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. The Console shows your Heart Rate in Beats Per Minute (BPM).

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.

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.

CHR detection may be limited to walking or slow jogging due to the extreme muscle artifacts and hand motion generated by a comfortable running style. 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 getting 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, where as 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 better 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.

Operations

What to Wear

Wear rubber-soled athletic shoes. You will need the appropriate clothes for exercise that allow you to move freely.

How Often Should You Exercise

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 calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only.

3 times a week for 30 minutes each day.

Schedule workouts in advance. Try to work out even when you do not want to.

Seat Adjustment

Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury.

1.With a Pedal in the forward position, center the ball of your foot over the center of it. Your leg should be bent slightly at the knee.

2.If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the Pedal, move the seat down on the upright bike or forward on the recumbent bike. If your leg is bent too much, move the seat up on the upright bike or rearward on the recumbent bike.

Step off the bike before you adjust the seat.

Upright bike—pull the adjustment knob on the seat tube. Adjust the seat to the desired height. Release the adjustment knob to engage the locking pin. Be sure that the pin is fully engaged. To move the upright seat closer to, or away from the console, loosen the knob. Slide the seat forward or rearward to the desired position and tighten the knob.

Recumbent bike—pull the adjustment knob on the seat bracket. Slide the seat to the desired position. The adjustment knob will “pop” into the next hole. Turn the knob to fully tighten and make sure the seat is stable.

11

Note: Different models can have the knob on the top or the side of the seat bracket.

Foot Position / Pedal Strap Adjustment

Foot pedals with straps provide secure footing to the exercise bike.

1.Put the ball of each foot on the Pedals.

2.Rotate the Pedals until one can be reached.

3.Fasten the strap over the shoe.

4.Repeat for the other foot.

Be sure toes and knees point directly forward to ensure maximum Pedal efficiency. Pedal straps can be left in position for subsequent workouts.

Adjust Console

To adjust the console tilt position:

1.Loosen the knob below the console.

2.Carefully move the console tilt to one of the available positions.

3.Tighten the knob.

Power-Up Mode

The Console will enter POWER-UP mode if it is plugged into a power source, any button is pushed, or if it receives an indication from the RPM sensor as a result of pedaling the machine.

Auto Shut-Off (Sleep Mode)

If the Console does not receive any input in approximately 5 minutes, it will automatically shut off. The LCD display is off while in Sleep Mode.

Note: The Console does not have an On/Off switch.

Fitness Test

The Fitness Test measures the improvements of your physical fitness level. The test compares your power output (in Watts) to your heart rate. As you become more fit, you will produce more power (Watts) at a given heart rate.

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.

If you go to the HRC program from your User profile, the Target Heart Rate program uses your age and other user setup information to set the Heart Rate Zone values for your workout. If you are a Guest User, you must enter your age and weight. The console display then gives prompts for you to set up your workout:

1.Set the workout level: FIT (beginner) or GETTING FIT (advanced).

2.The workout starts from level 1 and increases as the timer counts up from 00:00, until your heart rate is in the “Test Zone” (75% of your calculated maximum heart rate).

3.When you are in the Test Zone, the machine holds the Watts steady for 3 minutes. The timer counts down from 3:00.

4.The console measures your heart rate and power output (Watts) to calculate your Fitness Score.

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

Over time, you will output more Watts of power at a specified Heart Rate. Compare your Fitness Scores to see your improvement.

Heart Rate Control (HRC) Program

The Heart Rate Control (HRC) program lets 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.

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.

If you go to the HRC program from your User profile, the Target Heart Rate program uses your age and other user setup information to set the Heart Rate Zone values for your workout. If you are a Guest User, you must enter your age and weight. The console display then gives prompts for you to set up your workout:

1.Set the workout level: FIT (beginner) or GETTING FIT (advanced).

2.Set the percentage of maximum heart rate: 60–70%, 70–80%, 80–90%.

Consult a physician before you start to exercise in the 80–90% heart rate zone.

3.Set the Time for the workout. (The default value is 10:00.)
