Dynamic Heart Rate Control
[Selected Models - Polar Telemetry Recommended]
Program Definition
This heart rate feature is designed to gradually elevate your heart rate to the upper end of your
selected training range, then gradually decrease your heart rate to the lower end of your selected
training range using speed and incline. During the workout, this cycle will repeat several times,
creating an interval training effect that is customized to the user's desired heart rate training range.
Benefits of Heart Rate Intervals
By including interval exercise in your regular aerobic program, greater effects are noticed. Your
heart and muscles will adapt to the increases in demand by utilizing stored calories for energy more
effectively. Dynamic Heart Rate Control may potentially result in more calories expended. It will
strengthen the heart, provide stress relief and variety to a workout. This program is more effective
in training the body to remove excess lactic acid from the muscles.
How To Use Dynamic Heart Rate Control
Note: For best results, use a heart rate chest strap. If user is wearing a chest strap, the machine will
automatically use the Polar Data. Contact heart rate grips may not give an accurate heart rate when
