NOTE Once you have set your exercise profile your lower
and upper heart rate limit will be set automatically. However,
you can manually change your upper and lower heart rate
limit if the automatic setting does not suit you. If you change
the target activity level, your upper / lower and maximum
heart rate will automatically be updated.
TARGET ACTIVITY
There are 3 target activity levels:
TARGET ACTIVITY MHR% DESCRIPTION
0 Health
Maintenance 65-78% This is the lowest
training intensity
level. It is good
for beginners and
those who want to
strengthen their
cardiovascular
systems.
1 Aerobic
Exercise 65-85% Increases strength
and endurance. It
works within the
body’s oxygen
intake capability,
burns more
calories, and can be
maintained for a long
period of time.
2 Anaerobic
Exercise 78-90% Generates speed
and power. It works
at or above the
body’s oxygen intake
capability, builds
muscle,and cannot be
maintained for a long
period of time.
MAXIMUM / LOWER / UPPER HEART RATE LIMIT
Before you begin any exercise program and to achieve
maximum health benefits from your workout, it is important
to know your:
• Maximum heart rate (MHR)
• Lower heart rate limit
• Upper heart rate limit
To manually calculate your own heart rate limits, follow the
instructions below:
MHR LOWER LIMIT UPPER LIMIT
MHR =
220 - age MHR x lower target
activity %.
E.g. Target activity is
0. Lower Limit = MHR
x 65% MHR x upper target
activity %. E.g.
Target activity is 0.
Upper Limit = MHR
x 78%
HEART RATE ALERT
You can set the heart rate alert in the exercise profile to the
following settings:
