THR ~ TARGET HEART RATE PROGRAM
The TARGET HEART RATE PROGRAM is designed to keep your heart rate/pulse at the constant level you
have selected. Every 30 x seconds the computer will check your heart rate/pulse against what you have selected
and will automatically adjust the Resistance LEVELS accordingly. During your workout you can adjust your
Target Heart Rate value by pressing the SELECT Keys.
NOTE: During your workout you cannot adjust the Resistance LEVELS.
All Heart Rate Programs require a heart rate signal via a compatible Chest Strap.
To select a heart rate that is optimal for you, see CALCULATING TARGET HEART RATE.
While increasing your heart rate is an important part of exercise, it is also important that your heart rate is not too
high. To be safe we suggest that you start your workouts at the 60% and increase your heart rate % as your
fitness improves.
NOTE: The recommended absolute
Maximum Heart Rate
is equal to
220 bpm minus your age
.
