HRC2 – Interval Heart Rate Control
The Interval program is designed to help you increase your aerobic endurance
and improve heart rate recovery. This program lets you select a LOW (or
recover target heart rate) and a HIGH target. After a 3-minute warm-up the
console will adjust the Level every 10 seconds to maintain your Low target for
2 minutes. Then the console will adjust the Level to raise your heart rate to the
High target that you selected and once again keep it at this level for 2 minutes
and then repeat the process until the end of the workout. It is recommended
that you set the workout time to 20 minutes or higher to use this program
effectively.
