Fitness Test
The fitness assessment protocol is built into this console. Bike version protocol is based on YMCA fitness
test protocol and Elliptical version is based on PRT protocol. They are widely used by fitness experts.
● U1000/R1000 Bike version: The program is tested base on the heart rate condition at 50 rpm range.
Heart rate signal must be valid throughout the test to calculate the score. It is critical to maintain the
speed at 50 rpm range, then the console will adjust level automatically according to the protocol to
raise your heart rate. Depending on how soon your heart rate reaches 85% max, the computer will
calculate & present a test score. Pause function is not allowed with this test, therefore if there is no
valid heart rate signal or stop pedaling before the test is completed, the test will fail.
14
● E1000/E1200 Elliptical version: The Program is tested with a preset 12-minute goal. The protocol is
measured how fast and how much resistance you can do in this period, the higher watts you can
maintain thru the program, the higher score you will get. Pause function is not allowed with this test,
therefore if you stop pedaling before the test is completed, the test will fail.
HRC Programs
The Heart Rate programs are designed to keep you training at the chosen heart rate level. These
programs will only work when there is a valid heart rate signal. It is recommended to use wireless
heart rate chest strap rather than hand grip pulse sensors for these programs. There are Target, HR
interval, Fat Burn and Cardio programs. Follow the on-screen messages to select your HR program as
well as program settings. Please note that Fat Burn & Cardio programs are defaulted with 65% & 80%
target heart rate respectively and therefore their target heart rates setting can’t be changed.
These programs will start with a 3-minute warm up period which user will be able to adjust the level. After
warm-up, the heart rate program begins, the console will take control and adjust the level automatically to
ensure your target heart rate is achieved and maintained during the entire program. You may still adjust the
target HR during exercise by pressing the “+/-“keys.
Virtual Scenes
There are four Tropical, Beaches, Forests & Mountains scenic landscape videos built in to bring your run to
the outdoor experience virtually. You may select to sync your speed with the video playing speed or just
viewing a video along the way of your run. Every part of the program works the same way as other programs
as you can adjust level anytime during the exercise; however, the profile display will be replaced with scenic
video.
Please note: Each video is 60 minutes long with normal playing speed. If you synchronize the video speed
with your run speed or you are running more than 60 minutes, the video will be repeated.

Pulse Hand Grips
This product comes standard with stainless steel pulse hand grips. To activate, gently grasp both hand
grips to obtain a heart rate reading. (Note: It is recommended to wear a chest strap for Heart Rate control
program, as it is more accurate. If you wear a chest strap and use hand grips at the same time for heart
rate monitoring purpose, please note the console will take the measurement of the chest strap.) For safety,
it is not recommended to use the Heart Rate Sensors when exercising at high speeds. The Sensors may
not always be accurate for any user at all speeds. Individual physiology is a factor that can determine
accuracy, or even if the Sensors work for you at all. The Touch Heart Rate reading is not intended to be
used for medical purposes.
Pulse Grip Operating Tips: If you are not getting a consistent reading while using the hand pulse option,
we recommend the following suggestions:
● Make sure that the palms of the hands are touching the contact area
of each hand pulse grip.
● Maintain an even pressure on the grips.
● Do not hold the hand pulse grips too tightly.
● Make sure your palms are warm and slightly moist.
● Excessive movement especially on an elliptical handrail is not
optimum for hand grips or any High Intensive Exercise while on a
machine.
Built in Wireless Heart Rate Receiver
Note: Chest strap transmitter does not come with this unit; contact BODYCRAFT,
or your dealer for purchase.
This product is equipped with a built-in receiver for your heart rate monitoring. Any heart rate telemetry strap
that transmits at 5 KHz or Bluetooth is compatible. To get an accurate reading using these devices, you will
need to be within three feet of the console, and a minimum of four feet from others using a heart rate
monitoring device.
Note: The transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart rate monitoring equipment
or there is other electronics nearby, such as TV, Radio…
While using heart rate control modes, the computer monitors the exact measurement of your pulse. Heart
rate frequency is displayed while the computer continually compares heart rate to the preprogrammed
personal data. The computer adjusts the wattage to maintain heart rate at the preprogrammed level.
How to Wear Your Sensor/ Transmitter (Chest Strap)
○ Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
○ Adjust the band length so that the fit is snug, but not too tight.
○ Buckle the other end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
○ Center the transmitter on your chest below the pectoral muscle (breasts).
○ Stretch the transmitter away from your chest and moisten the conductive
electrode strips located next to the buckles with water.
Note: The transmitter is on automatically when being worn. It is off when it is not connected to your body.
However, as moisture may activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry the transmitter to prolong battery life.
Heart Rate Monitoring Device & Exercise Tips
Erratic Heart Rate Readings:
Erratic readings on the receiver can be caused by electromagnetic disturbances. If the heart rate
readings appear to be abnormal, check that your product is not within range of other strong
electromagnetic signals. Common sources are televisions, computers, cars, cell phones, TV antennas
and high voltage power lines (both above and below ground). Please note: Static electricity in clothing
or a flapping shirt can cause electrical interference, so some items of clothing, i.e. man-made fibers,
can also be the cause. Please try wetting the t-shirt in the area where the transmitter is.
If the battery of the transmitter is running low, the transmission range decreases and may cause errors
similar to the ones listed above in this document.
Heart rate is an important key to your exercise
Medical research has shown us that there is an amount of exercise, which is enough to condition the
cardiorespiratory system and the muscles of the body. This amount of exercise is between 60% and
85% of your maximum heart rate measured during a training session. This range allows enough
exercise to achieve fitness, but not an excessive amount to cause injury. Your heart rate is an excellent
indicator of the amount of stress placed on the cardiovascular system.
If exercise intensity is too low or too high, no gains will be made in fitness. If the intensity is too low, the
stress levels are ineffective. If the intensity is too high, injury or fatigue may set your exercise program
back as you try to recover. Your target heart rate, the intensity needed to improve cardiovascular
fitness, depends primarily on your age and not your state of fitness. It is calculated as a percentage of
your maximum heart rate, estimated as 220 minus your age. It is most effective to train at your target
heart rate between 60% and 85% of your maximum heart rate.
Get a smart start on exercising.
Anyone over the age of 35, as well as younger persons whom are overweight, should check with
his/her physician before beginning any type of exercise program. People who have diabetes or high
blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol or have lead a sedentary lifestyle
should protect themselves with a medical check-up and a stress test, preferably administered during
exercise by a healthcare professional.
● Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and afterwards to cool down.
● The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up muscles before a
vigorous workout and building your heart rate slowly.
● After your aerobic workout of about 24-32 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually reducing your
heart rate with a lower resistance level.
Remember, to start slow, with intensity low, until you build endurance and strength. And always consult
your physician before beginning any exercise program.
