sis over the age of 35 or Individuals with pre-
existing health problems.
The pulse sensor Is not • medical device.
Various factom, Indudlng your movement,
may affeot the accuracy of heart rate readings.

The following guidelineswill help you to plan your ex-
ercise program. Remember--these are general guide-
lines only. For more detailed exemlse information, ob-
tain a reputable book or consult your physic=an.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthenyour
cardiovascularsystem, the key to achievingthe
desired results is to exercise w_ththe proper intensity,
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning and aerobicexercise.
HEART RATE TRAINING ZONES
AEROBI_ 165 155 t45 140 130 I_2'5 115

FAT BURN 125 t20 115 110 105 95 90
Age 20 30 40 50 60 70 80
To find the proper heart rate for you, firstfind your age
near the bottom of the chart (ages are roundedoff to
the nearestten years). Next, findthe three numbers
above your age. The three numbersdefine your "train-
mg zone." The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burmng;the higher number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
To measure your heart rate duringexercise, use the
pulse sensor on the console. If your heart rate is too
highor too low, adjust the speed and Inclineof the
treadmill
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively
lowintensitylevel for a sustained periodof hme.
During the firstfew minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessiblecarbohydratecaloriesfor en-
ergy. Only after the firstfew minutesdoes your body
begin to use storedfat calories forenergy. If your goal
is to burn fat, adjustthe speed and recline of the tread-
mill unhlyour heart rate is near the lowest numberm
yourtrainingzone.
For maximumfat burning, adjust the speed and Inchne
of the treadmill unhlyour heart rate is near the middle
number in your trainingzone.

tem, your exercise must be =aerob=o."Aerob=cexercise
