TARGET HEART RATE
Please seeTarget Heart Rate Zone Chart to determine your target
heart rate.This is especially important for people who are over 35
years old, have a preexisting health problem or have been sedentary for
some time. Do not overexert yourself.
BREATHTEST
While theTarget Heart Rate Zone Chart will help you exercise at the
proper intensity, the "breath test" helps you determine when you're
working too hard.Throughout your workout you should be able to carry
on a normal conversation without gasping for breath. If you start to
become short of breath, slow down.
NOTE:These heart rates are theoretical estimates based on scientific
research. Some individuals may have a maximum heart rate that is
very different from the estimate in this chart and it may be
dangerous to exercise at the suggested heart rates. If you have a
heart problem, or a family history of heart disease, or if
you are taking heart or high blood pressure medications,
it is essential that you obtain medical advice from your
physician with regard to your safe and recommended
exercise heart rate zone.

of theWalking Belt and pour
1/2 the bottle of lubricant under
the center of theWalking Belt
