Heart Rate Program
The Basic HRC Program (P8)
adjusts the resistance to
maintain your heart rate within
two beats per minute of the
target heart rate while you exercise. To help you monitor
your heart rate while using this program, Target HR
Achieved appears at the top of the SmartRate display
when your heart rate is within two beats per minute of the
target heart rate.
To use this program, you must enter your age and grasp
the touch-sensitive grips so your heart rate can be
monitored throughout the session.
Important: Consult your physician to determine the
appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness level.
If your physician recommends a different target heart rate
than the one that appears on the display, adjust it
accordingly. Do not exercise over the recommended
range of 87% of your maximum aerobic heart rate.
Heart Rate Program Tips
The Basic HRC Program enhances your overall
cardiovascular fitness level to help you achieve your weight
loss and fitness goals. Read through the following tips
before selecting a program. These tips provide general
information regarding how the program functions. For more
information and exercise suggestions, refer to the Precor
web site at www.precor.com.
• The program provides a 3-minute warm-up period.
During this time, you may change the CrossRamp or
resistance, but you cannot adjust the time. At the end
of the warm-up period, the program automatically
controls the resistance.
Note: The warm-up period ends and the program
begins when the 3-minute period elapses or your target
heart rate is maintained within +/- 2 beats per minute.
• Pressing the RESISTANCE arrow keys during the
Basic HRC program adjusts your target heart rate.
