HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM CAUTION: If you have heart prob- lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the heart rate programs. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate. 3 Enter your age. When a heart rate program is selected, the word "AGE" and the current age setting will begin to flash in the right display. If you have already entered your age, press the Enter button. If you have not entered your age, press the + or - button beside the Enter button to enter your age, and then press the Enter button. Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program. 1 Insert the key into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 12. 2 Select a heart rate program. To select a heart rate program, press the Heart Rate button repeatedly until "P-11," "P-12," "P-13," or "P-14" appears in the right display. 4 Enter a target heart rate setting for the program. If heart rate program 11 is selected, the letters "PLS" and the target heart rate setting for the program will begin to flash in the right display. If desired, change the target heart rate setting by pressing the + or - button beside the Enter button (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 25). Then, press the Enter button. If heart rate program 11 is selected, a pulse symbol will scroll across the matrix in the left display. If heart rate program 12, 13, or 14 is selected, a profile of the target heart rate settings of the program will appear in the matrix in the left display. Note: During heart rate program 11, your heart rate will remain near a target heart rate setting that you select. During heart rate programs 12, 13, or 14, your heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your age-predicted maximum heart rate. Note: Your maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your age-predicted maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 - 30 = 190). If heart rate program 12, 13, or 14 is selected, the letters "PLS" and the maximum target heart rate setting for the program will begin to flash in the right display. If desired, change the maximum target heart rate setting by pressing the + or - button beside the Enter button (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 25). Then, press the Enter button. Note: If the maximum target heart rate setting is changed, the intensity level of the entire program will change. 18
