Heart Rate Interval Program - Bodyguard T-30 User Manual

Once a zone has been selected the user can fine-tune their Target Heart Rate within a zone by
pressing the INCREASE/DECREASE SPEED keys. As the Target Heart Rate is fine-tuned the
display will show both the Target Heart Rate value and the Maximum Heart Rate percentage.
Once a Target Heart Rate value is selected the Heart Rate Mode must be established. The Heart
Rate Mode is the way the treadmill will make adjustments during a workout in order to achieve the
Target Heart Rate. There are 3 choices as shown in the table below.

* Usually the speed will change in 0.1 increments several times before a 0.5% incline change will
On a T-30 the HRC program begins immediately whereas on a T-45 & T-75 the program begins in a
4 minute Warm Up period that can be skipped at any time by pressing the STOP key.
Speed and incline changes may be made by the user at any time during the program.
NOTE – This program requires the user wearing a 5kHz wireless chest strap. This strap is available
at authorized Bodyguard Fitness dealers or from Bodyguard Fitness' Customer Service Department.
The strap should fit snugly across the chest since any movement during exercise may result in an
incorrect reading of the pulse. For an optimum reading, users should exercise within an arm's length
of the console. If, after a few seconds, the heart rate receiver does not detect a signal from the chest
strap, then "UNSTABLE HR, PLEASE CHECK CHEST STRAP" will appear on a T-45 or T-75
screen. If the heart rate receiver does not detect a signal for one (1) minute, the program will stop.
On a T-30 if no Heart Rate Signal is received then the program will continue at the current speed and
incline settings.
CAUTION – If the belt speed is too fast or the incline too high for your fitness level and you are
unable to keep up with the program, press STOP to end the program. You may resume the exercise
at a lower level of intensity. If this is still too difficult, do not use the Heart Rate Control program until
your level of fitness allows you to complete the workout at the lowest target heart rate setting.

HEART RATE INTERVAL PROGRAM

The Heart Rate Interval Program combines the benefits of interval training with the accuracy of heart
rate training. This combination makes the Heart Rate Interval Program one of the most effective
ways to increase metabolism, burn fat, increase average pace and naturally produce human growth
hormones. During the Heart Rate Interval Program the computer will automatically alternate between
a Work Target Heart Rate (Work BPM) and a Rest Target Heart Rate (Rest BPM) set by the user.
The Work BPM can be set between 70% & 90% of the user's Maximum Heart Rate and the Rest
BPM can be set between 50% & 69% of the user's maximum heart rate. Once a target heart rate is
reached the program maintains the user at that level for the duration of the interval time or rest time
established during program setup before alternating to the other target.
As with the Heart Rate Control program the Heart Rate Mode must be established. The Heart Rate
Mode is the way the treadmill will make adjustments during a workout in order to achieve the Target
Heart Rate. There are 3 choices as shown in the table below.
