This program is an easy way to keep you from becoming lazy during your workout. It is also a good
program to make sure that you are not working too hard during a recovery ride.
The target heart rate that the computer chooses for you is based on the age you have entered during
the set up of the program. The value of your target heart rate for this program is 70% of your theoretical
maximum heart rate. For example, the theoretical maximum heart rate for a 40 year-old is 180 bpm. The
target heart rate of 70% is 126 bpm.
Heart rate is detected when you grip the sensors on the handle bar, or wear the heart rate transmitter
across your chest. To get a good heart rate reading, your hands should be slightly moist when gripping
the metal sensor pads on the handle bar, or likewise, when wearing the heart rate strap across your
chest, your skin should be slightly moist where the ribbed sensor pads make contact. (Wear the strap
with the logo facing out.)
When setting up the CONSTANT HR program the MESSAGE DISPLAY will ask you to enter your age. Once
your age has been entered the console will calculate your target heart rate and display it on the PROFILE
DISPLAY. At this point you can change your target heart rate with the +/- Keys and then press ENTER to
accept.
The minimum target heart rate that you will be allowed to ENTER is 80. The maximum target heart rate
is 200.
