Introduction
TRUE’s HRC workouts let the treadmill monitor your relative
exercise intensity by way of your heart rate, then automatically
adjust the workload to keep you at your target heart rate and
thus your desired exercise intensity.
Your heart rate is a good measure of your body’s exercise stress
level. It reflects differences in your physical condition, how tired
you are, the comfort of the workout environment, even your
diet and emotional state. Using heart rate to control workload
takes the guesswork out of your workout settings.
Consult your physician before using workouts
for advice on selecting a target heart rate range.
Also, it is important to use the treadmill for
several workouts in the manual mode while
monitoring your heart rate. Compare your heart
rate with how you feel to ensure your safety and comfort.
See Appendix A for a chart that may help you pick a target
heart rate.
You need to wear a heart rate monitoring chest strap to use
heart rate control. See the “Monitoring Your Heart Rate”
section in Chapter 1 for a guide to proper usage. It is not
recommended that you use the contact heart rate system for
HRC workouts.
