HEART RATE CONTROL
Your Matrix stepper offers a heart rate control workout mode.
The heart rate control workout mode allows the user to program
their desired heart rate zone and the machine will adjust the
resistance automatically based on the user’s heart rate. The
heart rate zone is calculated using the following equation:
