Console Operation HEART RATE PROGRAMS (See the MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE section for more information) Heart rate control programs are designed to automatically change resistance to keep your heart rate at a predetermined level based on the selected Heart Rate program. Each Heart Rate program is designed with a specific goal in mind.
Console Operation HOW HEART RATE PROGRAMS WORK Change in Heart Rate ( HR) = Beats per minute difference between Target Heart Rate (THR) and Current Heart Rate (CHR). or : HR = THR (bpm) - CHR (bpm) The Heart Rate Programs will behave in the following manner: Hr is between +/-5 Resistance level stays the same.
Monitoring Your Heart Rate To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is im- portant to work within your target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association (AHA) defines this target as 60% -75% percent of the Maximum Heart Rate. The Maximum Heart Rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting the user’s age from 220.
Monitoring Your Heart Rate FITNESS SAFETY The Heart Rate chart indicates average rate zones for different ages. A variety of dif- ferent factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other con- ditions) can affect the target heart rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or health care professional can help you determine the exercise intensity that is appro- priate for your age and condition.
Chest Strap Operation Your Endurance ® Upright bike has the capability to determine Heart Rate with the use of a Heart Rate Chest Strap. A Heart Rate Chest Strap has been provided with your unit or may be available as an accessory for use with your unit depending on the Endurance ®...
