Using the Heart Rate Program

When you access the Heart Rate Program, the following occurs:

The treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to keep your heart rate at the selected target. Pressing the INCLINE arrow keys no longer affects the incline of the running bed, but does change the target heart rate. Check the SmartRate display to see if you are maintaining your preferred zone (weight loss or cardiovascular). Check the Heart Rate display to determine your actual heart rate.

You can change the target heart rate and speed anytime during a workout, but doing so affects the unit’s ability to maintain your target heart rate in the preferred zone. It takes time for the treadmill to readjust the incline so that your heart rate remains on target.

When you complete the program, remember to add a cool-down period.

Note: If you are having difficulty with the heart rate features, refer to Troubleshooting Heart Rate.

The heart rate programs have been designed specifically for Precor treadmills by Dr. Emily Cooper of Seattle Performance Medicine. The programs (HR Endurance, HR Heart Health, HR Speed, and HR Weight Loss) are similar to the Heart Rate Program, but the HR programs move you through more specific cardio-conditioning fitness zones. Examples include warm-up, weight loss, cardio-conditioning, peak, and cool down.

Each program adjusts the incline to maintain your heart rate within two beats per minute of the target heart rate while you exercise. To use these programs, you must wear the chest strap so the treadmill can monitor your heart rate throughout the session.
