Heart Rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 65% and 85% of your
maximum heart
rate
during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220; for exam-
ple, if you are 25 years old, your maximum heart rate
is 195 beats per minute.) Heart Rate program 2 is
designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate that you select.
Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 13.
Select one of the Heart Rate programs.
Each time the console is
turned on, the manual
mode will be selected. To
select a Heart Rate pro-
gram, press the Program
button repeatedly until the
number 1 or 2 appears in
the small display.
Enter your age or a target heart rate.
If program 1 is selected, the word AGE and the
current age setting will appear in the large display.
If you have already entered your age, press the
Enter button. If you have not entered your age,
press the small + and – buttons to enter your age,
and then press the Enter button. Once you have
entered your age, it will be saved in memory until
the batteries are replaced.
If program 2 is selected, the letters PLS and the
current target heart rate will appear in the large
display. If you do not wish to change the target
heart rate, press the Enter button. If you wish to
change the target heart rate, press the small +
and – buttons, and then press the Enter button.
The target heart rate can be from 70 to 170 beats
per minute.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor
.
To use a Heart Rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest
pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips con-
tinuously during the program; however, you must
hold the handgrips frequently for the program to
operate properly. Each time you hold the hand-
grips, keep your hands on the metal contacts
for at least 30 seconds.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Heart rate program 1 consists of 20 one-minute
periods. One resistance level and one target heart
rate are programmed for each period. (Note: The
same resistance level and/or target heart rate
may be programmed for two or more consecutive
periods.) Heart Rate program 2 is sixty minutes
long (you may choose to use only part of the pro-
gram). The same resistance level and target heart
rate are programmed for the entire program.
When you begin pedaling, the resistance of the
pedals will automatically change to the resistance
level programmed for the first period.
As you pedal, the
arrows in the
small display will
help you to keep
your heart rate
near the current
target heart rate.
When you hold
the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional
chest pulse sensor, the console will compare your
heart rate to the current target heart rate. If your
heart rate is too far above or below the target
heart rate, the number of arrows in the small dis-
play will change to prompt you to increase or
decrease your pace. When the number of arrows
changes, change your pace until one segment of
the indicator bar appears at the tip of each arrow.
Important: The target pace is intended only to
provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slow-
er than the target pace, especially during the
first few months of your exercise program.
Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort-
able for you.
