• If your heart rate is 26 beats per minute (bpm) or more below the target, there is no additional adjustment in incline.
This allows for a warm-up period. Raise your speed to increase your heart rate.
• If your heart rate is 3 to 25 bpm below the target, the incline increases. When you are below the target zone, a
green
heart
flashes on the dot matrix display.
This reminds you that you are below your target zone.
• If your heart rate is within 2 bpm of the target, there is no adjustment in incline. When you are within 3 bpm of the
target, an
orange heart
flashes on the dot matrix display.
This reminds you that you are in your target zone.
• If your heart rate is 3 or more bpm above the target, the incline decreases. If the treadmill reaches minimum incline
and your heart rate is still above the target, a “
decrease speed
” message scrolls across the display. When you are
above the target zone, a
red heart
flashes on the dot matrix display.
This reminds you that you are above
your target zone.
NOTE: The treadmill gives a visual and an audible warning before a change is made to your incline.
CARDIOVASCULAR PROGRAM (P10)
This program is for those whose primary fitness goal is to improve their aerobic fitness level and to improve sports per-
formance. The target heart rate is computed as:
(220-age) x 80%
For example, the cardiovascular target heart rate for a 45 -year old person is (220-45) x 80%. This equals a target heart
rate of 140 beats per minute.
If the workout is too strenuous, lower the target heart rate by pressing the
INCLINE DOWN ARROW
during the work-
out.
The cardiovascular program keeps you at your target heart rate by doing the following:
• You will control your speed until you reach your target heart rate zone, which is + or – 3 beats per minute (bpm) of
your target heart rate. When you are below the target zone, a
green heart
flashes on the dot matrix display.
This reminds you that you are below your target zone.
• Once the target zone of + or – 3 bpm of the target heart rate has been reached or exceeded, the heart rate control
algorithm begins to control both your speed and your incline.
• If your heart rate is within 2 bpm of the target, there are no speed or incline adjustments made. When you are within
2 bpm of the target, an
orange heart
flashes on the dot matrix display.
This reminds you that you are in your target zone.
• If your heart rate falls below the target zone, a green heart flashes on the dot matrix display. Your speed is
automatically increased by 0.2 MPH every 15 seconds until you have reached your target zone.
• If the treadmill has increased your speed by
1 MPH*
and you are still not within 2 bpm of your target, the treadmill
begins to raise the incline by 1% every 15 seconds.
• If your heart rate is 3 or more bpm above the target, the speed decreases by 0.2 MPH every 15 seconds until you reach
your target zone. When you are above the target zone, a
red heart
flashes on the dot matrix display.
This reminds you that you are above your target zone
.
• If the treadmill has decreased your speed by
1 MPH*
and you are still not within 2 bpm of your target, the treadmill
begins to decrease in incline by 1% every 15 seconds. If you are still above your target zone, lower your speed.
NOTE: The treadmill gives a visual and an audible warning before a change is made to your incline.
* The treadmill will only adjust your speed by 1 MPH maximum
.
