HRC (Heart Rate Control) Programs
The Executive Trainer is equipped with both Contact Heart Rate and Wireless Heart Rate (transmitter strap). Heart Rate
Control programs require the use of one of them.
The Executive 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. HRC training allows you to maximize
your workout performance while minimizing your workout time.
There are 2 different 20-segment heart rate control programs: HRC and Interval HRC
To Run an HRC program:
Press
MENU
->
Programs
->
HRC PROGRAMS
to display the HRC
Programs Selection Screen. Select HRC or Interval HRC.
If the default HRC Program displayed in the program preview suits
your needs, press
START
to begin. If you would like to modify it,
press
EDIT
instead.
This screen allows you to customize the program’s parameters.
Use the designated “+/-” keys or the numeric keypad to adjust the
Program Time, Maximum Speed, Maximum Grade and Target Pulse.
Press
GRADE
key to toggle between Max Speed and Grade.
Once you are content with your modifications, press

or

As soon as you start the program, the Program Progress Screen
becomes available as one of the motivational screens. You can press
NEXT
or

to view the other motivational screens. Also, you
can press the designated key to view your heart rate zone.
The Program Progress Screen displays program time and heart rate.
Your heart rate (black line) will slowly graph itself during the
program attempting to stay between the Max Heart Rate (red dashed
line) and the Min Heart Rate (green dashed line).
Once the program is complete or you choose to prematurely terminate it by selecting the designated “
Exit Program
” key, the
treadmill will automatically default back into Manual Mode.
• HRC keeps the user’s heart rate at the target
heart rate for the duration of the workout.
• Interval HRC targets different heart rates.
It alternates between the target and 80% of
the target.
