WARNING! User should consult a physician to determine
an appropriate target heart rate in which to exercise in based on age,
weight and physical condition. While Nautilus provides some target
heart rate ranges, these are only approximations and should not be
viewed as a medical recommendation.
Heart Rate (HR) Zone Trainer Program
The Heart Rate Zone Trainer program allows you to exercise at a selected target
heart rate by automatically varying the intensity level (speed or incline) during
the workout. The default target heart rate is equal to 70% of your maximum
heart rate which is calculated by the following equation:
Max HR = 215 – (.75 * Age). Target HR = Max HR * .7. To choose a different
target heart rate (between 100 and 180 beats per minute) at any time during the
workout, use the numeric keypad to enter the new target heart rate, followed by
the [ENTER] key.
To use the HR Zone Trainer program:
1. For best results, use a telemetry heart rate chest belt. However, you
can also use the contact HR grips located on the ergo bar in front of the
console. If you use contact HR, speed will be limited to a maximum of 4.5
mph. Further, HR Control will be limited to Incline changes only.
If you are using the telemetry HR method, put the chest strap on. Remember to
wet the electrodes underneath the chest strap. The console must detect a heart
rate signal to allow selection of the HR Zone Trainer program.
If you will be using contact HR, then place your hands on the contact HR grips
below the console.
2. Press the [HR ZONE TRAINER] key. The message, HR ZONE TRAINER, will
be displayed on the text line with the workout profile in the lower display.
3. The console will display ENTER WEIGHT - LBS (or ENTER WEIGHT -
KG if in Metric mode). Enter your weight using the numeric keypad and
press [ENTER].
Or, press [ENTER] to accept the default value.
Your weight is used to calculate the number of calories burned for
each minute of exercise and the total number of calories burned for the
exercise session.
