Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate

A dedicated window displays your heart rate while exercising. To view your heart rate (beats per minute) on the display, either wear a chest strap or grasp both touch- sensitive handrail grips.

Note: The EFX5.31 does not have the touch-sensitive handrail grips so you must purchase the optional chest strap transmitter to monitor your heart rate.

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 EFX includes a program that lets you exercise based on a specified target heart rate. As you exercise, the Basic HRC Program monitors your heart rate and automatically maintains it within a few beats per minute (bpm) of your selected target.

To use this program, press the PROGRAMS - HEART RATE key. For more information, refer to Programs.

Heart Rate Analysis

Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or touch-sensitive handrail grips, the EFX provides a heart rate analysis after the workout summary.

Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum heart rate achieved during your workout. A third display appears, if you entered your age, and indicates the amount of time your heart rate remained between the target zones shown.

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