TR6.8 Treadmill
The Heart Rate Programs use your treadmill’s incline system to adjust your heart rate. Increases and decreases
in elevation affect heart rate much more efciently than changes in speed. Additionally, changes in incline keep
you in control of the machine’s speed instead of the machine controlling you.
Selecting A Heart Rate Program
You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (HR-1) program or the
Cardiovascular (HR-2) program. The Weight Control program attempts to maintain your heart rate at 60% of
your Maximum Heart Rate. The Cardiovascular program attempts to maintain your heart rate at 80% of your
Maximum Heart Rate. Your Maximum Heart Rate is based upon a formula that subtracts your age from 220.
Your age input is performed during the setup mode.
CAUTION!
The target value used in HR-1 and HR-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy
individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If
in question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower target goal.
1. Press the HR1/HR2 key to select the HR1 or HR2 program. Pressing the key once will
show the HR1 program; pressing twice will show the HR2 program.
2. The Display will now be blinking showing the default age value (35). Adjust and press
Enter or press Enter to accept the default.
3. The Display will now be blinking showing the default bodyweight value (150).
Adjust and press Enter or press Enter to accept the default.
4. The Display will now be blinking the default time value (30:00). Adjust the time and press
Enter.
5. The Display will be blinking, showing the default HR for this program. You may
adjust it and press Enter if you want or just press Enter to accept the default value.
6. Press Start to begin program.
** Remember that you must maintain contact with the sensors or wear the chest strap for the
program to work.
Heart Rate Program Operation
NOTE: It is recommended that you use the telemetric chest strap to achieve the best results
with the heart rate programs.
