Measuring Your
Heart Rate
Precor cardio equipment can measure your heart rate
in one of two ways:
 If you have a chest strap (for use with a fitness
watch, for example), the equipment can receive
the heart rate signal the strap transmits.
 You can grasp the heart rate sensors on the
handlebars.
When the equipment detects your heart rate, the
following things happen:
 The heartbeat indicator (icon) begins to flash.
 After a few seconds, the console displays your
current heart rate.
 If SmartRate is on, a second heartbeat icon
appears over your current heart rate zone (refer to
Using SmartRate).
Before you start working out, make sure you know your
maximum heart rate. Then, as you work out, be sure to
reduce the intensity of your exercise if you reach or
exceed that number.
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of
your maximum heart rate.
You can use the following formula, provided by the
American College of Sports Medicine®, to figure out
your maximum heart rate:
Maximum heart rate = 207 – (your age × 0.67)
Your typical target heart rate is 70% of your maximum
rate.
