Choices During Workout Setup
FIVE : HEART RATE CONTROL WORKOUTS
TIPS ON THE
WARM UP
STAGE
The time and distance accumulated during warmup 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 are accumulated into the workout summary data, as is your cooldown exercise.
Increase speed and incline gradually to slowly increase your heart rate to within 10 bpm of your target. For best results, you should take about five minutes to get to that point.
The treadmill operates in a manual control mode during the warm- up stage. You control both speed and incline. You may only increase speed and incline to the preset maximum values entered.
It is important that you start at a low level of effort and gradually increase your work load over several minutes until you approach your target heart rate. This allows your body to adapt to your workout. Increasing work load gradually will allow you to enter the heart rate control stage without overshooting your target.
Warming up too fast may cause you to overshoot your target. If this occurs, it may take several minutes before the computer software can control your heart rate. You may overshoot and undershoot your target for several minutes until stable control is achieved.
