The same target heart rate is programmed for all segments of this program. Both heart rate programs-As you pedal, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.

When one of the two lower indicators lights, increase your pace; when one of the two upper indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
