priate procedures provided under “Athletic Partner Programs”.

Program Definition
This heart rate feature is designed to gradually elevate
your heart rate to the upper end of your selected training
range, then gradually decrease your heart rate to the
lower end of your selected training range using speed and
incline. During the workout, this cycle will repeat sever-
al times, creating an interval training effect that is cus-
tomized to the user’s desired heart rate training range.
During program setup, there must be at least an 18 BPM
difference between the lower heart rate limit and upper
heart rate limit to ensure an interval workout.
■■
Benefits of Heart Rate Intervals
By including interval exercise in your regular aerobic program, greater effects are noticed. Your heart and muscles will adapt to
the increases in demand by utilizing stored calories for energy more effectively. Dynamic Heart Rate Control may potentially
result in more calories expended. It will strengthen the heart, provide stress relief and variety to a workout. This program is more
effective in training the body to remove excess lactic acid from the muscles.

How to Use Dynamic Heart Rate Control
NOTE: For best results, use a heart rate strap. If user is wearing a heart rate strap, the machine will automatically use the data
from the heart rate strap. Contact heart rate grips may not give an accurate heart rate when exercising over 4 mph.
During program setup, you can use the B
