CONSTANT & INTERVAL HRC

CHAPTER SEVEN: HEART RATE CONTROL

Constant HRC is the most well known type of HRC, and is the easiest to use. The bike will gradually raise your heart rate so that you reach your target within five to seven minutes. It keeps you there until 2.5 minutes before the end of your workout time, then reduces workload by half for a cooldown.

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.

To change your target heart rate, press the , keys to change one bpm at a time, or enter a new target with the

numeric keys and press .

This allows you to do a classic interval workout with the bike controlling all workloads, including the rest segments. After reaching your work target just like in Constant HRC, the workload is immediately reduced by 65%, then controlled so you reach your rest target within about three minutes.

As soon as you reach your rest target, the workload is immediately increased to the last workload attained in the work segment, then controlled to reach your target within about two minutes.

This pattern repeats until 2.5 minutes before the end of your workout time, then reduces workload to the last rest segment workload.

To change your work or rest targets, press the , keys to change one bpm at a time, or enter a new target with the

numeric keys and press .
