Aerobic Workouts
Aerobic workouts are designed to keep your oxygen
consumption as high as possible, which improves your fitness
over time. Benefits of aerobic conditioning include greater
heart and lung capacity, stress management, and an overall
sense of vitality.
Training tip: For the most effective cardiovascular workout,
avoid holding on to the handrails.
Heart Rate Key
Pressing the Heart Rate key repeatedly scrolls through the
heart rate controlled (HRC) workouts available on the
equipment. To use these workouts, you must either wear a
chest strap sensor (recommended) or maintain contact with
the handheld sensor grips throughout your workout.
Note: You cannot switch to these workouts during an
exercise session.
Heart Rate / Basic HRC
This workout monitors your heart rate to guide you through a
moderate intensity program that is optimal for aerobic
conditioning.
During the workout, your target heart rate is based on the
following calculation:
Target heart rate = 70% × (207 – (0.67 × your age))
The equipment adjusts intensity settings to maintain your
target heart rate while you work out.
When a heart rate signal is not received, the metrics displays
remain blank. If this happens, recheck your hand grip on the
handheld sensors or the placement of your chest strap.
Training tip: This program offers a coaching benefit for new
and returning users who are learning how to maintain a
moderate, steady exertion level throughout their workouts.
