Heart Rate Transmitter Strap

The optional wireless heart rate transmitter accessory is a
useful device if you desire continuous feedback on your
current heart rate during a workout. In addition, the StepOne
includes a heart rate control program which requires the use
of the strap.
The heart rate control program enables the user to
set-up a target heart rate through real-time monitoring of
the user's heart rate. The console maintains the user's heart
rate at or below this established target rate by decreasing the
workload if the user's heart rate exceeds the target.

Calculating Target Heart Rate Zone
Your approximate Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is equal
to 220 minus your age. The upper limit of your target zone
is equal to 0.85 times your MHR. The lower limit of your
target zone is equal to 0.60 times your MHR.
For Example:
Your age is 40:
220 - 40 = 180
180 x .85 = 153 (max MHR)
180 x .60 = 108 (min MHR)
These values are based upon averages, always consult your
physician to establish the proper Heart rate zone for your
individual health condition.
