HOWTO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 190.) Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep
your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maxi­
mum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate pro­
gram 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between
50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

U pedaling to turn on the console.

Enter your age.
When a heart rate
program is selected,
the word “AGE” and
the current age set­
ting will flash in the
left display. You must
enter your age to use
a heart rate program. If you have already entered
your age, press the Enter button and go to step
4. If you have not entered your age, press the +
or - button repeatedly to enter your age, and
then press the Enter button. Once you have
entered your age, it will be saved in memory.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 10)
or the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the
handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold
the handgrips continuously during the program.
However, you should hold the handgrips fre­
quently for the program to operate properly. Each
time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands
on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Note: When you are not holding the handgrips,
the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display
instead of your heart rate.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
When the program is started, the elliptical exer­
ciser will automatically adjust to the resistance
setting for the first segment.
Each program is divided into 20 one-minute seg­
ments. One resistance setting and one target
heart rate setting are programmed for each seg­
ment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments.
During the last three seconds of each segment, a
series of tones will sound. The resistance of the
elliptical exerciser will then automatically change if
a different resistance setting is programmed for
the next segment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help
you to keep your heart rate near the target heart
