Heart Rate Readings
Contact Handles
Heart rate can be read by using the contacts on the handlebars for about ten seconds, or more for more exact results. It’s nice they are positioned in an ergonomic way, but readings have a 15% error percent. This happens frequently on treadmills, not just on this one.

Additionally, the display will give you the number of vertical feet you’ll be climbing and an incline profile.
For an all-terrain trails workout, also select the difficulty level. Select the workout. You’ll have the duration and the approximate number of calories you’ll burn. Also, this type of workout will offer a topographic map of the trail.
