These programs give users the best of both worlds. Lower intensity levels can provide e ective fat burning while higher intensity levels can provide e ective cardiovascu- lar training. The E5000 combines these bene ts in three e ective Interval programs. INTERVAL This program simulates interval training thru a series of two hill pro les.

Console Operation HEART RATE PROGRAMS (See the MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE section for more information) Heart rate control programs are designed to automatically change resistance to keep your heart rate at a predetermined level based on the selected Heart Rate program. Each Heart Rate program is designed with a speci c goal in mind.

Console Operation STANDARD TO METRIC CONVERSION The console allows the user to display the readout in either standard or metric units depending on the user’s needs. To adjust the readout, press the PAUSE/RESET button for 2 seconds. The current readout, whether standard or metric, is displayed on the MESSAGE WINDOW.
Monitoring Your Heart Rate To obtain the greatest cardiovascular bene ts from your exercise workout, it is im- portant to work within your target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association (AHA) de nes this target as 60% -75% percent of the Maximum Heart Rate. The Maximum Heart Rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting the user’s age from 220.
Page 38
Monitoring Your Heart Rate FITNESS SAFETY The Heart Rate chart indicates average rate zones for di erent ages. A variety of dif- ferent factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other con- ditions) can a ect the target heart rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or health care professional can help you determine the exercise intensity that is appro- priate for your age and condition.
Chest Strap Operation Your Endurance ® Elliptical has the capability to determine Heart Rate with the use of a Heart Rate Chest Strap. A Heart Rate Chest Strap has been provided with your unit or may be available as an accessory for use with your unit depending on the Endur- ance ®...
