TARGET HRC (HEART RATE CONTROLLED)

HRC programs work by automatically adjusting the resistance to keep you working out at your target heart rate. To do this the console will need your pulse reading throughout the exercise, which it gets from you placing both hands on the pulse sensors.

If your heart rate is too high, the resistance is decreased.

If your heart rate is too low, the resistance is increased.

This console features 4 heart rate control programs:

• 55% - targeted to operate at 55% of your maximum heart rate.
- 75% - targeted to operate at 75% of your maximum heart rate.
• 90% - targeted to operate at 90% of your maximum heart rate.
• Target - you can set your own target heart rate.

  1. Scroll the wheel up and down to highlight "H.R.C.".
  2. Press "ENTER" to confirm (Push down on the scroll wheel).
  3. Scroll the wheel up and down to select your program (55%, 75%, 90%, target).
  4. As you scroll through the first 3 programs you will see your target heart rate has already been worked out and is displayed for you - If you are happy with one of the target rate values displayed, press the "START/STOP" button to begin exercising.
  5. If you want to enter your own target heart rate, choose the "target" program by pressing down on the scroll wheel.
  6. Scroll the wheel up and down to set a target heart rate.
  7. Press "ENTER" to confirm.
  8. Press "START/STOP" to begin your workout.

TIPS: You can also add to your HRC programs targets based on time, distance or calories. To do this, see the "Target Program" instructions below.

NOTE: THE 90% PROGRAM SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES OR PEOPLE WITH A VERY HIGH LEVEL OF FITNESS - ExERCISING AT THIS LEVEL CAN BE DANGEROUS IF PROPER PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN.

NOTE: PLEASE SEE "ExERCISING WITH YOUR CYCLE" SECTION FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF HEART RATE TRAINING.

NOTE: Some people may not be able to obtain an accurate hand pulse reading due to variations in circulation.

Hand pulse sensors

Adjusting the resistance

- This cycle features a speed independent braking (resistance) system. The resistance is controlled by a magnet, which is moved closer or further away from the flywheel - the closer the magnet is to the flywheel the higher the resistance. The magnet is computer controlled. To adjust, simply scroll the wheel on the console. The resistance levels go from 1 = easy to 16 = hard.

  3. Re-tighten the hand wheel.

TIPS: The basic rule for getting the seat height right is that as the pedal reaches its lowest point, the leg is almost straight.

ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE UNDERTAKING A NEW EXERCISE REGIME. IF YOU EXPERIENCE NAUSEA, DIZZINESS OR OTHER ABNORMAL SYMPTOMS DURING EXERCISE, STOP AT ONCE AND CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

STARTING YOUR WORKOUT

Begin and end each workout with a Warm Up / Cool Down session - a few minutes of stretching to help prevent strains, pulls and cramps.

CORRECT CYCLING FORM

  • Sit on the cycle, with your feet on the pedals and inside the pedal straps.
  • Ensure that the seat height is adjusted correctly - you should be stable and balanced whilst on the saddle. The basic rule for getting the seat height right is that as the pedal reaches its lowest point, the leg is almost straight.
    • Try to ensure that your back is straight whilst exercising, especially for long periods.

HOW LONG SHOULD I EXERCISE FOR?

That really depends on your current level of fitness. If you're just starting out on a new exercise program, you should start gradually and build up - do not try to do too much too quickly. 30 minutes, 3 times a week should be enough. Don't push yourself too hard - you should never feel overly exhausted during or following exercise.

HEART RATE TRAINING

To get the most out of your new piece of fitness equipment and see the best results from your training you should exercise at the right level of effort, and that means listening to your heart! Working out to a target heart rate means you can direct your workout to achieve different goals:

Good health - For those wishing to improve quality of life and general well being, your sessions will need to be done at an intensity of between 50 - 60% of your estimated maximum heart rate, should last about 30 minutes and can be done on most days of the week.

Weight loss - To see a significant reduction in body fat, your sessions must be a little more intense - between 60 - 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate. These sessions can also be performed on most days of the week for up to 30 minutes.

Improving fitness levels - These sessions should be performed at 70 - 80% of your estimated maximum heart rate and can also involve bouts of interval training that would have your heart rate peaking for short times near your maximum heart rate level. These are intense sessions and will require at least a 48 hour rest between sessions.

CALCULATING YOUR TARGET HEART RATE

First, you need to find your estimated maximum heart rate using the formula "220 minus your age in five years". So, if you are 35 years old your estimated maximum heart rate is: 220 - 35 = 185 beats per minutes (BPM)

Next, to calculate your target heart rate, simply multiply your estimated maximum heart rate (185 BPM) by the applicable percentage. So, if your goal is better heart: 185 × 60% = 111 BPM

NOTE: The important issue to remember with all estimated calculations is that they are just estimates - if you don't feel comfortable exercising at your target then reduce it to a level you are comfortable with. Heart rate training requires you to monitor your heart rate throughout the workout. For this we recommend using a chest strap (if you machine has a wireless receiver) or a heart rate monitor.

HOW TO TAKE CArE OF YOUR CYCLE

STOrAgE

Keep the cycle in a dry place with as little temperature variation as possible. Try to protect from dust and always unplug when not in use.

CLEAnIng

Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe the surfaces. Mild detergent may be used if necessary.

NOTE: Never remove the protective casing.

mAInTEnAnCE

Ensure you regularly check components for wear and make sure all the nuts and bolts are tightened before each exercise session.

TrOUBLESHOOTIng

If you are having problems with your heart rate reading please note that some fibres used in clothes eg) polyester, create static electricity that may prevent a reliable heart rate reading. Mobile phones, TV's, microwaves and other electrical appliances that generate an electromagnetic field may also interfere with heart rate measurement.

If you are still having problems with your equipment. please get in touch with your local YORK® distributor using the details found in the Customer Support section.

NOTE: If you have a problem with your equipment, before you do anything else please check that all the cables have been connected correctly. Loose cable are very common and many problems can be solved by making sure the cables are properly connected.
