Cardio
The Cardio program guides your workout to maximize cardiovascular benefits,
like training for a race.
Use the Up Arrow (
) and Down Arrow (
) keys to enter
the program settings as prompted: Age and Target Heart Rate. The recommended
target heart rate is
80%
of your theoretical maximum heart rate (TMHR = 220
– age). The program begins with a warm-up. If you reach your target heart rate
during the warm-up, the warm-up ends and the heart rate control portion begins.
The resistance will automatically adjust to keep you working out at your target
heart rate. At any time during the program you can change your target heart rate
by pressing the Level (
/
) buttons and Enter.
Example for a 40-year-old person:
220 – 40 yrs. old = 180 TMHR
180 * .80 = 144 Target heart rate
Example for a 40-year-old person:
220 – 40 yrs. old = 180 TMHR
180 * .65 = 117 Target heart rate
Fat Burn
The Fat Burn program guides your workout to maximize the percentage of
calories burned from fat versus carbohydrates.
Use the Up Arrow (
) and Down
Arrow (
) keys to enter the program settings as prompted: Age and Target Heart
Rate. The recommended target heart rate is
65%
of your theoretical maximum
heart rate (TMHR = 220 – age). The program begins with a warm-up. If you reach
your target heart rate during the warm-up, the warm-up ends and the heart
rate control portion begins. The resistance will automatically adjust to keep you
working out at your target heart rate. At any time during the program you can
change your target heart rate by pressing the Level (
/
