HEART RATE PROGRAMS (See the MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE section for more information)
Heart rate control programs are designed to automatically change resistance to keep
your heart rate at a predetermined level based on the selected Heart Rate program.
Each Heart Rate program is designed with a specic goal in mind.
If no Heart Rate signal is detected for 10 seconds, the MESSAGE WINDOW will show “NO
DETECTED HR”. If this continues for 40 seconds, the MESSAGE WINDOW will show “ABORT
PROGRAM” for 3 seconds then interrupt the Heart Rate Control program and return
to Program Mode.
HOW HEART RATE PROGRAMS WORK
Change in Heart Rate ( HR) = Beats per minute dierence between
Target Heart Rate (THR) and Current Heart Rate (CHR).
or : HR = THR (bpm) - CHR (bpm)
The Heart Rate Programs will behave in the following manner:
HR equal to 5
Resistance level stays the same. The MESSAGE WINDOW will show “IN HR TARGET” for 3
seconds then toggle back to workout information.
HR greater than 5
Resistance level decreases. If the current resistance level is 1, then the
MESSAGE WINDOW will display “STRIDE SLOWER” for 3 seconds. The console’s computer
will check the user’s Heart Rate every 40 seconds and adjust the resistance level to t
the Target Heart Rate.
HR less than 5
Resistance level will increase. If the current resistance level is 20, the MESSAGE WINDOW
will show “FASTER” for 3 seconds. The console’s computer will check the user’s Heart
Rate every 40 seconds and adjust the resistance level to t the Target Heart Rate.
% (TARGET HEART RATE)
% Target Heart Rate allows the user to select a percentage of Maximum Heart Rate
(See section titled MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE for more information) that would
like to be maintained during the exercise session. The percentage range can be var-
ied from 50% to 85%.
HR 80% (CARDIO)
HR 80% maintains the Target Heart Rate at 80% of the Maximum Heart Rate by au-
tomatically adjusting resistance levels. This program provides for a high intensity,
cardiovascular workout.
