5 Heart Rate Training
The CONSTANT HR workout is programmed to help you maintain a chosen target heart rate by automati-
cally changing the level intensity during your workout.
Note: The HR programs require the use of a heart rate transmitter chest strap.
This program is an easy way to keep you from becoming lazy during your workout. It is also a good pro-
gram 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 theo-
retical 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.
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.
During the Interval HR program, the LED matrix will show a version of the above profile. When the user
selects the HR interval program, the console will prompt them to enter the number of intervals. The
