Heart Rate Mode

HEART RATE MODE

The treadmill may be used at any time in the Heart Rate Mode. The Heart Rate program is designed to keep your heart at a desired amount of “beats per minute” by automatically adjusting the incline. For example, you have programmed in a desired heart rate of 125 BPM and your heart rate is only at 110 BPM. If you are wearing the Chest Strap Transmitter correctly, the incline will automatically increase to intensify the work load, causing your heart rate to slowly climb to 125 BPM. It is suggested that the Chest Strap Transmitter be positioned as close to your heart as possible, against the skin, 1-2 inches below the pectoral muscles. The PULSE light on the console will blink when the Chest Strap signal is reaching the console. The treadmill will attempt to maintain your target heart rate through adjustments to the incline for the remainder of your workout. In the same respect, if your heart rate is above your programmed amount of BPM’s, the incline will automatically decrease to lower your heart rate. See Figure 3, Figure 4, and sec- tion entitled”Monitoring Your Heart Rate” for additional information on TARGET HEART RATES.

The Heart Rate Mode is safe and easy to understand. The user first sets the maximum Incline, Heart Rate Target and Time. The workout is divided into three stages: Warm Up, Heart Rate Interactive and Cool Down. In the Warm Up stage the treadmill is in MANUAL mode while the user adjusts Speed and Incline while approaching Target Heart Rate. The Warm Up stage ends and the Heart Rate INTERACTIVE Mode begins when the user’s Target Heart Rate is within 10 beats of the preset Target Heart Rate. The treadmill will take over and adjust Incline in .5 increments up to the maximum Incline programmed to keep user’s Heart Rate within 10 beats of preset target. In the COOL DOWN stage the treadmill is in MANUAL mode while the user gradually decreases INCLINE and SPEED to slowly cool down.

HEART RATE PRESET PROGRAM OVERVIEW

There are a total of 14 different Heart Rate Programs. These are divided into three groups. The following is a brief description of each of the three groups.

Time Based Target Heart Rate Programs- Programs are all Time based. There are five different programs in this group. You may preset your Target Heart Rate and maximum Incline.
