Constant HRC is the most well known type of HRC, and is the
easiest to use. The bike will gradually raise your heart rate so
that you reach your target within five to seven minutes. It keeps
you there until 2.5 minutes before the end of your workout
time, then reduces workload by half for a cooldown.
Note that as you tire during your workout, especially in the last
third, workload will usually have to be reduced to keep you at a
steady target heart rate.
To change your target heart rate, press the , keys to
change one bpm at a time, or enter a new target with the
numeric keys and press .
This allows you to do a classic interval workout with the bike
controlling all workloads, including the rest segments. After
reaching your work target just like in Constant HRC, the
workload is immediately reduced by 65%, then controlled so
you reach your rest target within about three minutes.
As soon as you reach your rest target, the workload is
immediately increased to the last workload attained in the work
segment, then controlled to reach your target within about two
minutes.
This pattern repeats until 2.5 minutes before the end of your
workout time, then reduces workload to the last rest segment
workload.
To change your work or rest targets, press the , keys
to change one bpm at a time, or enter a new target with the
numeric keys and press .
