My Zone Heart Rate Control Programs

The C7000i has 2 MyZone Heart Rate control
programs. In each of these programs you will
set your target heart rate and the console
will automatically adjust the resistance
to maintain your heart rate at either a
CONSTANT level or at an alternating LOW and
HIGH level.
You will need to use the hand pulse sensor to
receive your heart rate throughout the course
of the workout. You can also purchase a chest
strap for a wireless heart rate readout.
Constant Heart Rate Control (HRC1): The "Constant" program lets you select a
single heart rate that you want to maintain throughout your workout. Typically
for Weight Loss set the target at 65% of your predicted maximum heart rate and
for Cardio Training set the target at 80% of your predicted maximum. After 3
minutes of warm up, the pedaling resistance will automatically be adjusted every
10 seconds to get your heart rate up to the preset level that you selected and
then maintain your heart rate during the workout.
Interval Heart Rate Control (HRC2): 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 recovery target heart rate and a HIGH target.
After a 3 minute warm-up the console will adjust the pedaling resistance every
10 seconds to maintain your heart rate at the LOW or recovery target for 2
minutes. Then the console will adjust the resistance to raise your heart rate to the
HIGH target that you selected and once again keep it at this level for 2 minutes.
After holding your heart rate at the HIGH setting for 2 minutes the resistance
will be reduced every 10 seconds until you reach the LOW level and then repeat
the process until the end of the workout. It is recommended that you set the
workout time to 25 minutes or higher to use this program effectively.
