HRC Introduction
chapter four: HRC
TRUE's HRC workouts let the treadmill monitor your relative
exercise intensity by way of your heart rate, then automatically
adjust the workload to keep you at your target heart rate and thus
your desired exercise intensity.
Your heart rate is a good measure of your body's exercise stress
level. It reflects differences in your physical condition, how tired
you are, the comfort of the workout environment, even your diet
and emotional state. Using heart rate to control workload takes the
guesswork out of your workout settings.
Consult your physician before using HRC workouts
for advice on selecting a target heart rate range.
Also, it is important to use the treadmill for several
workouts in the manual mode while monitoring
your heart rate. Compare your heart rate with how
you feel to ensure your safety and comfort.
See Appendix A for a chart that may help you pick a target heart
rate.
You need to wear a heart rate monitoring chest strap to use HRC.
See the "Monitoring Your Heart Rate" section in Chapter 1 for
a guide to proper usage. It is not recommended that you use the
contact heart rate system for heart rate control workouts.
