HEART RATE INFORMATION
CHOOsE A WORKOUT
• Determine your level of tness: beginner,
intermediate, or advanced.
• Determine your immediate goal: endurance
training, cardio-conditioning, or weight loss.
If you are a beginner, start with a cardio-conditioning
workout to gradually adjust your body to the demands of
exercise. Over a recommended eight-week period, you will
increase your endurance and strength.
For all tness levels, plan to exercise at an appropriately
challenging pace for 20 to 30 minutes a day. Wear a chest
strap to monitor your heart rate. Supplement your plans
with tness workouts from the Precor web site
(www.precor.com). The Precor web site also provides
expert advice to help you reach your tness goals.
MONITOR YOUR HEART RATE
The SmartRate and heart rate displays provide visual cues
that help you adjust your tness routine to reach your
goals. Use these features to keep your heart rate within
the target zones.
Wear a Chest Strap
During a workout, the heart rate features appear on
the display when you wear a chest strap. To receive an
accurate reading, the chest strap needs to be in direct
contact with your skin. After you put on the chest strap,
face the display console for a minimum of 15 seconds. This
allows the receiver in the console to recognize the signal
from the chest strap.
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap
water (Diagram A).
IMPORTANT: Do not use deionized water. It does
not have the proper minerals and salts to conduct
electrical impulses.
2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest.
The strap should feel snug, not restrictive
(Diagram B).
3. Make sure that the chest strap is right side up, lies
horizontally across your chest, and is centered in
the middle of your chest (Diagram C).
When these steps are complete, you are ready to view
your heart rate.
Touch-Sensitive Handrail Grips
Several Precor products incorporate touch-sensitive
heart rate grips on the handrails. If you prefer to use
the touch-sensitive handrail grips, use both hands.
Make sure both hands are moist (not dry) and avoid
grasping the sensors too tightly.
Note: For the best heart rate monitoring results, wear a
chest strap.
sMARTRATE® FEATUREs
When you begin an exercise session, a blinking
segment in the SmartRate display appears if you
entered your age during the setup phase. The blinking
segment indicates the current zone of your heart rate.
The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is
your maximum aerobic heart rate:
207 - (age x 0.67), multiplied by a percentage.
For the ideal weight loss range, your heart rate should
remain between 55% and 69% of your maximum
aerobic heart rate. To improve your overall
cardiovascular and respiratory tness level, maintain
your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate. For the greatest benets,
maintain your heart rate in either zone for 30 minutes or
more at least three times a week.
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed
85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate or go
above your target zone (Diagram D).
COOl DOWN AFTER YOUR WORKOUT
Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout
because it helps reduce muscle stiness and
soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the
working muscles. Cooling down for at least three
minutes helps provide a smooth transition that allows
your heart rate to return to its normal, non-exercising state.
