CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING & OPERATION
PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS (continued):
HRC Target:
Users choose their target heart rate. The treadmill begins in MANUAL control – The user should gradually increase the
workout intensity until heart rate is within 10 bpm of their target. At this point, the treadmill takes over to control speed
and incline to maintain heart rate within a few beats of the user’s target.
HRC Weight Loss:
Based on age, this is a heart rate controlled workout at 65% of the user’s maximum heart rate. This creates efficient fat
burning without overtraining. The treadmill begins in MANUAL control –The user should gradually increase the workout
intensity until their heart rate is within 10 bpm of their target. At this point, the treadmill takes over to control speed and
incline to maintain heart rate within a few beats of the user’s target.
HRC Aerobic:
Based on age, this is a heart rate controlled workout at 80% of the user’s maximum heart rate. This keeps the user in the
optimum aerobic training range to improve cardio fitness. The treadmill begins in MANUAL control - gradually increase
the workout intensity until the user’s heart rate is within 10 bpm of their target. At this point, the treadmill takes over to
control speed and incline to maintain heart rate within a few beats of the user’s target.
HRC Intervals:
Intervals of WORK and REST determined by target heart rate. The treadmill begins in MANUAL control –
Users should gradually increase their workout intensity until their heart rate is within 10 bpm of their target. At
this point, the treadmill takes over to control speed and incline to maintain the user’s HR within a few beats of
their target. The rest segment will reduce to 65% intensity of work segment.
Fitness Test:
A fitness test uses heart rate to estimate the user’s VO2 max. The test increases SPEED and INCLINE gradually every
minute and ends at the point where the user’s heart rate reaches 85% of the maximum for their age.
