Recovery Test Program
Recovery Test shows how quickly your heart recovers from an exercise state to a more restful state. Improved recovery is
an indicator of increasing fitness.
Note:
The Console must be able to read the heart rate information from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors or Heart
Rate Monitor (HRM) to work correctly.
From an elevated heart rate, select the Recovery Test Program. The Console will show “STOP EXERCISING” and the
goal will begin to count down. Stop exercising but continue to grip the contact heart rate sensors. After 5 seconds, the
display will show “RELAX” and will continue to count down to 00:00. For the entire minute the console will also show your
heart rate. You must grip the heart rate sensors for the duration of the test if not using a Remote Heart Rate Monitor.
The display will continue to show “RELAX” and your heart rate until the goal reaches 00:00. The console will then calcu-
late your recovery score.
Recovery Score = Your heart rate at 1:00 (the beginning of the test) minus your heart rate at 00:00 (the end of the test).
The higher the Recovery Test score value, the quicker your heart rate is returning to a more restful state and is an indica-
tion of improving fitness. By recording these values over time you can see the trend toward better health.
When you select the Recovery Test Program and there is no heart rate signal or display, the Console will show “NEED
HEART RATE”. This message will show for 5 seconds. If no signal is detected, the program will end.
Helpful Tip: For a more relevant score, try to obtain a steady heart rate for 3 minutes before starting the Recovery Pro-
gram. This will be easier to achieve, and obtain the best result, in the Manual program so you can control the levels of
resistance.
Heart Rate Control (HRC) Workout Programs
The Heart Rate Control (HRC) programs let you set a heart rate goal for your workout. The program monitors your heart
rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors on the machine or from a Heart Rate Monitor
(HRM) chest strap, and adjusts the workout to keep your heart rate in the selected zone.
Note:
The console must be able to read the heart rate information from the CHR sensors or HRM for the HRC program
to work correctly.
The Target Heart Rate programs use your age and other User information to set the Heart Rate Zone values for your
workout. The console display then gives prompts for you to set up your workout:
1. Select the Heart Rate Control workout level: BEGINNER ( “BEG” ) or ADVANCED ( “ADV” ) and push OK.
2. Push the Increase(
) or Decrease(
) buttons to select the percentage of maximum heart rate: 50–60%, 60–70%,
70–80%, 80–90%.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest,
become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calcu-
lated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed on the console
is an approximation and should be used for reference only.
3.
Push the Increase(
) or Decrease(
) buttons to select the Goal type, and push OK.
4.
Push the Increase(
) or Decrease(
) buttons to set the goal value for the workout.
Note:
Be sure to allow time for your heart rate to reach the desired heart rate zone when setting the goal.
5. Push OK to start the workout.
A User can set a Heart Rate zone instead of a value by selecting the Heart Rate Control - User program. The Console will
adjust the workout to keep the User in the desired Heart Rate zone.
1. Select HEART RATE CONTROL - USER, and push OK.
