Heart Rate Control (HRC) Program
The Heart Rate Control Program lets you set a target for your heart
rate. The program adjusts the resistance to maintain your heart rate
within two beats per minute of the target heart rate while you
exercise. To use this program, you must wear the chest strap so the
program can monitor your heart rate throughout the session.
During your workout, the number that represents your heart rate
appears when the HEART RATE LED is lit.
For information about understanding your target heart rate, refer to
Heart Rate Features.
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, use the appropriate RESISTANCE arrow keys to
change the target heart rate once you finish the warm-up period. Do
not exercise over the recommended range.
Warm-Up Period
The cycle provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this time, you
may change the resistance.
Note: If your heart rate moves into the target heart rate zone
[(220 minus age) x 70%] during the 3-minute warm-up period, the
warm-up period ends and the Heart Rate Control
Program begins.
