PROGRAMMABLE OPERATION OF YOUR TREADMILL
Heart Rate Control
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 maintain
your heart rate at 60% of your Maximum Heart Rate. The Cardiovascular program will maintain
your heart rate at 80% 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.
CAUTION!
The target value used in HR-1 and HR-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy
individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in
question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower target goal.
