3 HEART SYNCTM EXERCISE PROGRAMS

3.1WHY HEART SYNC WORKOUTS?

Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to monitor the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the Heart Sync approach to exercise.

Heart Sync workouts identify an exerciser's ideal heart rate range for burning fat or increasing cardiovascular fitness. The values within the range depend on the workout.

NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.

The exercise bike features five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the bene- fits of Heart Sync exercise: FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTER- VAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE. For detailed information about these workouts, see Section 4, titled The Workouts.

During one of these workouts, grasp the handpulse sensors or wear the wireless heart rate chest strap to enable the exercise bike’s on-board computer to monitor the heart rate. The computer automatically adjusts the resistance level to maintain the target heart rate* based on the actual heart rate. To change the target heart rate during a workout, use the ARROW keys.
