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 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 10.
2 Select one of the heart rate programs.
To select a heart rate program, press the Program Select button repeatedly until “H1” or “H2” appears in the lower display.
If you selected heart rate program 1, the matrix will show the first six target heart rate settings of the pro- gram.
If you selected heart rate program 2, a heart symbol will appear in the matrix.
If you selected heart rate program 1, go to step 3. If you selected heart rate program 2, go to step 4.
3 Enter your age.
When heart rate program 1 is selected, you must enter your age. If you have already entered your age, press the Enter (Program Start) button and go to step 5. If you have not entered your age, press the + or
–button repeatedly to enter your age, and then press the Enter button. Note: Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.
4 Enter a target heart rate.
When heart rate program 2 is selected, you must enter a target heart rate. (See the heart rate chart on page 21 for heart rate guidelines.) To enter a target heart rate, press the + or
–button repeated- ly, and then press
the Enter (Program Start) button.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the
5 optional chest pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sen- sor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips con- tinuously during the program. However, you should hold the handgrips frequently for the pro- gram to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will appear in the lower display instead of your heart rate.
