TARGET HEART RATE: Automatically adjusts resistance to maintain your target heart rate. Perfect for simulating
the intensity of your favorite sport or everyday activity. Time-based goal.
1) Select Target Heart Rate program and press ENTER.
2) Select TIME using and press ENTER.
3) The HEART RATE window will flash showing the default target heart rate of 80 beats per minute. Select your target
heart rate (from the chart above) using and press START to begin program.
HEART RATE TRAINING
The first step in knowing the right intensity for your training is to
find out your maximum heart rate (max HR = 220 – your age).
The age-based method provides an average statistical prediction
of your max HR and is a good method for the majority of people,
especially those new to heart rate training. The most precise
and accurate way of determining your individual max HR is to
have it clinically tested by a cardiologist or exercise physiologist
through the use of a maximal stress test. If you are over the age
of 40, overweight, have been sedentary for several years or
have a history of heart disease in your family, clinical testing is
recommended. This chart gives examples of the heart rate range
for a 30-year-old exercising at 5 different heart rate zones. For
example, a 30-year-old’s max HR is 220 – 30 = 190 BPM and
90% max HR is 190 × 0.9 = 171 BPM.
NOTES:
• Target heart rate is selected in multiples of 5 beats.
• There is a warm-up built into this program.
• After the warm-up, the resistance will automatically adjust to bring
your heart rate within 5 beats of the target number you selected at
the beginning of the program.
• If there is no heart rate detected, the unit will not change
resistance levels up or down.
• If your heart rate is 25 beats over your target zone, the
program will shut down.

ELEGANT+ CONSOLE PROGRAM INFORMATION
SPRINT 8®: The Sprint 8 program is an anaerobic interval program designed to build muscle, improve speed,
and naturally increase the release of human growth hormone (HGH) in your body. Producing HGH through
exercise and a proper diet has been shown to be an effective way to burn fat and build lean muscle mass,
according to Phil Campbell, author of Ready, Set, Go! Synergy Fitness. Please go to Mr. Campbell’s website,
www.readysetgofitness.com, for more details about this efficient new approach to fitness.
1) WARM-UP should gradually increase your heart rate and increase respiration and blood flow to working muscles. The
warm-up is controlled by the user to meet your specific needs.
2) INTERVAL TRAINING starts immediately after the warm-up with a 30-second sprint interval. Seven recovery intervals of
one minute and 30 seconds will alternate with the eight 30-second sprint intervals. The message display will prompt you
to increase your RPMs during the sprint interval and decrease RPMs during the recovery interval. A difference of 30 to
50 RPM between sprint interval and recovery interval is recommended for bikes. A difference of 20 to 30 RPMs between
sprint interval and recovery interval is recommended for elliptical trainers.
3) COOL-DOWN helps return your body’s systems to resting levels. Less demand is placed on your heart during recovery
if an appropriate cool-down is used following the exercise.
In order to keep track of each segment/interval, the segment time is counted down in the timer. It takes only 20 minutes to
complete the Sprint 8 workout.
