Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate

A heart rate receiver is an integral part of the display so you can monitor your heart rate while exercising. You must wear a chest strap if you are using the 9.31 treadmill. If you own a

9.33treadmill, you have the option of wearing a chest strap or grasping both touch-sensitive grips. Your heart rate (beats per minute) appears on the display.

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 9.31 treadmill includes one program that lets you exercise based on a specified target heart rate. The 9.33 treadmill contains two: Basic HR and Weight Loss HR. As you exercise, the heart rate programs monitor your heart rate and automatically maintain it within a target heart rate zone.

To use these programs, press the PROGRAMS - HEART RATE key. Refer to Table 2. For more information, refer to Programs.

Heart Rate Analysis

Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or

9.33touch-sensitive grips, the treadmill 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 grips on the 9.33 treadmill.
