HeartRateTraining Programs

The TreadClimber® offers two HR training programs. NOTE: For best results, use a HR strap. Contact HR grips may provide a less accurate reading and can lead to a less effective workout, due to holding onto the TreadClimber.

Constant Heart Rate Control

This program is designed to maintain your HR at a constant level by varying your walking speed over the course of the workout. Note that your HR will vary above and below the target rate during the program.

When you select this program, the console will prompt you to enter the total time desired for the workout (5 - 99 minutes), user weight and your target HR (70 - 200 bpm). When all parameters are entered, the workout will begin and continue for the time entered.

Heart Rate Intervals

This program is designed to gradually elevate your heart rate to the upper end of your selected training range, then gradually decrease your heart rate to the lower end of your training range by setting Incline Level to 5 and varying speed. During the workout, this cycle will repeat several times, creating an interval training effect that is customized to your desired training range.

When you select this program, the console will prompt you to enter the total time desired for the workout (5 - 99 minutes), user weight and your Lower and Upper Target HR (70 - 200 bpm). When all parameters are entered, the workout will begin and continue for the time entered.

NOTE: during setup, there must be at least an 18 BPM difference between the lower and upper HR limits to ensure an interval workout.
