True's patented heart rate control workout allows you to limit
both speed and incline for your safety and
comfort. While wearing a Polar or compatible
chest transmitter strap, the treadmill
adjusts speed and incline to keep you at
your desired target heart rate, and it
remembers these setup parameters for
your next workout.
Consult your physician before using heart rate
controlled 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.
After you spend some time learning how your heart responds
to different levels of speed and incline, you will have a better
understanding of how to select the maximum speed and
maximum incline required to reach your target heart rate.
See Appendix A for a chart that may help you pick a target
heart rate.
