Remote Heart Rate Monitor

Monitoring your HeartRateis oneofthe best procedures to control

the intensity of your exercise.

Contact Heart Rate (CHR)sensors are installed to sendyour heart
rate signals to the Console.The Consolecan also readtelemetry
HRsignals from a HeartRateChest StrapTransmitter. The Console

shows your Heart Ratein Beats Per Minute (BPM).

_, If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic

device, consult your doctor before using awireless chest
strap or othertelemetric heart rate monitor.

Contact Heart Rate Sensors

Contact Heart Rate(CHR)sensors sendyour heart rate signalsto the Console. The CHRsensors arethe stainless steel parts ofthe

Handlebars.Touse, putyour hands comfortably around the sensors. Be surethat your handstouch boththe top andthe bottom of
the sensors. Holdfirm, but nottoo tight or loose. Both hands must makecontact with the sensors for the Consoleto detect apulse.
After the Consoledetects four stable pulse signals,your initial pulse ratewill be shown.

Oncethe Consolehas your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your handsfor 10to 15seconds. The Consolewill now validate the
heart rate. Many factors influence the ability ofthe sensors to detect your heart rate signal:

• Movement of the upperbody muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with
pulse detection. Slight hand movementwhile in contactwith the sensors can also produce interference.

• Calluses and hand lotion may act asan insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.

• SomeElectrocardiogram (EK6) signals generated byindividuals are notstrong enoughto be detected bythe sensors.

CHRdetection may be limited to walking or slow jogging due to the extreme muscle artifacts and hand motiongenerated bya
comfortable running style. If your heart rate signal ever seemserratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors
and try again.

Heart Rate Calculations

Yourmaximum heart rate usually decreases from 220Beats PerMinute (BPM) inchildhood to approximately 160BPM by age 60.
This fall in heart rate is usually linear, decreasing byapproximately one BPMfor each year. There is no indication that training
influences the decrease in maximumheart rate. Individuals of the same age could have different maximumheart rates. It is more
accurate to find this value by getting astress test than by using an age related formula.

Yourat rest heart rate is influenced byendurance training. Thetypical adult has an at rest heart rate of approximately 72 BPM,
where as highly trained runners may havereadings of40 BPM or lower.

The Heart Ratetable is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ)is effective to burn fat and better your cardiovascular system.

Physicalconditions vary,therefore your individual HRZcould be several beats higher or lower than what is shown.

The mostefficient procedure to burn fat during exercise isto start at aslow pace and gradually increaseyour intensity until your
heart rate reaches between 60- 85%of your maximumheart rate. Continueat that pace, keeping your heart rate inthat target zone
for over 20minutes. Thelonger you maintainyour target heart rate, the morefat your bodywill burn.

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

Note: Aswith all exercises andfitness regimens, always use your best judgment when you increase your

exercise time or intensity.

Fitness Test

The FitnessTest measures the improvements ofyour physicalfitness level. Thetest compares your power output (inWatts) to your
heart rate. As you become more fit youwill produce more power (Watts) at a givenheart rate.

When the test starts, the power (Watts) slowly increases. This meansyou will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate
increases. The Watts continue to increase automatically until your heart rate reaches the "Test Zone." This zone is individually
computed to be near75percent of your maximumheart rate. When you reachthe TestZoneyour machine holds theWatts steady
for 3 minutes. This lets you reach a stable condition (where your heart rate becomes steady). At the end ofthe 3 minutes, the
Console measures your heart rate and the power output (Watts). These numbers,along with information about your age and
weight, are computed to produce a"Fitness Score".

Note: FitnessTest scores should only be compared to your previous scores and notother users.

Overtime, you will output more Watts of power at acertain Heart Rate.Compareyour FitnessScores to seeyour improvement.

Heart Rate Control (HRC) Program

The Heart RateControl (HRC)program lets you set a heart rate goalfor yourworkout. Theprogram monitorsyour heart rate inbeats
per minute (BPM)from the Contact HeartRate(CHR)sensors on the machine orfrom a Heart RateMonitor (HRM)chest strap.

Note: The console must be able to readthe heart rate information from the CHRsensors or HRMfor the HRC

programto work correctly.

If you goto the HRCprogram from your Userprofile, the Target HeartRateprogram uses your age and other usersetup information
to set the Heart RateZonevalues for your workout. If you area GuestUser,you must enter your age andweight. The console
display then gives promptsfor 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%.

_, Consulta physician before you start to exercise inthe 80-90% heart rate zone.

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