Smooth Heart Rate Interactive Programming: How it Works
(HR models only)
The Smooth Heart Rate Interactive System is safe and simple and easy to understand. The user
first sets the maximum for grade. This allows the user to customize and create a variety of workouts
in a safe way. Once the data is entered, along with workout time and target heart rate, the user is
ready to start their Heart Rate Interactive workout.
The Heart Rate Interactive System is divided into 3 stages: Warm Up, Heart Rate Interactive,
and Cool Down. In the Warm Up stage, the treadmill is basically in manual mode while the user ad-
justs speed and incline. The user can take as much time during the Warm Up stage to approach
their Target Heart Rate. The Warm Up stage ends when the user's pulse or heart rate is within 10
beats of the pre-set target heart rate.
Upon reaching within 10 beats of the pre-set target heart rate, the user now enters the Heart
Rate Interactive stage. The treadmill's computer takes over from here, adjusting incline to maintain
your heart rate near the target heart rate. To increase your heart rate toward your target, the tread-
mill will gradually increase incline to the maximum you set, in .5% increments. To decrease your
heart rate toward your target, the treadmill will gradually decrease incline to 0%, in .5% increments.
