If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering
your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide upon which
goal you would like to pursue.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular tness (training for the heart and
lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart represent the MHR for a person whose age is
listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either cardiovascular tness or weight loss,
is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A denition of the lines’ goal
is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular tness or if it is weight loss, it
can be achieved by training at 85% or 65%, respectively, of your MHR on a schedule approved by your
physician. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.
With all Spirit Fitness treadmills you may use the heart rate monitor feature without using the Heart Rate
program. However, when using the heart rate monitor feature in conjunction with the Heart Rate programs,
the machine will automatically adjust speed or incline to maintain the desired heart rate.
HEART RATE CONTROL
Heart Rate Control (HRC) uses your treadmill’s incline system to control your heart rate. Increases and
decreases in elevation affect heart rate much more efciently than changes in speed alone. The HRC
program automatically changes elevation gradually to achieve the programmed target heart rate.
Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program:
You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (HR-1) program or the
Cardiovascular (HR-2) program. The Weight Control program will attempt to maintain your heart rate at
60% of your Maximum Heart Rate. The Cardiovascular program will attempt to maintain your heart rate at
