Automatically adjust the resistance level to keep your heart rate in your desired range (see THR ZONE CHART on page 28).

While this range burns fat it really challenges the cardiovascular system and helps strengthen the heart.

80% of Max Heart Rate: For advanced users and short workouts. Burns fat, strengthens and tones muscles, and challenges the entire cardiovascular system.

HEART RATE

Pulse grips

Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

WIRELESS CHEST TRANSMITTER (EX-75 ONLY)

Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout. WARNING! The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid.
