Spirit ET4, ET2 How the Heart Rate Control Program Works, Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program

How the Heart Rate Control Program Works:

Heart Rate Control uses your treadmill￿s incline system to adjust your heart rate. Increases and decreases in elevation affect heart rate much more efficiently than changes in speed. Additionally, changes in incline keep you in control of the machine￿s speed instead of the machine controlling you.

Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program:

You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (H-1) program or the Cardiovascular (H-2) program. The Weight Control program attempts to maintain your heart rate at 70% of your Maximum Heart Rate. The Cardiovascular program attempts to maintain your heart rate at 90% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Your Maximum Heart Rate is based upon a formula that subtracts your age from 220. Your age input is performed during the setup mode.

CAUTION!

The target value used in H-1 and H-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower target goal.
