USING HEART RATE TRAINING
WHAT IS HEART RATE TRAINING?
Heart Rate Training means exercising at an intensity that keeps you in your
ideal heart rate zone. Your personal heart rate training zone depends
on your fitness goal, such as weight loss, cardiovascular endurance, or
strength building. VISION FITNESS HRT®programs are set up to keep
you at an ideal heart rate based on your fitness goal. These programs
automatically adjust resistance based on your heart rate readings.
The console features four programs (Target HRT, HRT Weight Loss, HRT
Interval, HRT Hill) that offer the benefits of Heart Rate Training. Refer to Page
17formoredetailsontheseprograms.
 •These programs use the predicted maximum heart rate formula
(220 minus age) to determine your predicted maximum heart rate.
Some individuals have higher or lower maximum heart rates than
determined by this formula. The programs allow you to modify your
Target Heart Rate to achieve your personal goals.
HAND PULSE HEART RATE SENSORS
TheContactHandPulseSensorsareincludedoneachproducttomonitor
your heart rate. To use, grasp both of the sensors with a comfortable grip
duringyourworkout.The consolewill displayyourheartrate.Although
your signal will be displayed immediately, it may take the system a few
seconds to zero in on your actual heart rate.
NOTE:TheContactHandPulseSensorswillworkfortheHRT®programs,
but it is recommended to use the telemetric chest strap for an uninterrupted
signal and ease of use.
USING THE SPRINT 8 PROGRAM
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 as 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 radical new
approach to fitness.
The SPRINT 8 program features intense sprint intervals followed by
recovery intervals. The program includes the following phases:
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
pedal rate during the sprint interval and decrease pedal rate during
therecoveryinterval.Adifferenceof30to50RPMbetweensprint
interval and recovery interval is recommended.
 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.
Dueto thefactthat thisisa specializedtrainingprogram, totalworkout
time is not displayed during the program. The interval time is displayed
in the time window instead. It takes only 20 minutes to complete the
SPRINT 8 workout.

TELEMETRIC HEART RATE CHEST STRAP
The wireless Telemetric Chest Strap uses a pair of electrodes on the
underside of the strap to send your heart rate signal to the console. Prior
to wearing the chest strap, moisten the two rubber electrode pads with
several drops of water. These electrodes must remain wet to provide an
accuratesignal.Weadviseusingthecheststrapagainstyourskin,butit
also functions through a thin layer of wet clothing.
STRAP PLACEMENT
Center the transmitter strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles,
directly over your sternum with the VISION FITNESSlogofacingout.Adjust
the elastic strap so it is snug but comfortable enough for proper breathing.
ALL HRT PROGRAMS
Duringtheworkout,theuserwillgraspthehandpulsesensorsorwear
the telemetric chest strap to send their heart rate signal to a receiver in the
console. The console will continuously monitor the heart rate, adjusting
the resistance level of the Bike to keep your heart rate within several beats
ofyourtargetheartrate.ByusingtheCHANGEDISPLAYkey,theheart
rate feedback window conveniently displays your Heart Rate or % Heart
Rate to keep you informed about your current heart rate. Each program
