INTRODUCTION TO HRC
CHAPTER FIVE: HEART RATE CONTROL
TRUE's HRC workouts allow the ESX, TSXa + TSX to monitor your relative exercise intensity by way of your heart rate, and automatically adjust the workload to keep you at your target heart rate and thus your desired exercise intensity.
Your heart rate is a good measure of your body's exercise stress level. It reflects differences in your physical condition, how tired you are, the comfort of the workout environment, even your diet and emotional state. Using heart rate to control workload takes the guesswork out of your workout settings.
Consult your physician before using HRC workouts for advice on selecting a target heart rate range. Also, it is important to use the ESX, TSXa + TSX for several workouts in the manual mode while monitoring your heart rate. Compare your heart rate with how you feel to ensure your safety and comfort.
See Appendix A for a chart that will help you select a target heart rate.
You should wear a heart rate monitoring chest strap to use HRC. See the "Heart Rate Monitoring" section in Chapter 1 for a guide to proper usage. It is not recommended that you use the contact heart rate system for HRC workouts.
