a. HRC program introduction
Each HRC program is divided into 10 stages.
In standby mode press PROG key continuously until Heart program1 or Heart
program2 appeared.
Press MODE key to change the age by I/- or SPEED +/- key. After you
finish that, the system will suggest you a target heart rate. Of course you can
change it according to your need.
After you finish setting the age and target heart rate, please confirm the exercise
time.
At last press START to begin the exercise.
Whenever you press the INCLINE +/- or SPEED +/- key to adjust the incline or
speed under HRC program, the system itself will adjust its own speed and incline
in order to reach the target heart rate.
Remark: Under HP1 or HP2 mode, please press START key directly. The
machine will work with default system data.
The first minute of the HRC program is for warming up, you can adjust the speed
and incline by manual. The system will accelerate 0.5km per time automatically
after the first minute according to your current heart rate. When the current speed
is more than 10km/h in HP1 or 12 km/h in HP2 and your current heart rate is still
less than target heart rate, the system will increase the incline step by step
automatically until your heart rate is approaching the target heart rate. If there is
no heart rate for more than 30 seconds, the system will reduce the speed by 0.5
km and incline 1 section every 10 seconds until reducing to the lowest data.
Note: you need to wear heart rate belt to use the HRC function.
b. Five common heart rate zones
Before high intensive training please consult doctor`s advice.
The health heart rate zone: 50% - 60% of maximum heart rate. It is suitable for
most beginners. It is good for losing weight and lowering blood pressure and
cholesterol.
The temperate zone: 60% - 70% of maximum heart rate. It is good for losing
weight and burning more calories.
