You must use both left and right stainless steel sensors to pick up your pulse. Pulse values are displayed anytime the computer is receiving a Grip Pulse signal. You may use the Grip Pulse feature while in Heart Rate Control. The CE850 will also pick up wireless heart rate transmitters that are Polar compatible, including coded transmissions.
STRIDE LENGTH ADJUSTMENT The CE850 has a unique adjustable stride length feature that will further increase the variety of your workouts. When the stride setting is at its lowest (shortest) position the stride length will be 18 inches. This setting is used when pedaling slowly, during quick bursts at very high resistance, and to closely simulate a walking motion.

Hill CARDIO This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or user input level).

The test will take anywhere between 6 to 15 minutes to complete, depending on your level of fitness. The test ends when your heart rate reaches 85% of maximum at any time during the test or your heart rate is between 110 bpm and 85% at the end of two consecutive stages.

HEART RATE PROGRAMS The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
Page 35
If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue. The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control.
Page 36
HEART RATE PROGRAM OPERATION To start the HR program follow the instructions below. 1. Using the Program button select the HR program (65% or 80%) then press the Enter key. 2. The Dot Matrix Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your Age, using the Up/Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.

RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V.
