HEART RATE CONTROL
This console has an easy to operate heart rate control program that operates using the same sequence
of steps as the other programs. The heart rate control program will take you through a warm-up phase,
and gradually increase the resistance levels automatically until your actual heart rate is equal to your
inputted target level (plus or minus five beats). During the last two segments of your workout, the resist-
ance will be reduced gradually to allow your body a slow cool down period.

DETERMINING TARGET HEART RATE

Target heart rate is the number of beats per minute you determine to be ideal for achieving your person-
al fitness goals. If you have been sedentary, or have a history of heart disease always consult your
physician to determine the target heart rate. Otherwise, please read pages 33 and 34 for further infor-
mation to help you decide on the target rate best for you.
CHOOSE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM
After turning on the power to your exercise bike, use either the UP or DOWN arrow to choose the
HEART RATE CONTROL program. Press ENTER.

CHOOSE TARGET HEART RATE

The function light next to PROGRAM LEVEL will be flashing and 'H 80' will show in the number screen.
You can choose a target heart rate from 80 to 170 in 5 beat increments by pressing the UP or DOWN
arrow. Once your selected target level is showing in the number screen, press ENTER. The steps for
entering TIME and WEIGHT are the same as all the other programs. After inputting your choices, press
START.
MAINTAIN HIGH PEDALING RPM's
When using the Heart Rate Control program, you may find that the resistance levels rise higher than
what your legs are accustomed to pedaling against. To avoid this, and reduce the stress on your joints,
it is highly recommended that you pedal at a 'cyclists' cadence range of 80 to 100 RPM's. If you do not
pedal at higher RPM's (80-100), you may find it impossible to achieve heart rate target level, since
workload is determined by the combination of resistance and RPM's.
