To operate the DYNAMIC HEART RATE CONTROL

program:

This heart rate feature is designed to gradually elevate your heart rate to the upper end of your selected training range, then gradually decrease your heart rate to the lower end of your selected training range by dynamically controlling striding difficulty. During the workout, this cycle will repeat several times until the time goal is complete, creating an interval training effect that is customized to the user’s desired heart rate training range.

During program setup, there must be at least an 18 BPM difference between the lower heart rate limit and upper heart rate limit to ensure an interval workout.

To calculate your training zone, use the following formulas: (theoretical max HR = 220 - Age)

Heart Rate Training Range Upper Level

_____________________x 0.75 = ___________________________

Your Theoretical Max Training Range Upper Limit

Heart Rate Training Range Lower Level

_____________________x 0.60 = ___________________________

Your Theoretical Max

Training Range Lower Limit

NOTE: Calculating your theoretical maximum heart rate using age is an approximation. For more information, please contact a fitness professional or doctor.

By including interval exercise in your regular aerobic program, greater effects are noticed. Your heart and muscles will adapt to the increases in demand by utilizing stored calories for energy more effectively. Dynamic Heart Rate Control may potentially result in more calories expended. It will strengthen the heart, provide stress relief and variety to a workout. This program is more effective in training the body to remove excess lactic acid from the muscles.
