Workout
Introduction TRUE’s HRC workouts let the treadmill monitor your relative
exercise intensity by way of your heart rate, then automatically
adjust the workload to keep you at your target heart rate and
thus your desired exercise intensity.
Your heart rate is a good measure of your body’s exercise
stress level. It reflects differences in your physical condition,
how tired you are, the comfort of the workout environment,
even your diet and emotional state. Using heart rate to control
workload takes the guesswork out of your workout settings.
Consult your physician before using HRC
workouts for advice on selecting a target heart
rate range. Also, it is important to use the
treadmill for several workouts in the manual
mode while monitoring your heart rate.
Compare your heart rate with how you feel to
ensure your safety and comfort.
See Appendix A for a chart that may help you pick a target
heart rate.
You need to wear a heart rate monitoring chest strap to use
HRC. See the “Monitoring Your Heart Rate” section in Chapter
1 for a guide to proper usage. It is not recommended that
you use the contact heart rate system for heart rate control
workouts.
