Heart Rate Monitoring11The residential Pro Trainer Treadmill offers an optional Wireless Chest Strap heart rate transmitter which will give youfeedback on how your body is affected by your workout. We will take a look at a few basic concepts of heart rate monitoringso you can better understand how it all works and how to maximize its use to allow you to reach the fitness level you desire.Exercise intensity is simply a measure of how hard you are working, at a given time, during exercise. The American Collegeof Sports Medicine (ACSM), the world’s leading medical and scientific authority on sports medicine and fitness, recommendsthat every individual involved in an exercise program know how hard his/her body is working during exercise.Your heart provides key information for determining how intensely you are working during exercise. Your heart rate (howmany times your heart beats per minute) is really an efficiency rating for your entire body. The number of times your heartbeats during each minute of exercise is a measurement of the intensity of the exercise. If your heart rate is low, exerciseintensity is low; if your heart rate is high, your exercise intensity is high.Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is the maximum attainable heart rate your body can reach before total exhaustion. TrueMHR is measured during a fatigue or “stress” test. This test must be done in a clinical setting and is not practical oraccessible for most people. Fortunately, your maximum heart rate can be established with a high degree of accuracy usingthe following simple formula: Estimated Maximum Heart Rate = 220 minus your age.185 beats per minute is the estimated maximum number of times John’s heart can beat before his body would fatigue or“max out.” This number is extremely helpful because it indicates the absolute highest exercise intensity John can handlebefore his body wears out. The ACSM says that during exercise, John should keep his heart rate below his maximum sothat he will not become exhausted and have to quit. In fact, the ACSM gives John a specific percentage range of hismaximum heart rate to exercise in, known as his Target Heart Rate Zone.WARNING: The use of this formula assumes no underlying heart or respiratory disease orother condition, which could be adversely affected by exercise. Consult your doctor before using this chart!!!What is exercise intensity?What is maximum heart rate?If John is 35 years old, what is his estimated maximum heartrate?220-35John’s Estimated Maximum Heart Rate = 185
