Heart Rate Control Workout

Warm Up Stage

Increase speed and grade gradually to slowly increase your heart rate to within 10 bpm of your target. For best results, you should take about five minutes to get to that point.

The treadmill will operate in a manually-controlled mode during the warm-up stage. You control both speed and grade. You may only increase speed and grade to the preset maximum values entered. It is important that you start at a low level of perceived exertion and gradually increase your work load over several minutes until you approach your target heart rate. This allows your body to adapt to your workout. Increasing work load gradually will allow you to enter the heart rate control stage without overshooting your target.

NOTE: Warming up too fast may cause you to overshoot your target. If this occurs it may take several minutes before the computer software can control your heart rate. You may overshoot and undershoot your target for several minutes until stable control is achieved.

Heart Rate Control Stage

When your heart rate is 10 beats away from your target, the computer software takes control of the treadmill at this point. The time window will reset and begin descending from the time you originally entered in the setup of the workout parameters.

The treadmill’s computer now controls all speed and grade changes. The treadmill will gradually continue to increase your workload until you reach your selected target heart rate.

Note: Do not touch any keys. Touching any key before

pressing first will immediately exit you from heart
