The Weight Loss program is similar to the Heart Rate Program, but the target heart rates differ. The rest interval’s target heart rate is preset to 55% of (220 - your age), while the work interval is preset to 70% of (220 - your age).The C956i automatically adjusts the incline of the treadmill and maintains your heart rate settings while in the rest or work intervals.

Note: For the C956i to detect a heart rate, the user must wear the chest strap or hold onto the touch-sensitive grips on the handrail. The chest strap is optional equipment that can be purchased from your dealer.
