Choices During Workout Setup

HEART RATE CONTROL WORKOUTS

5 - Warm up. At the beginning of an HRC workout,

the treadmill is in full Manual control mode. Gradually increase your work level to slowly raise your heart rate to within 10 beats per minute (bpm) of your target heart rate.

6 - Heart rate control stage. Now the treadmill takes control of speed and incline, keeping your heart rate within a few bpm of your target. If you are using interval HRC, the treadmill alternates between work and rest intervals.

7 - Cool-down. At the end of your workout time or distance, the treadmill reduces workload by half and goes back into Manual control mode, where you directly control your cool-down.
