TARGET HEART RATE PROGRAME (HR SPEED, HR INCLINE)
: A workout designed to keep you in your specified
target heart rate zone. This workout requires you to wear a wireless heart rate strap. See next page for calculating
your target heart rate.
HR SPPED
: Program adjusts speed to bring to your target heart rate.
HR INCLINE
: Program adjusts incline to bring to your target heart rate.
HEART RATE TRAINING
The first step in knowing the right intensity for your training is to find out your maximum heart rate (max HR
= 220 – your age). The age-based method provides an average statistical prediction of your max HR and is a good method for the
majority of people, especially those new to heart rate training. The most precise and accurate way of determining your individual
max HR is to have it clinically tested by a cardiologist or exercise physiologist through the use of a maximal stress test. If you are
over the age of 40, overweight, have been sedentary for several years, or have a history of heart disease in your family, clinical
testing is recommended. This chart gives examples of the heart rate range for a 30 year old exercising at 5 different heart rate zones.
For example, a 30-year-old’s max HR is 220 – 30 = 190 bpm and 90% max HR is 190 × 0.9 = 171 bpm.

Your target heart rate should be set at a number that you will be able to exercise at throughout the majority of your
workout. Once you have chosen your target rate, press the ‘START’ button and begin your workout.
TARGET HEART RATE NOTE:
• The chest strap is required to use the HRC program, with HRC program you can only choose time as your workout target.
• Target heart rate is selected in multiples of 5 beats.
• Warm-up and cool-down each last 4 minutes.
• After warm-up 4 minutes, the speed or incline will automatically adjust to bring you near your specified heart rate.
• The display shows your heart rate during exercise. If you are working out beneath your THR, the treadmill will
adjust speed or incline accordingly to bring you near your target.
• If there is no heart rate detected, the unit will not change the speed or incline level, and in speed remaining at the
same level for maximum 60 seconds and then the console will show “NO HEART RATE DETECTED” and speed
will decrease until the minimum speed is reached.
• If your heart rate is 25 beats over your target zone, the program will shut down.
