This is the simplest way to enter target heart rate training. While in
manual or any program you can enter Target Heart Rate Control by
simply pressing the Target HRC/Cruise Control key. Your current
heart rate will be set as the target.
For best results, you should be at least five minutes into your
workout and warmed up. This will allow Cruise Control to more
accurately control your heart rate.
Remember, you must be wearing a chest strap, and your heart rate
should be displayed in the Heart Rate window.
To change your target heart rate press
. Edit the target using
and press . If you are lowering your target, you are limited to
a 5 bpm change. It is important to note that if you are raising your
target, the speed and grade change safety limits (described next) may
prevent the treadmill from raising your heart rate to your desired
new target.
If you enter the HRC stage below 5 mph, the speed you enter will
be the maximum speed of your workout. If you like to walk at a
maximum speed of 3.8 mph, you should enter HRC at 3.8 mph.
If you enter the HRC stage above 5 mph, you will have an additional
1 mph of speed. If you enter HRC at 6 mph, your maximum
attainable speed in the HRC stage will be 7 mph.
If at any time you enter the HRC stage with incline, you will have an
additional 4% of incline available in the HRC stage. If you enter the
HRC stage at 1% incline, your maximum attainable incline will be 5%.
If you do not enter the HRC stage with incline, no incline will be
available during the HRC stage of your workout. Only speed will be
used to control your heart rate.
