C956 HEART RATE COURSE

Once you set your target heart rate and the running belt’s speed, the C956 Heart Rate Course monitors your heart rate and automatically maintains it within a few beats per minute (bpm) of the selected target. Blinking lights on the Smart Rate® bar graph appear to show the “zone” that you are in.

Note: For the C956 to detect a heart rate, the user must wear the POLAR®chest strap or hold onto the touch-sensitive grips on the handrail. The POLAR® chest strap and touch-sensitive handrail are optional equipment that can be purchased from your dealer.

To use the Heart Rate Course follow the steps found in Quick Steps to Working Out (page 34) and choose the appropriate program number at the Course prompt. (Age must be entered during the Setup prompts.) Once you have finished an- swering the remaining Setup prompts, the following occurs:

•The software verifies that it detects a heart rate signal.You need to press the Speed ▲ key to begin your workout.

Note: If your heart rate cannot be detected (or transmitted through the POLAR® chest strap or touch-sensitive grips ), three dashes (- - -) appear in the Heart Rate display.

•The treadmill provides a 3-minute warm-up period before entering the Heart Rate Course. During this time, you may make changes to the target heart rate by using the Numeric keypad or Incline ▲▼ keys. Use the Speed ▼▲ keys to set the running belt’s speed.

Note: If your heart rate moves into the target zone for your age during the 3-minute warm-up period, the Heart Rate Course begins concurrently.

•After the warm-up period, the treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to keep your heart rate at the selected target. Check the Smart Rate®display to see if you are in your preferred zone (cardiovascular or weight loss).

Note: You can change your target heart rate (Incline ▼▲ keys) or speed (Speed ▲▼ keys) anytime during a workout, but doing so affects the treadmill’s ability to maintain your target heart rate. If you change your target heart rate, the treadmill slowly readjusts the incline so that your heart rate remains on target.

Important: A warning message will appear if you go above your maximum recommended heart rate target zone. Heed the warning and get permission from your personal physician before working out above the maximum recom- mended zone for your age and fitness level. See Diagram 20 on page 37 for the recommended training zones.

•When you reach the time limit, a cool-down period begins.You can override the speed and incline by pressing the ▼ or ▲ keys.

Note: The speed remains constant, if you were at or below 1 mph (1.6 kph).
