Exercise To Your Target Heart Rate; Heart Rate Analysis - Precor 9.35 Owner's Manual

Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate

A heart rate receiver is an integral part of the display so you
can monitor your heart rate while exercising. If you wear a
chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips, your
heart rate (beats per minute) appears on the display.
The Precor web site (www.precor.com) has several
suggestions for workouts with varying levels of intensity. It
provides many workout details that include the appropriate
target heart rate.
The treadmill includes several programs that let you exercise
based on a specified target heart rate. As you exercise, the
heart rate programs monitor your heart rate and
automatically maintain it within a few beats per minute (bpm)
of your selected target. Refer to Table 2.
To use these programs, press the PROGRAMS - HEART
RATE key. For more information, refer to Programs.

Heart Rate Analysis

Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or
touch-sensitive handrail grips, the treadmill provides a heart
rate analysis after the workout summary.
Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum
heart rate achieved during your workout. A third display
appears, if you entered your age, and indicates the amount of
time your heart rate remained between the target zones
shown.
The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate
signal is received while exercising. If you use the chest strap,
the average heart rate will be more accurate than if you
occasionally grasp the touch-sensitive handrail grips.
