HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS

Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart rate is 190.) Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maxi- mum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate pro- gram 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

1

Press any button on the console or begin

pedaling to turn on the console.

 

See step 1 on page 12.

2 Select one of the heart rate programs.

When the power is turned on, the manu- al mode will be selected. To select a heart rate program, press the Program

Select button repeat-

edly until an “H 1” or “H 2” appears in the right display.

During heart rate pro- grams, the matrix will show a moving graphic that repre- sents your heart rate. Each time a heart- beat is detected, an additional peak will appear.

3 Enter your age.

When a heart rate program is selected, the word “AGE” and the current age set- ting will flash in the left display. You must enter your age to use

a heart rate program. If you have already entered your age, press the Enter button and go to step

4.If you have not entered your age, press the + or – button repeatedly to enter your age, and then press the Enter button. Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.

4 Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

To use a heart rate program, you must use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 10) or the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips continuously during the program. However, you should hold the handgrips fre- quently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will appear in the right display instead of your heart rate.

Press the Program Start button or begin

5 pedaling to start the program.

When the program is started, the exercise cycle will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the first segment.

Each program is divided into 20 one-minute seg- ments. One resistance setting and one target heart rate setting are programmed for each seg- ment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.

During the last three seconds of each segment, a series of tones will sound. The resistance of the exercise cycle will then automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next segment.

As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help you to keep your heart rate near the target heart
