HEART RATE CONTROL (HRC) Workouts
The HRC workouts are accessible from the top-level workouts screen. An HRC workout allows the user to select from two different modes of operation that automatically adjust resistance based on the user’s current measured heart rate and heart rate targets established during the program setup.
The two available HRC program options include the following:

Constant HR
Interval HR

HRC Workout – CONSTANT HR
For a CONSTANT HR workout, the user shall first enter their Age and Target HR for the workout. The Target HR is initially determined based on the following formula:
TARGET HR = (220 – AGE) x 0.7

The above equation essentially states that the suggested target is 70% of the user’s suggested maximal heart rate.
As an example, for a 40-year-old, the suggested TARGET HR is (220-40) x 70% or 180 x 0.7 or 126 BPM. Note that when the entry for AGE is changed, the displayed TARGET HR also changes based on the equation defined above. Should the user want to increase or decrease the suggested TARGET HR value they can do so simply by using the applicable PLUS or MI-NUS buttons to adjust.
Once the AGE and TARGET HR values have been entered, press the NEXT button. They will then be given the option of selecting a goal based on time, distance, or energy. Refer to the descriptions above for how time, distance, and energy goals are entered. Once the goal is entered and the user presses the START button, the system shall transition to PROGRAM MODE and the workout shall begin. See the PROGRAM MODE Section below for more details.
To return to the previous screen, simply press the BACK button.

HRC Workout – INTERVAL HR
For an INTERVAL HR workout, the user shall first enter their Age, Lower HR limit, and UP-PER HR limit for the workout. The initial values for the Lower HR and Upper HR limits are determined based on the following formulas:

LOWER HR = (220 – AGE) x 0.6
UPPER HR = (220 – AGE) x 0.8

The above equation essentially states that the suggested lower heart rate limit is 60% of the user’s suggested maximal heart rate and the suggested upper heart rate limit is 80% of the user’s suggested maximal heart rate.

As an example, for a 40-year-old, the suggested LOWER HR limit is (220-40) x 60% or 180 x 0.6 or 108 BPM and the suggested UPPER HR limit is (220-40) x 80% or 180 x 0.8 or 144 BPM. Note that when the entry for AGE is changed, the displayed LOWER
HR and UPPER HR limits also change based on the equations defined above. Should the user want to increase or decrease either the suggested LOWER HR or UPPER HR values they can do so simply by using the applicable PLUS or MINUS buttons to adjust.
Once the AGE and LOWER HR values have been entered, press the NEXT button.
Next, confirm the UPPER HR limit and change it as desired, then press the NEXT button.
Finally, the user will be given the option of selecting a goal based on time, distance, or energy. Refer to the descriptions above for how time, distance, and energy goals are entered. Once the goal is entered and the user presses the START button, the system shall transition to PROGRAM MODE and the workout shall begin. See the PROGRAM MODE Section below for more details.
To return to the previous screen, simply press the BACK button.

CUSTOM Workout Creation
The CUSTOM workout creation mode is accessible from the top-level workouts screen. In the mode, the user can define a unique workout profile and specify either a time, distance, or energy goal.
There are two types of profile entry options. The user can select to enter a Manual (i.e. Constant Torque) profile which allows them to specify a resistance level for 30 unique profile segments or an Auto (i.e. Constant Power) profile where the user will specify the power level in watts for each segment in the profile.
The image below shows the screen’s appearance for creating a Manual (i.e. Constant Torque Mode) profile workout.

The image below shows the screen’s appearance for an Auto (i.e. Constant Power) profile workout.
To adjust a given segment in the profile, a user shall touch the relevant bar and the up/down arrow buttons shall be displayed for that profile segment. Pressing the up button will increment the value by 1 for a Manual workout and by 5 watts for an Auto workout. Pressing the down button will decrease the value by 1 for a Manual workout and by 5 watts for an Auto workout. The current set value for each given segment shall be displayed above the segment’s bar as shown. When in the Manual (i.e. Constant Torque) mode, the range of acceptable values is from 1 to 20. When in the Auto (i.e. Constant Power) mode, the range of acceptable values is from 25 to 400 watts for HOI TOUR+ / CROSS PRO.
Once the profile has been fully defined ned the user shall define a goal based on time, distance, or energy. Refer to the descriptions above for how time, distance, and energy goals are entered. Once the goal is entered and the user presses the START button, the system shall transition to PROGRAM MODE and the workout shall begin. See the PROGRAM MODE Section below for more details.
To return to the previous screen, simply press the BACK button.

SAVED Workouts
In this screen, the user shall be able to select from a list of previously saved workouts. The workout profile, goal, and control method (i.e. – Constant Torque or Auto – constant power) are stored for each saved workout. The screen below shows an example of a list of saved workouts for the currently selected user. Note that the provided list is tied to the selected user and since there are four users provided on a given product, four separate lists shall be stored in the console’s memory. The user can scroll through the list by swiping the list up or down or by using the up/down arrow buttons on the right side of the list. To make a selection simply tap the desired item and then that workout will load from memory and the workout shall automatically begin and the system shall transition to PROGRAM MODE. See the PROGRAM MODE Section below for more details.

Deleting Saved Workouts
To delete a previously saved workout, tap and hold the desired workout in the list for approximately 3 seconds. Once deleted, the workout will be removed from the saved workout list.
To return to the previous screen, simply press the BACK button.
