Heart Rate Monitor
As an option, the 500C Cycle and 500R Recumbent Cycle includes a heart rate monitor
harness you can wear during a workout to continuously monitor your heart rate. In either
manual or program mode, the heart rate monitor merely gives you more information - it lets
you see your current heart rate at any time.
However, used with the 500C Cycle and 500R Recumbent Cycle Heart Rate Control program,
this option lets you design a workout tailored to your age and condition by gradually bringing
you to your target heart rate, then keeping you at that heart rate for the rest of the workout. To
use the heart rate program:
1. Get on your cycle and start pedaling to activate the console.
If the cycle is set for "Get On and Go" operation, start pedaling, press Clear twice,
then continue with step 2.
2. The display will show the default workout length in the "Speed" field, and the light next to
"Time" at the right of the console will flash. You can change the workout length using the
up and down arrow keys, up
to the maximum. Press
Enter.
3. The light next to “Program"
now flashes. Press the HR
Control key.
4. The light next to "Age"
flashes. Use the up and
down arrow keys to set
your age. Press Enter.
5. The display will show your
target heart rate (based on
your age) and the percentage
of your maximum heart rate.
Use the up and down arrow keys to set the target heart rate you want for this workout and
press Enter.
Over the first few minutes of your workout, your cycle will gradually build you up to your
target heart rate. It will then keep you at this rate until the cool-down period at the end of the
workout.
While you're pedaling, the fields at the top of the console show statistics about your workout.
For details about this display, see "The Workout Display" in Chapter 3. The workout graph
shows a horizontal line representing your target heart rate. Each column of lights is your heart
rate for a segment of the workout, moving from right to left. Each light represents ten beats
per minute. The blinking column is your current heart rate.
