Warm up:
At the beginning of an HRC workout, the treadmill is in full Manual Control mode. Gradually increase your
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.
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.
Cool-down:
At the end of your workout time or distance, the treadmill reduces workload by half and goes back into
Manual Control mode, where you directly control your cool-down.
Your treadmill can remember more than one workout setup for a heart rate control workout. You can select
these in later workouts so you don't have to re-enter your workout parameters, which tend to stay the same
from workout to workout.
During workout setup, if you keep pressing ENTER you will continue to scroll through the workout setup
parameters. You can press ENTER at any time to accept the current parameters and begin your workout.
