TRAINING TOOLS

The TRAINING TOOLS program includes the HEART RATE TRAINING (Dynamic Heart Rate Control and Constant Heart Rate Control) program.

HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAMS

NOTE: For best results, use a heart rate strap. If user is

 

 

 

wearing a heart rate strap, the machine will automatically

 

 

 

use the data from the heart rate strap. Contact heart rate

 

 

 

grips may not give an accurate heart rate when exercising

 

 

 

over 4 mph.

To calculate your training zone, use the following formulas:

 

 

 

To operate the Dynamic Heart Rate Control program:

1.Stand on the running belt; press the key.

2.You are prompted to select the desired TRAINING TOOLS program. Press the key to select the HR TRAINING programs, then press the key when prompted to select Dynamic Heart Rate Control.

3.The Information Window displays the message “DYNAMIC PROGRAM VARIES SPEED AND INCLINE TO ALTER YOUR HEART RATE BETWEEN LIMITS.” Press the key to continue.

4.You are prompted to enter your weight. You may enter your weight manually as described below.

If you do not enter your weight, the treadmill will display a default weight of 155 pounds (70 kg). You may enter any weight from 1 to 500 pounds (1 to 226 kg).
