As shown in Diagram 15, when a user maintains his or her heart rate between
70% and 85% of their maximum aerobic heart rate, overall improvement occurs
to his or her cardiorespiratory fitness level. If a person maintains his or her heart
rate between 55% and 70% of their maximum aerobic heart rate, he or she is
burning enough calories that, when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes
or more, provides the greatest fat-burning (weight loss) benefits.

USING THE HEART RATE CAPABILITY

Important: A user can access SmartRate and utilize all heart rate function, only
if he or she grasps the heart rate grips ont he handlebars or sears a POLAR

not appear when you use the QuickStart key.

A user can make each program on the C764 a heart rate interactive course by
monitoring and maintaining his or her heart rate in the SmartRate zone best
suited for their specific needs.

Before utilizing the heart rate capabilities (SmartRate), take time to read the
following guidelines. Make sure that you informs your customers as well.

• Consult with your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise. Do not

use SmartRate until authorized by your physician.

• Slow down and stop the workout immediately if you experience any pain or

prevent stiffness or soreness.
