CHAPTER TWO: HEART RATE CONTROL WORKOUTS
Cruise
Control
1 - A user who physically cannot walk over 2.5 mph
can safely use heart rate control by entering
maximum speed of 2.5 in an HRC workout.
2 - A runner can run up to a speed of 10 mph, without
hills, by entering a maximum speed of 10 mph and
a maximum incline of 0%.
3 - A walker enters a maximum speed of 4.0 mph and
a maximum incline of 6%. The walker is limited to
a maximum speed of 4.0 mph and incline will be
used if required to elevate the heart rate up to a
maximum of 6%.
This is the simplest way to enter target heart rate training. While
in manual or any program you can enter Target Heart Rate
Control by simply pressing the key. Your current heart rate
will be set as the target.
For best results, you should be at least five minutes into your
workout and warmed up. This will allow Cruise Control to more
accurately control your heart rate.
Remember, you must be wearing a chest strap, and your heart rate
should be displayed in the Heart Rate window.
To change your target heart rate press
. Edit the target
using
and press . If you are lowering your target, you
are limited to a 5 bpm change. It is important to note that if you
are raising your target, the speed and grade change safety limits
(described next) may prevent the treadmill from raising your heart
rate to your desired new target.
