of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the recommended for burning fat while 80% is
recommended for strengthening the cardio vascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to stay in for
maximum benet.
For someone who is 40 years old their
target heart rate zone is calculated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute (80% of maximum)
So for a 40 year old the training zone would
be 108 to 144 beats per minute.
If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically.
Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide
upon which goal you would like to pursue.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular tness (training for the heart
and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR for a person
whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular
tness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A
denition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular
tness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%, respectively, of your MHR
on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise
program.
