The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the
heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart below represent the
Maximum Heart Rate for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training
heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that
cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of
the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training
at 80% or 60%, respectively, of your Maximum Heart Rate on a schedule approved by your
physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.
With all Spirit Heart Rate Control bike machines you may use the heart rate monitor feature
without using the Heart Rate Control program. This function can be used during manual mode or
during any of the nine different programs. The Heart Rate Control program automatically controls
resistance at the pedals.
