How These Modes Work
Chapter Four: Heart Rate Control
Constant HRC is the best-known type of HRC, and is the easiest
to use. The bike will gradually raise your heart rate so that you
reach your target within 5 to 7 minutes.
Note that as you tire during your workout, especially in the last
third, workload will usually have to be reduced to keep you at a
steady target heart rate.
Cruise Control is the simplest way to enter Constant HRC
training. While in manual or any program you can enter Con-
stant HRC by simply pressing the HRC key. Your current heart
rate will be set as the target.
For best results, you should be at least five minutes into your
workout and warmed up. This will allow Cruise Control to more
accurately control your heart rate.
Remember, you must be wearing a chest strap, and your heart
rate should be displayed in the Heart Rate window.
To change your target heart rate press HRC. Edit the target using
/ or numeric keys and press .
