HOW THE HRC PROGRAM WORKS

The program works by automatically adjusting the incline to keep you working out at your target heart rate. To do this the
treadmill will need your pulse reading throughout the exercise (we recommend you use a chest strap for this).
• If your heart rate is too high the incline is decreased, at a rate of 1% every 30 seconds.
• If your heart rate is too low the incline is increased, at a rate of 1% every 30 seconds.
• The user is free to change to speed settings at any point during the workout.
NOTE: The HRC program has a 3 1/2 minute warm-up phase. During this time the treadmill won't automatically adjust the
incline.

MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE

The treadmill is fitted with 2 hand pulse sensors. To obtain a pulse reading
you must have both your left and right hands on the sensors at the same
time. Do not grip the hand sensors too tight and allow the computer a few
seconds to display the reading.
NOTE: SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN AN ACCURATE HAND PULSE
READING DUE TO VARIATIONS IN CIRCULATION.
WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER
This treadmill features a built in receiver meaning it will pick up the signal from a chest strap. A chest strap will give
a heart rate reading to ECG accuracy. We recommend a chest strap is worn when using HRC programs. To purchase
one, please see the "Contact Us" section at the start of this manual or visit www.yorkfitness.com.
