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 either placing both hands on the pulse
sensors, or using a chest strap.
•
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
