TARGET HEART RATE
The first step in knowing the right intensity for your training is to find out your maximum heart rate (max HR = 211 – (0.64 × Age). The age-based method provides an average statistical prediction of your max HR and is a good method for the majority of people, especially those new to heart rate training. The most precise and accurate way of determining your individual max HR is to have it clinically tested by a cardiologist or exercise physiologist through the use of a maximal stress test.
If you are over the age of 40, overweight, have been sedentary for several years or have a history of heart disease in your family, clinical testing is recommended.
This chart gives examples of the heart rate range for a 30-year-old exercising at 5 different heart rate zones. For example, a 30-year-old’s max HR is 211 – (0.64 x 30) = 192 BPM and 90% max HR is 192 × 0.9 = 173 BPM.
| Target Heart Rate Zone | Workout Duration | Example THR Zone (age 30) | Your THR Zone | Recommended For |
| VERY HARD 90 – 100% |
< 5 MIN |
173 – 192 BPM | Fit persons and for athletic training | |
| HARD 80 – 90% | 2 – 10 MIN | 154 – 173 BPM | Shorter workouts | |
| MODERATE 70 – 80% | 10 – 40 MIN | 134 – 154 BPM | Moderately long workouts | |
| LIGHT 60 – 70% | 40 – 80 MIN | 115 – 134 BPM | Longer and frequently repeated shorter exercises | |
| VERY LIGHT 50 – 60% | 20 – 40 MIN | 96 – 115 BPM | Weight management and active recovery |
USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips can provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid n determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
WARNING!
Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.

TARGET HEART RATE
TREADMILLS
Target Heart Rate – Speed
- The incline and speed can be adjusted at any time by the user including during warm up and cool down.
- The speed range for the workout is from 0.5 MPH / 0.8 KPH to the maximum set by the user during workout setup.
- After warm up the speed automatically adjusts 0.3 MPH / 0.5 KPH every 20 seconds to bring you within 5 beats of your THR.
- Speed will not exceed the max speed set during program setup.
- During Cool Down the speed will be reduced by 60% of the current speed or to 4 MPH / 6.4KPH, whichever is slower and the incline will be reduced to 0.
- If no heart rate is detected or signal is lost, the speed will remain at the same level for 60 seconds and then begin decreasing 0.6 MPH / 1.0 KPH every 10 seconds until the minimum speed is reached while incline will remain unchanged.
- The program ends if the user’s heart rate exceeds the max heart rate for 20 seconds.
Target Heart Rate – Incline (XUR/XIR console only) - The incline and speed can be adjusted at any time by the user including during warm up and cool down.
- The incline range for the workout is from 0% to the maximum set by the user during workout setup.
- After warm up the incline automatically adjusts 0.5% every 5 seconds to bring you within 5 beats of your % max heart rate.
- Incline will not exceed the max incline set during program setup.
- During Cool Down the speed will be reduced by 60% of the current speed or to 4 MPH / 6.4KPH, whichever is slower and the incline will be reduced to 0.
- If no heart rate is detected or signal is lost, the speed will remain at the same level for 60 seconds and then begin decreasing 0.6 MPH / 1.0 KPH every 10 seconds until the minimum speed is reached while incline will remain unchanged.
- The program ends if the user’s heart rate exceeds the max heart rate for 5 seconds.
ASCENT/ELLIPTICAL/BIKE/CLIMBMILL
Target Heart Rate – Resistance
- The resistance and incline (A30 & A50 only) can be adjusted at any time by the user including during warm up and cool down.
- The resistance range for the workout is from 1 to the maximum set by the user during workout setup.
- After warm up the resistance automatically adjusts 1 resistance level every 10 seconds to bring you within 5 beats of your % max heart rate.
- Resistance will not exceed the max resistance set during program setup.
- During Cool Down the resistance will be reduced to 1 and the incline will be reduced to 0.
- If no heart rate is detected or signal is lost, the resistance will remain at the same level for 60 seconds and then begin decreasing 1 resistance level every 10 seconds until the minimum resistance is reached. The incline (A30 & A50 only) will remain unchanged.
- The program ends if the user’s heart rate exceeds the max heart rate for 10 seconds.
ENERGY SAVER (STANDBY MODE)
This machine has a special feature called Energy Saver mode. This mode is automatically activated. When Energy Saver mode is activated, the display will automatically enter standby mode (Energy Saver mode) after 30 minutes of inactivity. This feature saves energy by disabling most power to the machine until a button is pressed.
RESETTING THE LUBRICATION MESSAGE:
It is necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck or ClimbMill step chains at regular intervals to maintain optimal performance. Your console will inform you when your machine requires lubrication. Visit the Support section of matrixfitness.com to view “howto” service videos. Please contact Customer Tech Support with questions about applying lubricant.
