User’s Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 7
Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate
A heart rate receiver is an integral part of the display so you can
monitor your heart rate while exercising. If you wear a chest strap, your
heart rate (beats per minute) appears on the display.
The Precor web site (www.precor.com) has several suggestions for
workouts with varying levels of intensity. It provides many workout
details that include the appropriate target heart rate.
The cycle includes a heart rate program that lets you exercise based
on a specified target heart rate. As you exercise, the program monitors
your heart rate and automatically maintains it within a few beats per
minute of your selected target. To use this program, press the
PROGRAMS - HEART RATE key. For more information, refer to
Programs.
Heart Rate Analysis
Every time you complete a program using the chest strap, the display
provides a heart rate analysis after the workout summary. The heart
rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate signal is received
while exercising.
Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum heart rate
achieved during your workout. A third display appears, if you entered
your age, and indicates the amount of time your heart rate remained
between the target zones shown.
