Precor 5.33, 5.23 manual Hrc, Heart Rate Control HRC Program

Heart Rate Control (HRC) Program

HRC

The Heart Rate Control Program lets you set a target for your heart rate. The program adjusts the resistance to maintain your heart rate within two beats per minute of the target heart rate while you exercise. To use this program, you must wear the chest strap so the program can monitor your heart rate throughout the session.

During your workout, the number that represents your heart rate appears in the Heart Rate display.

For information about understanding your target heart rate, refer to Heart Rate Features.

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, use the appropriate RESISTANCE arrow keys to change the target heart rate once you finish the warm-up period. Do not exercise over the recommended range.

Warm-up Period

The EFX provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this time, you may change the resistance or ramp incline.

Note: If your heart rate moves into the target heart rate zone during the 3-minute warm-up period, the warm-up period ends and the Heart Rate Control Program begins.
