Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate

The HEART RATE display shows your heart rate while exercising. To view your heart rate (beats per minute) on the display, grasp both touch-sensitive grips.

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 EFX includes a program that lets you exercise based on a specified target heart rate. As you exercise, the Basic HRC Program monitors your heart rate and automatically maintains it within a few beats per minute (bpm) of your selected target.

Use the PROGRAMS key to access the Basic HRC program. For more information, refer to Programs.
