Heart Rate Control programs require the use of the contact grips or wireless chest strap (see Heart Rate Monitors).
The Cardio Trainer has the ability not only to display your heart rate, but also to automatically vary the effort level based
upon your heart rate via its Heart Rate Control (HRC) programs. Target training allows you to maximize your workout
performance while minimizing your workout time.
Program Protocols: HRC vs. Interval HRC
• HRC Program maintains the user’s heart rate at the target throughout the duration of the training segments.
• Interval HRC Program alternates between the target and 80% of target, giving the user an opportunity to exercise at
different intensity levels.
