In order to obtain the maximum from your treadmill workout you should frequently monitor your heart rate. That’s why most of the treadmills come with a pulse monitoring systems.
By measuring your pulse you make sure you are within you heart rate training zone and, therefore, are getting the most out of each workout.
The heart rate training zones are calculated by taking in consideration your maximum heart rate and the resting heart rate.
1. The recovery zone
Heart rate: 60-70%
Training in this zone will develop endurance and aerobic capacity.
2.The aerobic zone
Heart rate: 70-80%
If you do workouts in this zone you will develop your cardiovascular system (your body will increase the ability to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide).
3.The anaerobic zone
Hear rate:80-90%
Training in this zone will improve your lactic acid system. During the workouts in this zone the fat consume is much reduced and main source of energy is glycogen.
4.The red line
Hear rate 90 to 100%
Training in this zone will develop your fast muscle fibers and is possible only for shorter intervals. This zone will be achieved during the interval training.
Now you see why you have to know what is your hear rate. If you are not working in the correct training zone you will miss your goals and become frustrated.
As a side note: most of the treadmill workouts we presented so far use the recovery zone and aerobic zone because in these ranges you use fat as main source of energy and the heart is very well trained.
