Various types of Heart Rate Control (HRC) are available on ES
Series treadmills. This section may describe some types of HRC
that your treadmill does not have.
Time-based constant HRC: pick a target heart rate and exercise
for an amount of time you select.
Interval heart rate training: 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.
• Interval HRC works just like time based constant heart
rate control up through the first work interval.
• When your workout reaches your first rest interval,
your workload is reduced by half, and kept at this rate
throughout the rest interval.
• The next work interval is initially set at an average of the
workloads in the previous work interval.
Distance-based HRC: 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.
Cruise Control: while in any workout, set your current heart rate
as your target heart rate by pressing a single key.
