If you enter the HRC stage below 5 mph, the speed you enter will 
be the maximum speed of your workout. If you like to walk at a 
maximum speed of 3.8 mph, you should enter HRC at 3.8 mph.
If you enter the HRC stage above 5 mph, you will have an additional 
1 mph of speed. If you enter HRC at 6 mph, your maximum 
attainable speed in the HRC stage will be 7 mph.
If at any time you enter the HRC stage with incline, you will have an 
additional 4% of incline available in the HRC stage. If you enter the 
HRC stage at 1% incline, your maximum attainable incline will be 
5%.
If you do not enter the HRC stage with incline, no incline will be 
available during the HRC stage of your workout. Only speed will be 
used to control your heart rate.
