WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS 

HEART RATE CONTROL

Your Matrix stepper offers a heart rate control workout mode. 

The heart rate control workout mode allows the user to program 

their desired heart rate zone and the machine will adjust the 

resistance automatically based on the user’s heart rate. The 

heart rate zone is calculated using the following equation: 

(220-Age)*% = target heart rate zone. The user must wear a 

telemetric heart rate monitor or continually hold onto the contact 

heart rate grips for this workout.”
