HORIZON SERIES

The Pulse Zone Program is designed to keep the user at an optimum exercise level, while adjusting the
resistance levels to keep the user at a target heart rate. To choose the Pulse Zone Program, follow these
instructions. (B30 only)

1.

Choose the Pulse Zone Program by pressing the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ buttons. Press ‘Enter’.

2.

Determine your target Pulse Zone by using the heart rate chart (reference target heart rate Pulse

Zone chart in table of contents). Choose your target pulse zone by pressing the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ but-
tons. Your target pulse zone should be set at a number that you will be able to exercise throughout
the majority of your workout.

3.

The Pulse Zone Program will have a 5 minute warm-up period before it will start adjusting the

resistance levels to get you to your target pulse zone.

4.

After the 5 minute warm-up period, the resistance levels will increase gradually to get the user to

the selected target pulse zone. Once the user is at the target pulse zone; plus or minus 5 beats, the
resistance level will remain at the current resistance level.

5.

If the actual heart rate of the user is above the target pulse zone, the resistance levels will grad-

ually begin decreasing to keep the user in the target pulse zone. If the user is more than 25 beats
above the target pulse zone, the console will shut  down for safety purposes.

6.

The last 5 minutes of the program will be dedicated to a cool-down period. At this time, the pro-

gram will gradually decrease the resistance level to give the user a smooth and easy cool down.
