2. Press the ‘HRC’ key under Cruise Control on the Console. A screen will display showing “Target HRC 1”. (If the key is
pressed again, “Target HRC 2” will be displayed).
3. Choose between Target HRC 1 or Target HRC 2 and then press the ‘Enter’ key on the Menu Navigation panel. A series of
set-up screens will be displayed. They will require the following data entries:
a. Age
b. Weight
c. Time (workout duration)
d. Target Heart Rate
e. Maximum Speed
f. Maximum Incline
4.
The next screen will ask which of the five Workout Preset Data Storage Areas does the user want this workout to be saved
to (each User Profile has five Workout Preset Data Storage Areas available).
Note:
Saving new workout preset data into a Workout Data Storage Area that already has workout preset data stored in it will
overwrite the existing data with the new data. The old data will be lost.

After a brief pause, a three second count-down will commence and then the HRC workout will begin.
Warm Up:
At the beginning of an HRC workout, the treadmill is in full Manual Control mode. Users should gradually increase the
workout intensity to slowly raise their heart rate to within 10 beats per minute (bpm) of their target heart rate. The
treadmill will operate as if in manual mode during the warm up stage. Users control both speed and incline. The user
may only increase speed and incline to the present maximum values entered. It is important that the user starts at a low
level of perceived exertion and gradually increase the workout intensity over several minutes until they approach their
target heart rate. This allows the body to adapt to the workout. Increasing the workout intensity gradually will allow the
user to enter the heart rate control stage without overshooting their target, keeping their heart rate within a few bpm of
their target.
Note:
Warming up too fast may cause the user to overshoot their target. If this occurs it may take several minutes before the computer
software can control their heart rate. Users may overshoot and undershoot for several minutes until control is achieved.
Heart Rate Control Stage:
The treadmill takes control of speed and incline, keeping the user’s heart rate within a few bpm of their target. When
using the Interval HRC Workout, the treadmill alternates between work and rest intervals.
Cool-Down:
At the end of the workout time or distance, the treadmill reduces the workout intensity by half and goes back into
Manual Control mode, where users directly control their cool-down.
HRC Workout Summary:
Once the workout is complete, a Workout Summary will be displayed.
