HRC
Introduction
TRUE’s HRC workout lets the bike monitor your relative exercise
intensity by way of your heart rate, then automatically adjust the
workload to keep you at your desired exercise intensity.
Your heart rate is a good measure of your body’s exercise stress
level. It reflects differences in your physical condition, how tired
you are, the comfort of the workout environment, even your diet
and emotional state. Thus, using heart rate to control workload
takes the guesswork out of your workout settings.
Consult your physician before using HRC workouts for advice on
selecting a target heart rate range. Also, it is important to use the
bike for several workouts in the Manual mode while monitoring
your heart rate. Compare your heart rate with how you feel to
ensure your safety and comfort.
You need to wear a heart rate monitoring chest strap to use HRC.
See the “Monitoring Your Heart Rate” section in
Chapter 1
for a
guide to proper usage.
