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. If you wear a chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive handrail 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 treadmill includes several programs that let you exercise based on a specified target heart rate. As you exercise, the heart rate programs monitor your heart rate and automatically maintain it within a few beats per minute (bpm) of your selected target. Refer to Table 2.

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