OW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart
rate near a certain
percentage
of your
maximum heart
rate
during your workout. Note: Your maximum heart
r
ate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum
heart rate is 190 (220 – 30 = 190).
Heart rate programs 1 and 3 are designed to keep
your heart rate between 50% and 85% of your maxi-
mum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate pro-
gram 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between
50% and 80% of your maximum heart rate; heart rate
program 4 is designed to keep your heart rate near a
target heart rate that you choose.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 14.
Select one of the four heart rate programs.
When the power is
turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected. To
select a heart rate
program, press
the Program
Select button repeatedly until an “Hr 1,” “Hr 2,”
“Hr 3,” or “Hr 4” appears in the lower display.
Enter your age.
After a heart rate
program is select-
ed, the word
“AGE” and the
current age set-
ting will flash in
the lower display.
Y
ou must enter your age to use a heart rate pro
-
gram. If you have already entered your age,
press the Enter (Program Start) button and go to
step 4. If you have not entered your age, press
the + or – (Resistance) button repeatedly to enter
your age, and then press the Enter button. Note:
Once you have entered your age, it will be saved
in memory
.
E
nter a target heart rate.
If heart rate program 1, 2, or 3 is selected,
you do not need to enter a target heart rate.
Go to step 5.
If heart rate pro-
g
ram 4 is select-
ed,
the letters
“PLS” and a target
heart rate will flash
in the lower dis-
play. Press the +
or – (Resistance) button repeatedly to change
the target heart rate, if desired.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the
chest pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must hold the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the chest pulse
sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is
not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously
during the program. However, you should hold the
handgrips frequently for the program to operate
properly.
Each time you hold the handgrips,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not hold-
ing the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will appear in
the lower display instead of your heart rate.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Heart rate programs 1, 2, and 3 are divided into
several one-minute segments. One resistance
setting and one target heart rate are pro-
grammed for each segment. (The same resis-
tance setting and/or target heart rate may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments.) Heart rate
program 4 is sixty minutes long (you may
choose to use only part of the program). The
same resistance setting and target heart rate are
programmed for the entire program.
If heart rate program 1, 2, or 3 is selected, the
resistance of the pedals will periodically change
to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate.
Note: If the resistance is too high or too low, you
can adjust the resistance by pressing the
Resistance buttons. However, when the current
segment is completed, the resistance may auto-
matically change. If heart rate program 4 is
selected, the resistance will not change unless
the target heart rate is changed. Pressing the +
and – buttons will change the target heart rate.
