Heart rate program 9 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 65% and 85% of your
maximum heart
rate
during your workout. Heart rate program 10 is
designed to keep your heart rate between 65% and
80% of your
maximum heart rate
during your workout.
Note: Your maximum heart rate is estimated by sub-
tracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 25
years old, your maximum heart rate is 195 beats per
minute.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the two heart rate programs.
Each time the
console is
turned on, the
manual mode
will be selected.
To select a heart
rate program,
press the
Program Select button repeatedly until the num-
ber 9 or 10 appears in the upper right corner of
the display.
The profiles numbered 9 and 10 on the right side
of the console show the resistance settings for
the heart rate programs. For example, profile
number 9 shows that when heart rate program 9
is selected, the resistance level will gradually
increase during the program and then decrease
near the end.
Enter your age.
When a heart rate program is selected, the word
AGE and the current age setting will flash in the
display (see the drawing above). Press the + or –
button repeatedly to enter your age. Once you
have entered your age, your age will be saved in
memory until the batteries are replaced.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, it is not necessary to
hold the handgrips continuously during the pro-
gram; however, you should hold the handgrips fre-
quently for the program to operate properly.
Each
time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands
on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Note: When you are not holding the handgrips, the
letters PLS will appear in the display instead of
your heart rate.
Start the program.
To start the program, simply begin pedaling. Each
heart rate program consists of 20 one-minute
periods. One resistance setting and one heart
rate setting are programmed for each period.
(The same resistance setting and/or heart rate
setting may be programmed for two or more con-
secutive periods.)
During the program, the resistance of the elliptical
exerciser will automatically change as shown by
the applicable profile on the console. Note: If the
current resistance level is too high or too low, you
can adjust the resistance level by pressing the +
or – button. However, when the current period of
the program is completed, the resistance level will
automatically change if a different resistance set-
ting is programmed for the next period.
As you pedal, the
pace indicators
will help you to
keep your heart
rate near the cur-
rent target heart
rate. The left
indicator will
show your actual pedaling pace. The right indica-
tor will show a target pace. When you hold the
handgrip pulse sensor, the console will compare
your heart rate to the current target heart rate. If
necessary, the right indicator will then change in
height to prompt you to increase or decrease your
pace to bring your heart rate closer to the target
heart rate. When the right indicator changes in
height, increase or decrease your pace so that
both indicators are at the same height. If your
pace is slower than the current target pace, the
increase arrow will appear in the display; if your
pace is faster than the target pace, the decrease
arrow will appear.
