Heart Rate Control (HRC) Program
The Heart Rate Control Program lets you set a target for your
heart rate. The program adjusts the resistance to maintain
your heart rate within two beats per minute of the target
heart rate while you exercise. To use this program, you must
wear the chest strap so the program can monitor your heart
rate throughout the session.
During your workout, the number that represents your heart
rate appears in the Heart Rate display.
For information about understanding your target heart rate,
refer to Heart Rate Features.
Important: Consult your physician to determine the
appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness level. If
your physician recommends a different target heart rate than
the one that appears on the display, use the appropriate
RESISTANCE arrow keys to change the target heart rate
once you finish the warm-up period. Do not exercise over
the recommended range.
Warm-up Period
The EFX provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this
time, you may change the resistance or ramp incline.
Note: If your heart rate moves into the target heart rate zone
during the 3-minute warm-up period, the warm-up period
ends and the Heart Rate Control Program begins.
