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. 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 (Target HRT, HRT Weight Loss, HRT
Interval, HRT Hill) that offer the benefits of Heart Rate Training. Refer to Page
17 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.
