Heart Rate Control Stage Instructions
The Warm Up Stage ends when your heart rate is 10 beats from the Target Heart Rate. In
the Heart Rate Control Stage the treadmill software gradually increases your heart rate to
the target. It does this by increasing the speed in .1 MPH increments. If needed, the speed
will continue to increase up to the pre-set maximum speed. If your heart rate has not
reached your target heart rate, and you need an additional workload to raise your heart
rate, the grade will be raised in .5% increments up to the pre-set maximum grade (unless
0 grade was entered).
Whenever the workload needs to be reduced in order to lower your heart rate, the grade is
reduced first. The grade will be reduced to 0 (if required), before the speed is reduced.
When your heart rate is 10 beats away from your target, the following messages
will display in the Message Center one at a time:
BEGINNING
TARGET HRC
HANDS FREE
The computer software takes control of the treadmill at this point, allowing hands free
operation. The time window will reset and begin descending from the time you originally
entered in the setup of the workout parameters. The treadmill now controls all speed and/
or grade changes. The treadmill will gradually continue to increase your workload until
you reach your selected target heart rate.
When your heart rate is at plus or minus 2 beats, the Message Center will read:
AT TARGET
NOTE:
Touching any key except or will immediately
exit you from the Heart Rate Control Stage and begin your
Cool Down Stage.
NOTE:
If your speed or grade reaches your preset maximums, MAX
SPEED or MAX GRADE will be displayed.
