise intensity?
Exercise intensity is simply a measure of how hard you are
working at a given time during exercise. The ACSM, the world’s
leading medical and scientific authority on sports medicine and
fitness, recommends that every individual involved in an
exercise program know how hard his/her body is working
during exercise.
Bottle Holder Holds bottles/cups.
Pulse Grips (2) Detects pulse when hands are placed on the grips,
allowing treadmill to calculate and display heart rate.
Lower Control Panel Controls
The lower control panel is located between the pulse grips. This area
provides easy-to-reach controls for stopping, pausing or changing speed or
incline during your workout.
Speed Adjustment Increases/decreases treadbelt speed when pressed
up/down. Performs the same function as the SPEED
(+/–) keys on the control panel.
STOP Button Press STOP once to pause the treadmill or twice to
turn it off. Statistical information is cleared when

Your heart provides key information for determining how
intensely you are working during exercise. Your heart rate (how
many times your heart beats per minute) is really an efficiency
rating for your entire body. The number of times your heart
beats during each minute of exercise is a measurement of the
intensity of the exercise. If your heart rate is low, exercise
intensity is low; if your heart rate is high, your exercise intensity
is high.
1.2.2. What is maximum heart rate?
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is the maximum attainable heart
rate your body can reach before total exhaustion. True
maximum heart rate is measured during a fatigue or “stress”
test. This test must be done in a clinical setting and is not
practical or accessible for most people.
Your maximum heart rate can be established with a high
degree of accuracy using the following simple formula:
Estimated Maximum Heart Rate = 220 minus your age.
If John is 35 years old, what is his estimated maximum heart
rate?
John’s estimated maximum heart rate is: 220 - 35 = 185
185 beats per minute is the estimated maximum number of
times John’s heart can beat before his body would fatigue or
“max out.” This number is extremely helpful because it
indicates the absolute highest exercise intensity John can
handle before his body wears out. The ACSM says that during
exercise, John should keep his heart rate below his maximum
so that he will not become exhausted and have to quit. In fact,
the ACSM gives John a specific percentage range of his
maximum heart rate to exercise in, known as his Target Heart
Rate Zone.(THRZ).
WARNING The use of this formula assumes no
underlying heart or respiratory disease or
other condition, which could be adversely
affected by exercise. Consult your doctor
before using this chart!

Introduction
17
1.2.3. Why should I monitor exercise intensity?
Your heart is the most important muscle in your body and, like
all muscles, must be exercised regularly to remain strong and
efficient. According to fitness experts, exercise is more effective
when you work out in a specific heart rate range or zone. This
is referred to as your Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ) and is
reflected by the number of heart beats per minute. This zone
can vary greatly depending on your age, fitness level and
various other factors. If your heart rate is too low during
exercise, your body reaps little or no benefit. This means you’re
not likely to see the results you want, like weight loss or
increased endurance. If your heart rate is too high during
exercise, you may tire too quickly, become fatigued or even run
the risk of injury.
Monitoring exercise intensity helps you to stay at a level of
exercise that allows you to accomplish your goals. In fact, the
ACSM recommends that, in order to get the most benefit from
your cardiovascular exercise, you should work within your
THRZ for at least 20 to 60 minutes per workout, 3 to 5 times per
week. Knowing your exercise intensity (THRZ) will allow you to
work at the right level of exercise to accomplish this.
1.2.4. How do I determine my Target Heart Rate Zone?
Your THRZ represents the minimum and maximum number of
times your heart should beat in one minute of exercise. The
ACSM recommends that all individuals should work within a
Target Heart Rate Zone of 60% to 85% of Maximum Heart
Rate. This means that your heart rate during exercise should
not fall below 60% or rise above 85% of your maximum heart
rate. Let’s look at John from our earlier example. John is 35
years old, so his estimated maximum heart rate is 220 minus
35, or 185 beats per minute (bpm). The ACSM
recommendation is that John should exercise between 60%
and 85% of 185 beats per minute to stay in his THRZ. Let’s
determine John’s THRZ:
• John’s estimated maximum heart rate: 185 bpm
• Lower target limit: 185 (MHR) X 0.6 111 bpm
• Upper target limit: 185 (MHR) X 0.85 157 bpm
• John’s target heart rate zone: 111-157 bpm

Introduction
18
111-157 beats per minute is the range or zone for John’s heart
rate during exercise in order to achieve his goals. If John is a
beginning exerciser, he’ll want to stay at the low end of his
THRZ. If John is a more advanced exerciser, he may want to
work at the higher end of his THRZ to challenge himself more.
The following list shows the different intensity levels within a
target heart rate zone:
• Beginner: 60% of MHR
• Weight Loss: 75% of MHR
• Aerobic: 85% of MHR
1.3. Heart Rate Monitors
Heart rate monitors are built into the treadmill’s pulse grips, and
a wireless chest strap monitor is also available on residential
models.
Exercising too hard can put you at a risk for injury. A heart rate
monitor reminds you of the safe and effective heart rate
intensity at which you should exercise and warns you if your
workouts go too far.
If you want to reach your exercise goals, it’s important to stay in
your THRZ during workouts. A heart rate monitor provides a
reminder of the intensity and quality of each workout session.
Landice heart rate monitors are used to monitor your level of
exercise intensity during workouts. Pulse meters have a high
margin for error. Manual pulse measurements during exercise
can result in errors as high as ±15 beats per minute, with the
risk of potential error increasing as heart rate increases.
1.3.1. Wireless Chest Strap Monitoring System
Note: The wireless chest strap is only available on residential
treadmill models.
The Wireless Chest Strap transmitter works best against bare
skin because sweat (salt water) is an electrical conductor. If
you are having trouble getting an accurate pulse reading, try
moistening the electrodes on the chest transmitter with water.

Introduction
19
Figure 1-2. Wireless Chest Strap Transmitter
Center the transmitter on the chest as high under the pectoral
muscles (breasts) as possible. Tighten the strap so that the belt
is as tight as possible without being uncomfortable.
1.3.2. Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System
The Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System is designed for use
at walking speeds. A natural running motion involves using
your arms to maintain balance. Because the Contact Heart
Rate Monitoring System requires your arms to remain
stationary, we recommend using the pulse grips at speeds of
less than approximately 4 mph (6.4 km/h) or the fastest speed
at which you are comfortable walking.
The Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System can be used in
place of the wireless chest strap to perform any of the following
functions:
• Monitor your Time in Zone
• Heart Rate Control (HRC) program adjustment
• Help you maintain your Target Pulse
To use the Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System:
1. Switch to any screen that shows Pulse.
2. Grab the pulse grip portion of the center rail. When you
place your hands on the grips the display flashes. The
pulse will “beat” briefly and then display your heart rate.
Your heart rate will be continuously monitored while your
hands remain on the grips.
The HRC programs make speed and elevation adjustments to
maintain your target heart rate while your hands remain on the
grips. If you remove your hands the HRC programs will not

Introduction
20
change speed or elevation until you place your hands on the
grips. These programs are available on the Landice Achieve
model.
Note: If you are wearing the wireless chest strap, the heart rate
from the pulse grips overrides the wireless signal from the
chest strap while your hands are on the pulse grips. When
you release the grips, the treadmill uses the wireless chest
strap signal for pulse calculation.
1.4. Treadmill Program Capabilities
The treadmills have the following program capabilities:
•Built-in Programs: You enter the program’s maximum time,
speed and incline.
