Heart Rate Control Console
PART 2
HEART RATE CONTROL
This console has an easy to operate heart rate control program that operates using the same sequence
of steps as the other programs. The heart rate control program will take you through a warm-up phase,
and gradually increase the resistance levels automatically until your actual heart rate is equal to your
inputted target level (plus or minus five beats). During the last two segments of your workout, the resist-
ance will be reduced gradually to allow your body a slow cool down period.
DETERMINING TARGET HEART RATE
Target heart rate is the number of beats per minute you determine to be ideal for achieving your person-
al fitness goals. If you have been sedentary, or have a history of heart disease always consult your
physician to determine the target heart rate. Otherwise, please read pages 25 and 26 for further infor-
mation to help you decide on the target rate best for you.
CHOOSE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM
After turning on the power to your Elliptical Trainer, use either the UP or DOWN arrow to choose the
HEART RATE CONTROL program. Press ENTER.
CHOOSE TARGET HEART RATE
The function light next to PROGRAM LEVEL will be flashing and ‘H 80’ will show in the number screen.
You can choose a target heart rate from 80 to 170 in 5 beat increments by pressing the UP or DOWN
arrow. Once your selected target level is showing in the number screen, press ENTER.
The steps for entering TIME and WEIGHT are the same as all the other programs. After inputting your
choices, press START.
MAINTAIN HIGH PEDALING RPM’s
When using the Heart Rate Control program, you may find that the resistance levels rise higher than
what your legs are accustomed to working against. To avoid this, and reduce the stress on your joints, it
is highly recommended that you step at a rapid cadence range of 60 to 70 RPM’s. If you do not step at
higher RPM’s (60-70), you may find it impossible to achieve heart rate target level, since workload is
determined by the combination of resistance and RPM’s.
