USEFUL REFERENCE
Target Zone
To help achieve maximum health benefits from your workout program, it is important to know
your health index as shown below:
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
Upper heart rate limit
Lower heart rate limit
MHR is expressed in beats per minute. You can get your MHR from an MHR test, or you can
estimate it by using the following formula:
220-age=MHR
The watch is pre-programmed with three target zone options, each with its lower and upper
heart rate limit, as listed in the table below.
ZONE NAME
LOWER LIMIT
UPPER LIMIT
Fat burn
61% x MHR
70% x MHR
Aerobic
71% x MHR
80% x MHR
Anaerobic
81% x MHR
90% x MHR
The zone range from 61% to 80% of your maximum heart rate is where you achieve
cardiovascular benefits, burn fat and become fitter.
There are three categories of training as described in the table below.
The upper and lower heart rate limits are calculated by multiplying your MHR by the
percentages of the selected training category.
For example:
A 40-year-old training for fat burn purpose:
His upper heart rate limit [220-40(age)] x 70%
His lower heart rate limit [220-40(age)] x 61%
NOTE Always warm up before exercise and select the training category that best suits your
physique. Exercise regularly, 20 to 30 minutes per session, three to four times a week for a
healthier cardiovascular system.
WARNING Determining your individual training category is a critical step in the process
towards an efficient and safe training program. Please consult your doctor or health

This is the lowest training intensity level. It is good for
beginners and those who want to strengthen their
cardiovascular systems and burn some fat.

Increases strength and endurance. It works within the
body’s oxygen intake capability, burns more calories
and can be maintained for a long period of time.
Anaerobic
81-90%
Generates speed and power. It works at or above the
body’s oxygen intake capability, builds muscle and
