Heart Rate Programs

HEART

RATE

The Basic HRC Program, available by pressing the HEART RATE key, adjusts the CrossRamp to maintain your heart rate within two beats per minute of the target heart rate while you exercise. To use this program, you must enter your age and wear a chest strap or grasp the touch-sensitive handrail grips so your heart rate can be monitored throughout the session.

Important: Consult your physician to determine the appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness level. If your physician recommends a different target heart rate than the one that appears on the display adjust it accordingly. Do not exercise over the recommended range of 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate.

Heart Rate Program Tips

The Basic HRC Program enhances your overall cardiovascular fitness level to help you achieve your weight loss and fitness goals. Read through the following tips before selecting a program. These tips provide general information regarding how the program functions. For more information and exercise suggestions, refer to the Precor web site at www.precor.com.

•Each program provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this time, you may change the CrossRamp or resistance, but you cannot adjust the time or change to a distance or calorie goal. At the end of the warm-up period, the program automatically controls the resistance. Pressing the RESISTANCE arrow keys has no affect.

Note: When your target heart rate is achieved or the

3-minute period elapses, the warm-up period ends and the program begins.

•The program sets the target heart rate as a percentage of 220 minus your age. Changing the target heart rate your stride rate or CrossRamp affects the unit’s ability to maintain your target heart rate in the preferred zone. It takes time for the EFX to readjust the resistance so that your heart rate remains on target. Check the SmartRate and the HEART RATE displays to see if you are maintaining your preferred zone and to determine your actual heart rate. For information about understanding your target heart rate, refer to Heart Rate Features.

•Changes to the CrossRamp are reflected in the program’s profile. Automatic resistance changes appear in the RESISTANCE display.

•To change the program, select a different PROGRAMS key and press OK.

•A cool-down period is incorporated into the program.
