Y ou are now the owner of the most sophisticated
Heart Rate Control treadmill available. The TRUE
HRC is unique and patented. It accommodates
users from rehabilitation to world class athletes, and
all those in between. The TRUE HRC treadmill
allows you to do a completely hands free heart rate
controlled workout using speed, grade or both.
By training at a specific target heart rate, you can
exercise at a more efficient cardiovascular level.
The TRUE HRC system is unique because it
allows you to key parameters of your workout;
target heart rate, maximum speed, maximum grade,
and time, prior to beginning your HRC workout. As
you approach your target heart rate, the treadmill's
computer takes over and changes the speed and/or
grade automatically to keep you near your target
heart rate. This gives you a completely "hands free"
workout.

Before selecting a target heart rate control workout, it
is important to use the treadmill for several workouts
in the manual mode while monitoring your heart rate.
Y ou can monitor your heart rate during workouts by
wearing the heart rate transmitter included with your
treadmill.
After you have spent some time learning how your
heart responds to different levels of speed and grade,
you will have a better understanding of how to select
the maximum speed and maximum grade required to
reach your target heart rate.

key, select which file or workout you want, and press start.

Interval heart rate training takes your workout to
an even higher level. Interval training allows you to
program periods of rest between periods of work.
For each workout, you enter target heart rate,
maximum speed, maximum grade, duration of
workout, and duration of work and rest intervals.
These are time-based workouts. The distance
traveled will depend on your speed.
