UTILIZING THE SMART RATE
®
FEATURE
Add the benefit of Smart Rate to every course on the EFX. Using Smart Rate as a
visual cue helps you adjust your exercise routine to suit specific needs. Smart
Rate simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. You don’t have to
stop concentrating on your workout to find your pulse. It is displayed right in front of
you along with the Smart Rate zone. Once you begin a course, a blinking segment
in the bar graph appears on the left of the display (if you entered your age during the
Setup prompts). The blinking segment indicates the zone that your heart rate is in:
Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.
Important: Access to Smart Rate is only available when the person exercising
wears a POLAR
®
chest strap or uses the touch-sensitive grips on the handrails.
(The POLAR
®
chest strap is a separate purchase option.) The touch-sensitive grips
on the stationary handrails are standard equipment. The Smart Rate indicator lights
do not appear when Quick Start is used to select a course.
For the ideal “weight loss” range, your heart rate should be between 55% and 70%
of your maximum aerobic heart rate. It should never exceed 80% of your maxi-
mum aerobic heart rate or go above your training zone. Refer to Diagram 11 for
your appropriate training zone.
When you maintain your heart rate between 70% and 80% of your maximum
aerobic heart rate, you are improving your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespira-
tory fitness level. Maintaining your heart rate in either zone (weight loss or cardio-
vascular) for 30 minutes or more on a regular basis (minimum three times a week)
provides the greatest benefits.
