HOW TO USE A HEART RATE WORKOUT
1. Press any button on the console or begin ped- aling to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the displays and the target pacer coach will light. A tone will then sound and the console will be ready for use.
2. Select a heart rate workout.
To select one of the heart rate workouts, press the Heart Rate 1 or the Heart Rate 2 button on the left side of the console.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting. A few seconds after you
select a heart rate workout, the target heart rate setting for the workout will flash in the lower right display.
During heart rate workout 1, the same target heart rate setting will be programmed for all seg- ments of the workout. If you have selected heart rate workout 1, press the increase and decrease buttons above the Heart Rate buttons to enter the desired target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23).
During heart rate workout 2, different target heart rate settings will be programmed for different segments of the workout. If you have selected heart rate workout 2, press the increase and decrease buttons above the Heart Rate buttons to enter the desired maximum target heart rate set- ting for the workout (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23).
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen- sor continuously during heart rate workouts; how- ever, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the workouts to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
5.Begin pedaling to start the workout. Heart rate workout 1 is divided into 40 one- minute segments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or select a different workout before the workout ends.
Heart rate workout 2 is divided into 30 one- minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for consecutive segments.
During the workout, the workout profile in the left display will show your progress. The flashing seg- ment of the profile represents the current segment of the workout. The height of the flashing segment indicates the target heart rate setting for the cur- rent segment. At the end of each segment of the workout, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash.
During both workouts, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for the current segment of the workout. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. Each time the resistance changes, the resistance level will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you.
