HOW to USE a Heart Rate Program

During heart rate program 9, your heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your age-predicted maximum heart rate. (Note: Your age-predicted maximum heart rate is calculated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your age-pre- dicted maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute). During heart rate program 10, your heart rate will re- main near a target heart rate setting that you select.

CAUTION: If you have heart prob- lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the heart rate programs. If you are taking medication regu- larly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sen- sor to use a heart rate program. While using the chest pulse sensor, do not use the handgrip pulse sensor.

1 Put on the chest pulse sensor.

See page 23.

2 Insert the key into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 14.

3 Select a heart rate program.

To select a heart rate program, press the Program (PRGM.) button repeatedly until “P-9” or “P-10” appears in the right display.

If heart rate program 9 is selected, a profile of the target heart rate settings of the program will appear in the matrix in the left display.

If heart rate program 10 is selected, a pulse symbol will scroll across the matrix in the left display. Each time a heartbeat is detected, a peak will appear.

Enter a target heart rate setting for the

4 program.

If heart rate program 9 is selected, the word “RATE” will appear in the left display and the maximum target

heart rate setting of the pro- gram will begin to flash. If desired, change the maxi- mum target heart rate setting

by pressing the increase or decrease button below the

matrix (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 29). Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level of the entire program will change.

If heart rate program 10 is selected, the word “RATE” will appear in the left display and the tar- get heart rate setting for the program will begin to flash. If desired, change the target heart rate set- ting by pressing the increase or decrease button below the matrix (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 29).

Press the Start button or the Speed increase

5 button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the tread- mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

Heart rate program 9 is divided into 30 one- minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. (The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.)

Heart rate program 10 is divided into several one-minute segments. The same target heart rate setting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a shorter workout, simply stop the program before it ends.
