Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate

A heart rate receiver is an integral part of the display so you can monitor your heart rate while exercising. You must wear a chest strap (9.27 only) or grasp both touch- sensitive handrail grips and enter your age. Your heart rate (beats per minute) appears on the display.

Important: Enter an accurate age when queried otherwise a default age of 35 years is used for heart rate calculations.

The Precor web site (www.precor.com) has several suggestions for workouts with varying levels of intensity. It provides many workout details that include the appropriate target heart rate.

The 9.27 treadmill includes two programs, Heart Rate Fat Burn (P9) and Heart Rate Cardio (P10), which let you exercise based on a specified heart rate. Refer to Programs.

During the warm-up period, you can change the incline or speed using the INCLINE and SPEED arrow keys. Tapping the INCLINE key, displays your target heart rate (THR). When the warm-up period ends, the INCLINE keys affect the target heart rate and not the treadmill’s incline.

If you wish to adjust your target heart rate (THR) you can do so after selecting a program and completing the warm- up period.

To use the 9.27 programs, press the PROGRAMS key until the desired program, P9 or P10 appears. For more information, refer to Programs.

Note: The 9.23 does not contain programs that automatically maintain your heart rate within a target zone, but you can monitor your heart rate with any program if you use the touch-sensitive handrail grips. When you enter your age during the setup prompts, the SmartRate display provides a visual cue that helps keep you within the desired heart rate target zone.

Heart Rate Analysis

Every time you complete a program using the chest strap (9.27 only) or the touch-sensitive handrail grips, your average heart rate appears along with your workout summary statistics.

The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate signal is received while exercising. If you use the chest strap on the 9.27, the average heart rate will be more accurate than if you occasionally grasp the touch-sensitive handrail grips.
