Remote Heart Rate Monitor

Monitoring your Heart Rate is one of the best procedures to control the intensity of your exercise. Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors are installed to send your heart rate signals to the Console. The Console can also read telemetry HR signals from a Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter that operates in the 4.5kHz - 5.5kHz range.

Note: The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR® compatible model. (Coded POLAR® heart rate straps such as POLAR® OwnCode® chest straps will not work with this equipment.)

Warning: If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before using a wireless chest strap or other telemetric heart rate monitor.

NOTICE: To prevent interference with the telemetry HR receiver, do not place any personal electronic devices in the left side of the media tray.*

Contact Heart Rate Sensors

Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel parts of the Handlebars. To use, put your hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your hands touch both the top and the bottom of the sensors. Hold firm, but not too tight or loose. Both hands must make contact with the sensors for the Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.

Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now validate the heart rate. Many factors influence the ability of the sensors to detect your heart rate signal:

• Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with pulse detection. Slight hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.
• Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.
• Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.
• The proximity of other electronic machines can generate interference.

If your heart rate signal ever seems erratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors and try again.

Heart Rate Calculations

Your maximum heart rate usually decreases from 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to approximately 160 BPM by age 60. This fall in heart rate is usually linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM for each year. There is no indication that training influences the decrease in maximum heart rate. Individuals of the same age could have different maximum heart rates. It is more accurate to find this value by completing a stress test than by using an age related formula. Your at-rest heart rate is influenced by endurance training. The typical adult has an at rest heart rate of approximately 72 BPM, whereas highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.

The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovascular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is shown.

The most efficient procedure to burn fat during exercise is to start at a slow pace and gradually increase your intensity until your heart rate reaches between 60 – 85% of your maximum heart rate. Continue at that pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.

The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your optimal target rate may be higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.

Note: As with all exercises and fitness regimens, always use your best judgment when you increase your exercise time or intensity

Fitness Test Program

The Fitness Test measures the improvements to your physical fitness level. The test compares your power output (in watts) to your heart rate. As your fitness level improves, your power output will increase at a given heart rate.

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.

You can start the Fitness Test from the FEEDBACK category. The Fitness Test program first prompts you to select your fitness level—Beginner ( “BEG” ) or Advanced ( “ADV” ). The Console will use the Age and Weight values for the selected User Profile to calculate the Fitness Score.

Start to work out and hold the Heart Rate Sensors. When the test starts, the intensity of the workout slowly increases. This means you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The intensity continues to increase automatically until your heart rate reaches the “Test Zone”. This zone is individually computed to be near 75 percent of the maximum heart rate of your User Profile. When you reach the Test Zone, the machine holds the intensity steady for 3 minutes. This lets you reach a stable condition (where your heart rate becomes steady). At the end of the 3 minutes, the Console measures your heart rate and the power output. These numbers, along with information about your age and weight, are computed to produce a “Fitness Score”.

Note: Fitness Test scores should only be compared to your previous scores and not to other User Profiles.

Compare your Fitness Scores to see your improvement.

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 calculate 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 indication 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 Program. 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%.
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.
2. Push the Increase() or Decrease() buttons to set the Heart Rate zone for the workout, and push OK. The Console shows the Heart Rate zone (percent) on the left, and the Heart Rate range for the User on the right side of the display.
