Programs 11 and 12:

These unique programs allow the computer to
adjust the workout resistance according to your
heart rate automatically. Grasp the pulse sensors
and hold with a firm grip. If the current Heart Rate is
greater than the Target Heart Rate, the computer
will decrease the workout resistance automatically.
If your current Heart Rate is less than your Target
Heart Rate it will increase your resistance. By the
resistance changing, the machine will be able to
keep your heart rate at its target beats 
per minute.

When used properly, the heart rate pulse 
sensors and display monitor provide a 
reasonably accurate estimate of your actual
heart rate. This estimate is not exact and 
persons with medical conditions and/or a 
specific need for accurate heart rate 
monitoring should not rely on the 
estimations provided.

Important:

You must keep your hands on the

pulse sensors throughout the entire workout
when using Programs 11 and 12.

Important:

Be sure to set your actual age when

using these programs.

Program 11:

is designed to allow you to work 
out at 60% of maximum heart rate
(Target Heart Rate)

Program 12:

is designed to allow you to work 
out at 85% of maximum heart rate
(Target Heart Rate)
