3.10 HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM
The Heart Rate Control Program allows a user to workout at the exact intensity level they desire by exercising at a
predetermined heart rate level. This reduces the risk of overtraining, which can cause injuries, exhaustion or even burnout
and under training, which can be ineffective and have the user seeing little to no results. Before starting the program, users
will need to enter their age (if no User ID is selected) and the desired percentage of their maximum possible heart rate (50-
89%), they wish to work out at. The computer will then calculate the recommended target heart rate value, which may be
altered before starting. The program starts in a warm up mode that will gradually bring the user’s heart rate up to 80% of
their Target Heart rate and which point the program will start. At that point the resistance of the bike automatically adjusts to
provide the necessary intensity to reach and maintain the target heart rate.
NOTE –
This program requires the user wearing a wireless chest strap but the user can also use the hand grips but it must
them continuously the ensure proper a functionning. This strap is available at authorized Bodyguard
Fitness dealers or from
Bodyguard Fitness’ Customer Service Department (
888-407-3784
).
The strap should fit snugly across the chest since any movement during exercise may result in an incorrect reading of the
heart beat. For an optimum reading, users should exercise within an arm’s length of the console. If, after a few seconds, the
heart rate receiver does not detect a signal from the chest strap, then “UNSTABLE HR, PLEASE CHECK CHEST STRAP
OR HANDS POSITION” will appear on screen. If the heart rate receiver does not detect a signal for approximately two (2)
minutes, the program will stop. The same applies for the hand grips signal if is used.
CAUTION –
If the resistance is too high for your fitness level and you are unable to keep up with the program, press
STOP
to end the program. You may resume the exercise at a lower level of intensity (e.g., 60%). If this is still too difficult, do not
use the
Heart Rate Control program
until your level of fitness allows you to complete the workout at the desired target
heart rate.
To select the
Heart Rate Control program
1. Press the
INCREASE/DECREASE
keys until
Heart Rate Control program
(HR CTRL) is displayed on the screen.
Press the
JustGo
TM
key to accept. Press
JustGo
TM
key to accept.
2. Enter the desired workout time
using the
INCREASE/DECREASE
keys. Press the
JustGo
TM
key to accept.
3. Select the training zone %: e.g. Training Zones
►
WARM UP (50-59% of maximum heart rate)
►
FAT BURN (60-69% of maximum heart rate)
►
AEROBIC (70-79% of maximum heart rate)
►
ANAEROBIC (80-89% of maximum heart rate)
4. If desired, modify the beats per minute
(BPM) calculated by the computer following the zone chosen at point 5, using the
INCREASE/DECREASE
keys. You may only adjust the percentage within the preset zone range. Press the
JustGo
TM
key to start the Warm Up.
Alternatively, to select the
Heart Rate Control program
1. Press the
CARDIO PROGRAMS
key
repeatedly until
Heart Rate Control program
(HR CTRL) is displayed on the
screen. Press the
JustGo
TM
key
to accept.
2. Follow steps 2 to 3 listed above.
3.11 HEART RATE INTERVALS PROGRAM
The Heart Rate Interval Program combines the benefits of interval training with the accuracy of heart rate training. This
combination makes the Heart Rate Interval Program one of the most effective ways to increase metabolism, burn fat,
increase average pace and naturally produce human growth hormones. During the Heart Rate Interval Program the
computer will automatically alternate between two heart rate % targets selected by the user. The possible values are
between 55% and 85% of the user’s maximum heart rate. Once a heart rate target is reached the intensity is maintained for
the duration of the interval time before alternating to the other target.
