HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate between 60% and 85% of your estimated maxi- mum heart rate while you exercise. Note: Your maxi-
mum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age 4 from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 (220 – 30 =
190).
Heart rate program 2 will keep your heart rate near a target heart rate that you select.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
1 Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
2 Select one of the heart rate programs.
Age/Rate Set (Resistance) buttons repeatedly to enter your age, and then press the Enter button. Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.
Enter a target heart rate.
If you selected heart rate program 1, you do not need to enter a target heart rate. Go to step 5.
If you selected heart rate pro-
gram 2, the letters “PLS” and a target
heart rate will flash in the lower dis-
play. Press the +
or – button repeatedly to change the target heart rate, if desired. Then. press the Enter button.
Note: See the heart rate chart on page 23 for heart rate guidelines.
To select a heart rate program, press the Program Select button repeatedly until “Hr1” or “Hr2” appears in the lower display.

not holding the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will appear in the lower display instead of your heart rate.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program consists of 20 one- minute segments. One target heart rate is pro- grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar- get heart rate may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments. If heart rate pro- gram 2 is selected, the same target heart rate is programmed for all segments.
At the end of each segment, a series of tones will sound. As you pedal, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will auto- matically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.
