HEART RATE CONTROL (HRC) Workouts
The HRC workouts are accessible from the top level workouts screen. A HRC workout
allows the user to select from two diff erent modes of operation that automatically adjust re-
sistance based on the user’s current measured heart rate and heart rate targets established
during the program setup.
The two available HRC program options includes the following:
1. Constant HR
2. Interval HR
HRC Workout - CONSTANT HR
For a CONSTANT HR workout the user shall fi rst enter their Age and Target HR for the
workout. The Target HR is initially determined based on the following formula:
TARGET HR
= (220 - AGE) x 0.7
The above equation essentially states that the suggested target is 70% of the user’s sug-
gested maximal heart rate.
As an example, for a 40 year old, the suggested TARGET HR is (220-40) x 70% or 180 x 0.7
or 126 BPM. Note that when the entry for AGE is changed, the displayed TARGET HR also
changes based on the equation defi ned above. Should the user want to increase or decrease
the suggested TARGET HR value they can do so simply by using the applicable PLUS or MI-
NUS buttons to adjust.
