Heart Rate Features

Heart rate and SmartRate

®

features are available when you wear the

chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive handlebar grips. When a
heartbeat is detected, the HEART RATE display shows your heart rate
and, if your age has been entered, the SmartRate LED pulses and
indicates your target zone.

Important Use and Safety Information

Read the following before using the heart rate or SmartRate features.

Consult your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise.
Do not use the heart rate programs until authorized by your
physician.

Know your heart rate and your physician-recommended heart rate
target zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several
physiological factors and may not correspond directly with
Diagram 1.

Always face forward on the AMT and use the stationary
handlebars for balance.

Maintain a consistent stride rate while exercising. Find a
comfortable stride rate above 56 strides per minute. Dropping
below the minimum strides per minute causes the AMT to shut
down.

Diagram 1: Heart rate target zones

The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is:
(220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent.

For example:

Low range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 55%
High range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 85%

Refer to Table 1 in Using SmartRate.
