†

Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to

220 minus an individual’s age.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). For example, a 40-year-old user's rec-

ommended THR for the EXTREME HEART RATE

WORKOUT is 153. The workout program targets a standard 85 per-

cent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.85 = 153.

EXTREME HEART RATE

(93R ONLY)

This intense, varied workout is designed to help more experienced users to break through fitness

improvement plateaus. The workout alternates between two target heart rates* as quickly as possi-

ble. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. The user must wear a chest strap or grip the

Lifepulse

sensors throughout the workout.

When setting up the workout, the user enters a target heart rate. After a standard three-minute

warm-up, the intensity increases, until the user reaches the target heart rate goal of 85 percent of

the theoretical maximum

†

(HRmax). That target rate is maintained for a stabilizing period. Then,

the intensity decreases. When the heart rate falls to the 65 percent of HRmax goal, it is main-

tained there for a stabilizing period. The program repeats the alternating of intensity levels, con-

tinuing this pattern throughout the duration. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate

goal until the user reaches the current goal.
