HOW to USE a Heart Rate Program, Enter your age

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM

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 25 years old, your maximum heart rate is 195.) Heart Rate program 9 is designed to keep your heart rate between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate while you exercise; Heart Rate program 10 is designed to keep your heart rate

between 65% and 80% of your maximum heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.

1 Turn on the console.

Refer to step 1 on page 12.

2 Select one of the two Heart Rate programs.

Each time the console is

turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a Heart Rate pro-

gram, press the

Program button repeatedly until the number 9 or

10 appears in the upper right corner of the display.

The profiles numbered 9 and 10 on the console show the resistance settings for the Heart Rate programs. For example, profile number 9 shows that when Heart Rate program 9 is selected, the resistance level will gradually increase during the program and then decrease near the end.

3 Enter your age.

When a Heart Rate program is selected, the word

AGE and the current age setting will flash in the display (see the drawing above). You must enter your age to use a Heart Rate program. To enter your age, press the + or – button. Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory until the batteries are replaced.

	When using a Heart Rate program, you must use
	the handgrip pulse sensor. It is not necessary to
	hold the handgrips continuously during the pro-
	gram. However, you should hold the handgrips
	frequently 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 dis- play instead of your heart rate.

5 Start the program.

To start the program, simply begin exercising. Each Heart Rate program consists of 20 one- minute periods. One resistance setting and one heart rate setting are programmed for each peri- od. (The same resistance setting and/or heart rate setting may be programmed for consecutive periods.)

During the program, the resistance of the exer- cise cycle will automatically change as shown by the applicable profile on the console. If the cur- rent resistance level is too high or too low, you can adjust the resistance level by pressing the + and – buttons. However, when the current period of the program is completed, the resistance level

will automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next period.

As you exercise,

the pace indica- tors will help you to keep your heart rate near the heart rate setting for the

current period.

The left pace indicator will show your actual exer- cise pace. The right pace indicator will show a target pace. When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the console will compare your heart rate

to the heart rate setting for the current period. If necessary, the right pace indicator will then change to prompt you to increase or decrease

your pace to bring your heart rate closer to the current heart rate setting. When the
