Introduction to HRC
chapter Four: Heart Rate Control Workout
Introduction
to HRC TRUE's HRC workouts let the CSX monitor your relative
exercise intensity by way of your heart rate, then automatically
adjust the workload to keep you at your target heart rate and
thus your desired exercise intensity.
Your heart rate is a good measure of your body's exercise stress
level. It reflects differences in your physical condition, how
tired you are, the comfort of the workout environment, even
your diet and emotional state. Using heart rate to control your
workload takes the guesswork out of your workout settings.
Consult your physician before using HRC workouts for advice
on selecting a target heart rate range. Also, it is important to
use the CSX for several workouts in the manual mode while
monitoring your heart rate. Compare your heart rate with how
you feel to ensure your safety and comfort.
See Appendix A for a chart that may help you pick a target
heart rate.
You should wear a heart rate monitoring chest strap when you
use HRC. See the "Monitoring Your Heart Rate" section in
Chapter 1 for a guide to proper usage. It is not recommended
that you use the contact heart rate system for HRC workouts.
