User’s Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 7
Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate
A heart rate receiver is an integral part of the display so you can
monitor your heart rate while exercising. If you wear a chest strap or
grasp both touch-sensitive handlebar grips, your heart rate (beats per
minute) appears on the display.
The Precor web site (www.precor.com) has several suggestions for
workouts with varying levels of intensity. It provides many workout
details that include the appropriate target heart rate.
The AMT includes a heart rate program that lets you exercise based
on a specified target heart rate. As you exercise, the program monitors
your heart rate and automatically maintains it within a few beats per
minute of your selected target. To use this program, press the
PROGRAMS - HEART RATE key. For more information, refer to
Programs.
Heart Rate Analysis
Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or touch-
sensitive handlebar grips, the display provides a heart rate analysis
after the workout summary.
Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum heart rate
achieved during your workout. A third display appears, if you entered
your age, and indicates the amount of time your heart rate remained
between the target zones shown.
The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate signal is
received while exercising. If you use the chest strap, the average heart
rate will be more accurate than if you occasionally grasp the touch-
sensitive handlebar grips.
