Target Heart Rate - AFG PRO 7.2 AT Manuel Du Propriétaire

3) TARGET HEART RATE: This program is designed for you to improve your overall cardiovascular fitness levels. You simply set your
target heart rate. The program will then monitor and adjust the intensity level to maintain your heart rate within your targeted range
while you exercise – a proven method to maximize your weight loss and fitness goals. A chest strap is required and must be worn
during the duration of this program. See below for calculating your target heart rate.
Calculating Your Target Heart Rate
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 determining 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 range for a 30 year 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.
Additional target heart rate notes:
1). The treadmill incline will automatically adjust to bring
you near your specified heart rate.
2). If there is no heart rate detected, the unit will not
change the incline.
3). If your heart rate is 25 beats over your target zone
the program will shut down.
