User’s Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 8
Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate
The cycle includes a heart rate receiver so you can monitor your
heart rate while exercising. If you wear a chest strap or grasp both
touch-sensitive handlebar grips, your heart rate appears on the
display.
The Precor website (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 program that lets you exercise based on a
specified heart rate. You set your target heart rate at the beginning.
As you exercise, the Heart Rate Program monitors your heart rate
and automatically maintains it within a few beats per minutes (bpm)
of your selected target. To use this program, select 9 HEART RATE
CONTROL. For more information, refer to Programs.
Heart Rate Analysis
Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or touch-
sensitive grips, the cycle provides a heart rate analysis after the
workout summary.
Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum heart rate
achieved during your workout. A third display, indicates the amount
of time your heart rate remained between the target zones shown.
The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate signal
is received while exercising. If you use the chest strap, the average
heart rate will be more accurate than if you occasionally grasp the
touch-sensitive grips.
Note: The Fitness Test does not provide a heart rate analysis display. It
is replaced by a fitness score. Refer to 14 Fitness Test in the
Programs section.
