Heart Rate Programs
These programs (except Speed HRC) adjust the incline to
maintain your heart rate within two beats per minute of the
target heart rate while you exercise. To use these programs,
you must enter your age and wear a chest strap or grasp the
touch-sensitive handrail grips so your heart rate can be
monitored throughout the session. Refer to Table 5 for more
information about the heart rate programs.
Important: Consult your physician to determine the
appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness level.
If your physician recommends a different target heart rate
than the one that appears on the display, use the OPTIONS
key to change your target heart rate while exercising. Do not
exercise over the recommended range of 85% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate.
Heart Rate Program Tips
The Heart Rate programs enhance your overall
cardiovascular fitness levels to help you achieve your weight
loss and fitness goals. Read through the following tips
before selecting a program. These tips provide general
information regarding how the programs function. For more
information and exercise suggestions, refer to the Precor
web site at www.precor.com.
• Each program provides a 3-minute warm-up period.
During this time, you may change the incline or speed,
but you cannot change to a distance or calorie goal. At
the end of the warm-up period, the program automatically
controls the incline. Pressing the INCLINE arrow keys
has no affect.
Note: When your target heart rate is achieved or the
3-minute period elapses, the warm-up period ends and
the program begins.
