Heart Rate Calculation for Training:
To determine your maximum heart rate, use the following formula: 220 - age = maximum heart rate. This value is the basis for calculating personalized training zones based on heart rate.
Training Zones Based on Heart Rate:
- Wellness and Health (50-60% of max HR): Ideal for beginners, overweight individuals, or those returning to physical activity. Calorie consumption: approx. 4-6 kcal/min. Energy split: 70% fat, 25% carbohydrates, 5% protein.
- Fat Burning (60-70% of max HR): Recommended for athletes and those aiming for weight loss. Calorie consumption: approx. 6-10 kcal/min. Energy split: 85% fat, 10% carbohydrates, 5% protein.
- Fitness and Conditioning (70-80% of max HR): Ideal for developing endurance and improving general fitness. Calorie consumption: approx. 10-12 kcal/min. Energy split: 35% fat, 60% carbohydrates, 5% protein.
Recommended Average Values for Training Zones:
Training Objective | % of Max HR |
---|---|
Wellness and Health | 55% |
Fat Burning | 65% |
Fitness and Conditioning | 75% |
Heart Rate Reference Table: Use the table below to estimate your heart rate zones based on age and training intensity. Example (30 years old): 100% → 190 bpm, 75% → 143 bpm, 65% → 124 bpm, 55% → 105 bpm. This table helps you train safely and effectively within your desired target zone.
Important Warning: Pulse and Heart Rate Monitoring:
ATTENTION: Heart rate monitoring systems may not always be accurate. Excessive physical activity can cause injuries or potentially life-threatening conditions. If you feel unwell during training, stop immediately. All users must be aware of and follow these precautions without exception.
Using Hand Sensors for Pulse Monitoring: Most fitness equipment features integrated hand sensors, usually located on the handlebars or console. These sensors are designed for short-term monitoring and require both hands to be placed on the sensors simultaneously. Pulse is detected based on skin's electrical resistance. Note: Pulse values may vary due to changes in skin resistance and may not always reflect actual heart rate. Calloused or dry skin, or incorrect hand positioning, can cause inaccurate or unstable readings. For more reliable and continuous monitoring, especially if signal quality is poor, using a chest strap (sold separately) is recommended. Our devices often have a receiver compatible with wireless chest straps (e.g., non-coded POLAR® straps). These straps offer accurate ECG-style monitoring, as the sensor detects data directly from the chest and transmits it wirelessly to the device. We strongly recommend using a chest strap for all heart rate-controlled programs. ATTENTION: The chest strap is intended solely as a training aid and not for diagnostic or medical purposes. Consult your doctor before starting a new training program, especially if you: have been physically inactive for a long period, are over 35 years old, have low blood pressure, have known cardiovascular conditions, or use a pacemaker or similar medical device (in these cases, consulting a doctor before using the chest strap is mandatory).
Care, Cleaning, and Maintenance
Cleaning: Clean the training device after each session using only a slightly damp cloth. Do not use gasoline, thinner, or other aggressive cleaning agents, as they may damage the surface. The device is suitable for private, indoor use only. Keep the device clean and dry. Damage caused by sweat or other liquids is not covered by the warranty.
Maintenance: Regularly check screws and moving parts. The device must only be used for training if it is in optimal working condition. For repairs or replacement parts, contact customer service. WARNING: The device must not be used until it has been successfully repaired.
Workout Information
Workout Preparation: Before starting training, ensure both the equipment and your body are in good condition. If you have not engaged in strength or endurance training for a long period, consult your family doctor and undergo a fitness check. Discuss your training goals with your doctor, especially if you are over 35, overweight, or have cardiovascular problems.
Workout Planning: Effective, targeted, and motivating training requires good planning. Integrate training into your daily routine. Unplanned training may be easily interrupted or postponed. Plan training sessions long-term (months), not just day-to-day or week-to-week. Incorporate motivation strategies during workouts, such as listening to music. Set realistic goals, such as losing 1 kg in four weeks or increasing training weight by 10 kg in six weeks, and reward yourself upon achieving these goals.
Training Frequency: Experts recommend 3 or 4 days of endurance/strength training per week. The more frequently you train, the faster you will achieve your goals. However, it is important to allow sufficient rest between sessions for the body to recover and regenerate. Take at least one rest day after each training session.
Hydration: Adequate fluid intake is crucial before and during training. During a 60-minute session, you can lose up to 0.5 liters of fluid. To compensate, drink a mixture of apple juice and mineral water (one-third apple juice, two-thirds mineral water) to replenish lost electrolytes and minerals. Drink about 330 ml 30 minutes before starting the session and maintain balanced hydration during training.
Warm-up: Warm up your body for 5-7 minutes at low intensity using a jump rope, cross-trainer, or similar equipment. This prepares your body for the upcoming workout.
Cool-down: Do not stop training abruptly. Gradually reduce intensity for 5-7 minutes on a stationary bike, cross-trainer, or similar equipment, then stretch your muscles thoroughly.
Warm-up/Stretching Exercises
Thighs: Lean with your right hand against a wall or the exercise equipment. Lift your left foot backward and hold it with your left hand, keeping your knee pointing down. Pull your thigh back until you feel a slight stretch in the muscle. Hold the position for 15-20 seconds, then slowly release your foot and lower your leg. Repeat with the right leg.
Legs and Lower Back: Sit on the floor with your legs extended. Try to grasp the tops of your feet with both hands, extending your arms and slightly inclining your torso forward. Hold the position for 15-20 seconds, then slowly straighten your torso.
Triceps and Shoulders: Bring your left hand behind your head to your right shoulder. Pull your left elbow with your right hand until you feel a slight stretch. Hold the position for 15-20 seconds, then repeat with your right hand.
Upper Body: Extend your left arm across your body at shoulder height to the right. Pull your upper left arm with your right hand until you feel a slight stretch. Hold the position for 15-20 seconds, then repeat with your right hand.
