USING HEART RATE TRAINING
WHAT IS HEART RATE TRAINING?
Heart Rate Training means exercising at an intensity that keeps you in your
ideal heart rate zone. Your personal heart rate training zone depends
on your fitness goal, such as weight loss, cardiovascular endurance, or
strength building. Refer to page 34 for more information on heart rate
training zones. VISION FITNESS HRT ® programs are set up to keep
you at an ideal heart rate based on your fitness goal. These programs
automatically adjust resistance based on your heart rate readings.
The console features four programs (HRT Weight Loss, HRT Cardio, HRT
Interval, and HRT Hill) that offer the benefits of Heart Rate Training. Refer to
page 21 for more details on these programs.
• These programs use the predicted maximum heart rate formula
(220 minus age) to determine your predicted maximum heart rate.
Some individuals have higher or lower maximum heart rates than
determined by this formula. The programs allow you to modify your
Target Heart Rate to achieve your personal goals.
HAND PULSE HEART RATE SENSORS
The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors are
included on each product to monitor
your heart rate. To use, grasp both
of the sensors with a comfortable grip
during your workout. The console will
display your heart rate. Although your
signal will be displayed immediately,
it may take the system a few seconds
to zero in on your actual heart rate.
NOTE:
The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors will work for the HRT ® programs,
but it is recommended to use the telemetric chest strap for an uninterrupted
signal and ease of use.
