Heart Rate Control Workout
After you have spent some time learning how your heart responds to different levels of speed and grade, you will have a better understanding of how to select the maximum speed and maximum grade required to reach your target heart rate.
Consult your physician to determine your target heart rate. See “Heart Rate Control Important Points” for some useful tips on using the HRC system.
How the HRC system controls your heart rate:
To raise your heart rate in the HRC mode, speed will always increase until maximum speed is attained, followed by grade (if grade is used in the workout).
To lower heart rate in the HRC mode, grade will always decrease until zero grade is reached, followed by speed (if grade is used in the workout).
Speed changes are in 0.1 mph increments. Grade changes are in 0.5% grade increments. This is equal to between 0.10 and 0.15 METs.
NOTE: The heart rate control workout stores your workout parameters once you have completed an HRC workout.
You do not need to enter all parameters each time you use the HRC workout.
