Heart Rate Control (HRC) Workout Programs
The Heart Rate Control (HRC) programs let you set a heart rate goal for your workout. The program monitors your heart
rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors on the machine or from a Heart Rate Monitor
(HRM) chest strap, and adjusts the workout to keep your heart rate in the selected zone.
Note: The console must be able to read the heart rate information from the CHR sensors or HRM for the HRC program
to work correctly.
The Target Heart Rate programs use your age and other User information to set the Heart Rate Zone values for your
workout.Theconsoledisplaythengivespromptsforyoutosetupyourworkout:
