The Cardio Trainer is equipped with both Contact Heart Rate and Wireless Heart Rate (transmitter strap). Heart Rate
Control programs require the use one of them.
The Cardio Trainer has the ability not only to display your heart rate, but also to automatically vary the speed and elevation
based upon your heart rate via its Heart Rate Control (HRC) programs. Target training allows you to maximize your
workout performance while minimizing your workout time.
Program Protocols: HRC vs. Interval HRC
• HRC Program maintains the user’s heart rate at the target throughout the duration of the training segments.
• Interval HRC Program alternates between the target and 80% of target, giving the user an opportunity to exercise at
different intensity levels.
