True’s heart rate control (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 heart rate
controlled workouts for advice on selecting a target
heart rate range. Also, it is important to use the
bike 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 3 for a guide to proper usage. It is not recommended
that you use the contact heart rate system for heart rate control
workouts.
