USING HEART RATE TRAINING
WHAT IS HEART RATE TRAINING?
Heart Rate Training means exercising at an intensity that keeps you in your ideal heart rate zone. Your personal heart rate training zone depends on your fitness goal, such as weight loss, cardiovascular endurance, or strength building. Refer to Page 66 for more information on heart rate training zones. VISION FITNESS HRT® programs are set up to keep you at an ideal heart rate based on your fitness goal. These programs automatically adjust resistance based on your heart rate readings.
The Premier console features three programs (Target HRT, HRT Hill, and HRT Interval) that offer the benefits of Heart Rate Training.
•These programs use the predicted maximum heart rate formula (220 minus age) to determine your predicted maximum heart rate. Some individuals have higher or lower maximum heart rates than determined by this formula. The programs allow you to modify your Target Heart Rate to achieve your personal goals.
HAND PULSE HEART RATE SENSORS
The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors are included on each product to monitor your heart rate. To use, grasp the sensors with a comfortable grip during your workout. The console will display your heart rate. Although your signal will be displayed immediately, it may take the system a few seconds to zero in on your actual heart rate.
NOTE: The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors will work for the HRT® programs, | 53 |
but it is recommended to use the telemetric chest strap for an uninterrupted signal and ease of use.
