4.4.3 H.R.C. - Heart rate controlled program
As soon as AGE is displayed in the LED display, you can enter your age with the + and
- button. The preset value is 30 years. Conrm your age with ENTER. Then PULSE will
light up on the LED display. The computer calculates the target pulse based on the
entered age. This amounts to 60% of the maximum heart rate and is appropriate for
weight reduction. However, if you are aiming for cardio training, you have to increase
the default pulse rate through the + and - buttons so that the target pulse is about 70-
80% of the maximum heart rate. The spectrum to change the target pulse is between
60% and 95% of the maximum heart rate. After entering the target pulse value,
conrm your settings with the ENTER button. After this, TIME will appear in the large
display eld. Set the desired training time (5-99 minutes) with the + and - buttons and
conrm your setting with ENTER.
This will be followed by a three second countdown before the training time starts to
run. Please remember that the actual pulse controlled training program begins after
the warm-up phase of three minutes.
The following table on the next page shows the connection between age and heart
rate.
