Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate
A heart rate receiver is an integral part of the display so you can 
monitor your heart rate while exercising. If you wear a chest strap, your 
heart rate (beats per minute) appears on the display.
The Precor web site (www.precor.com) has several suggestions for 
workouts with varying levels of intensity. It provides many workout 
details that include the appropriate target heart rate.
The cycle includes a heart rate program that lets you exercise based 
on a specified target heart rate. As you exercise, the program monitors 
your heart rate and automatically maintains it within a few beats per 
minute of your selected target. To use this program, press the 
PROGRAMS - HEART RATE key. For more information, refer to 
Programs.
Heart Rate Analysis
Every time you complete a program using the chest strap, the display 
provides a heart rate analysis after the workout summary. The heart 
rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate signal is received 
while exercising. 
Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum heart rate 
achieved during your workout. A third display appears, if you entered 
your age, and indicates the amount of time your heart rate remained 
between the target zones shown.
