HRC (heart rate control)
HRC programs work by automatically
adjusting the resistance to keep you working
out at your target heart rate. To do this
the console will need your pulse reading
throughout the exercise, which it gets
from you placing both hands on the pulse
sensors.
If your heart rate is too high the resistance is
decreased
If your heart rate is too low the resistance is
increased
This console features 4 heart rate control
programs:
•
55% - targeted to operate at 55% of your
maximum heart rate
•
75% - targeted to operate at 75% of your
maximum heart rate
•
90% - targeted to operate at 90% of your
maximum heart rate
•
Target – you can set your own target
heart rate

highlight ‘HRC’
