Heart Rate Control Workouts

Various types of Heart Rate Control (HRC) are available on Z5 Series treadmills (except on the Z5 Non). This section may describe some types of HRC that your treadmill may not have.

Time-based constant HRC: pick a target heart rate and exercise for an amount of time you select.

Cruise Control: while in any workout, set your current heart rate as your target heart rate by pressing a single key.

Interval heart rate training (not on Z5 HRC): the treadmill alternates work intervals at your selected target heart rate with rest intervals that are at ½ workload. You set the length of both intervals.

Distance-based HRC (Z5.5 only): set a target heart rate and select

one of four distances, just like running a road course: 2 miles, 4 miles, 5 kilometers, or 10 kilometers.

1 - Put on a Polar or compatible transmitter chest strap as described on page 25.

2 - Pick one of the HRC workouts. Use the HRC Express Command key. To select one of the distance-based workouts or one of the higher-numbered workout setups, keep pressing that HRC key.

3 - Enter your workout parameters. This includes target heart rate, maximum treadbelt speed, workout time or distance, and maximum incline. If you are using Interval HRC, pick your interval durations, too.
