CHAPTER TWO: HRC WORKOUTS

7.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.

8.HRC 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.

9.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.

Pressing any key other than or will exit HRC model.

Adjust your target heart rate at any time during your

workout by pressing , using the keys as

needed, and pressing again. If you are lowering your target, you are limited to a 5 bpm change.

The time and distance accumulated during warm up are not counted against your selected workout time or distance; those values start at zero when the treadmill reaches heart rate control mode. This time and distance is, however, accumulated into the workout summary data, along with your cool down exercise.

The heart rate monitor transmitter strap provided with your treadmill should be worn directly against your skin at about one inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line. Women should be careful to place the transmitter below their bra line.
