Heart Rate Training
The HEART RATE TRAINING programs are a collection of three (3) varied programs that regulate your
heart rate by varying workout intensity.
Your heart rate is detected by the machine when you grip the sensors on the handle bar, or wear a
5 KHz Polar compatible Heart Rate strap (sold separately) across your chest. To get a good heart rate
reading, your hands should be slightly moist when gripping the metal sensor pads on the handle bar, or
likewise, when wearing the heart rate strap across your chest, your skin should be slightly moist where
the sensor pads make contact.
5 Constant HR
The CONSTANT HR workout is programmed to help you maintain a chosen target heart rate by
automatically changing the level of intensity during your workout.
When setting up the CONSTANT HR program the MESSAGE DISPLAY will ask you to enter your age to
calculate your target heart rate and display it on the PROFILE DISPLAY. The Target Heart Rate for this
program is calculated as 70% of your theoretical maximum heart rate determined by your age using
the following formula: (220 BPM - Age) * 70%. For example, the target heart rate for a 40-year-old user
would be 126 BPM [(220-40) * 70%]. At this point you can change your target heart rate.
The minimum target heart rate that you will be allowed to ENTER is 80. The maximum target heart rate
is 200.
Note:
The HR programs may require the use of a heart rate transmitter chest strap.

Number of segments in workout is equal to Goal Time (i.e. this example profile assumes 30 minute duration which is why there are 30 segments)
This program is an easy way to keep you from becoming lazy during your workout. It is also a good
program to make sure that you are not working too hard during a recovery ride.
