Warm up:
At the beginning of an HRC workout, the treadmill is in full Manual Control mode. Gradually increase your
work level to slowly raise your heart rate to within 10 beats per minute (bpm) of your target heart rate. The
treadmill will operate as if in manual mode during the warm up stage. You control both speed and incline. You
may only increase speed and grade to the present maximum values entered. It is important that you start at a low
level of perceived exertion and gradually increase your work load over several minutes until you approach your
target heart rate. This allows your body to adapt to your workout. Increasing work load gradually will allow you
to enter the heart rate control stage without overshooting your target. keeping your heart rate within a few bpm
of your target. If you are using interval HRC, the treadmill alternates between work and rest intervals.
note:
Warming up too fast may cause you to overshoot your target. If this occurs it may take several
minutes before the computer software can control your heart rate. You may overshoot and undershoot for several
minutes until control is achieved.
Wear the heart rate transmitter, provided with your treadmill, directly against your skin, 1-2 inches below the
pectoral muscles/breast line. Initially the transmission signal for heart rate may be erratic or non existent.
Perspiration on your skin is necessary for proper transmission.
At the heart rate control stage
the treadmill takes control of speed and incline, keeping
your heart rate within a few bpm of your target. If you are using interval HRC, the treadmill alternates between
work and rest intervals.
