[. . . ] At the end of the work out, press the RECOVERY key (5) whilst maintaining the pulse function. After the calculation, it awards a score between F1 and F6 (F1 = very good, F6 = unsatisfactory) making it possible to assess the user's physical fitness. * The NUMBER OF REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE (RPM) and SPEED functions are displayed alternately in the same window every 5 seconds. [. . . ] If you have a sedentary lifestyle without regular physical activity, it is vital that you consult your doctor to determine the level of intensity of your training. Once determined, do not attempt to achieve your maximum during the first training sessions. This enables you to develop your cardiovascular system (fitness of the heart / blood vessels). During Cardio-Training, the muscles need a supply of oxygen and nutritive substances. Our heart increases its rhythm and sends a larger amount of oxygen to the body by means of the cardiovascular system. The more often you exercise regularly and repetitively, the more your heart will develop, just like any other muscle. In daily life, this translates into the ability to bear greater physical effort and improve your intellectual faculties. Definition of your work Zone: The Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) = 220 - age (180 ­ age for sedentary people). The The The The Warming Up Zone and Cooling Down Zone are equal to 55% of your MHR. Make a diagram of the target zones The progressive training stages: 1) A warming up phase: Start each training session by warming up progressively (10-20 min, more if you are over 50) which will put your muscles on standby and gently increase your heart rate. Keep your Heart Rate at this level for the duration of the warming up time. If you begin your training too quickly, you are in danger of increasing the risk of tendon or muscle injury. Depending on your specific goals and your initial physical condition, weight loss, improvement of cardiovascular resistance (aerobic work), development of stamina (anaerobic work), it is possible to choose the appropriate target zone. The Fat Loss Zone, 55 ­ 65% The heart rate must be low and the duration of the exercise quite long. This zone is advised for people resuming physical activity after a long period of idleness, who are trying to eliminate excess weight or are susceptible to cardiac problems. Do not forget that for this type of training the duration of the exercise must be at least 30 minutes and the Heart Rate (HR) between 55 and 65% of the MHR.
