• Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.

• Theproximityofotherelectronicmachinescangenerateinterference.

If your heart rate signal ever seems erratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors and try again.

Heart Rate Calculations

Yourmaximumheartrateusuallydecreasesfrom220BeatsPerMinute(BPM)inchildhoodtoapproximately160BPMby

age60.Thisfallinheartrateisusuallylinear,decreasingbyapproximatelyoneBPMforeachyear.Thereisnoindication

thattraininginuencesthedecreaseinmaximumheartrate.Individualsofthesameagecouldhavedifferentmaximum

heartrates.Itismoreaccuratetondthisvaluebycompletingastresstestthanbyusinganagerelatedformula.

Yourat-restheartrateisinuencedbyendurancetraining.Thetypicaladulthasanatrestheartrateofapproximately72

BPM, whereas highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.

The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovas-

cular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is

shown.

Themostefcientproceduretoburnfatduringexerciseistostartataslowpaceandgraduallyincreaseyourintensity

untilyourheartratereachesbetween60–85%ofyourmaximumheartrate.Continueatthatpace,keepingyourheart

rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will

burn.

The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your

optimal target rate may be higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.

Note:Aswithallexercisesandtnessregimens,alwaysuseyourbestjudgmentwhenyouincreaseyourexercisetime

or intensity.
