Heart Rate Control - Spirit CT800 Owner's Manual

Heart Rate Control

How the Heart Rate Control Programs Work:
Heart Rate Control (HRC) uses your treadmill's incline system to control your heart rate. In-
creases and decreases in elevation affect heart rate much more efficiently than changes in speed
alone. The HRC program automatically changes elevation gradually to achieve the programmed
target heart rate.
Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program:
You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (HR-1)
program or the Cardiovascular (HR-2) program. The Weight Control program will attempt to
maintain your heart rate at 60% of your Maximum Heart Rate. The Cardiovascular program will
attempt to maintain your heart rate at 85% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Your Maximum Heart
Rate is based upon a formula that subtracts your age from a constant of 220. Your HR setting is
automatically calculated during the setup mode when you enter your age.
