Heart Rate Control Programs

HEART RATE CONTROL

Constant HRC is the best-known type of HRC, and is the easiest to use. The elliptical will gradually raise your heart rate so that you reach your target within 5 to 7 minutes.

Note that as you tire during your workout, especially in the last third, workload will usually have to be reduced to keep you at a steady target heart rate.

Cruise Control is the simplest way to enter Constant HRC training. While in manual or any program you can enter Constant HRC by simply pressing the Heart Rate Control key. Your current heart rate will be set as the target.

For best results, you should be at least five minutes into your workout and warmed up. This will allow Cruise Control to more accurately control your heart rate.

Remember, you must be wearing a chest strap, and your heart rate should be displayed in the Heart Rate window.

To change your target heart rate press Heart Rate Control. Edit
