HOW TO USE A PULSE WORKOUT
1. Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.
Note: For best results, wear a chest pulse sensor to
use a pulse workout. See page 23 for information
about the optional chest pulse sensor.
2. Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 15.
3. Select one of the four pulse workouts.
To select a pulse work-
out, press the Pulse
button repeatedly.
When a pulse workout
is selected, the workout
duration, workout num-
ber, and maximum tar-
get heart rate will appear in the displays. In addi-
tion, a profile of the heart rate settings of the work-
out will scroll across the matrix.
4. Enter a target heart rate setting.
The maximum target heart rate setting of the work-
out will appear in the Incline/Pulse display. If de-
sired, press the increase and decrease buttons
near the Pulse button to change the maximum tar-
get heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY
on page 28). Note: If you change the maximum
target heart rate setting, the intensity level of the
entire workout will change.
5. Press the Start button to start the workout.
A moment after you press the Start button, the
treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed
and incline settings of the workout. Hold the
handrails and begin walking.
Pulse workouts are divided into one-minute seg-
ments. One target heart rate setting is pro-
grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-
get heart rate setting may be programmed for con-
secutive segments.
D
uring each segment of the workout, the console
will compare your heart rate to the target heart rate
s
etting for that segment. If your heart rate is too far
below or above the target heart rate setting, the
speed and/or incline will automatically increase or
decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the tar-
get heart rate setting.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the display and the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automati-
cally decrease. If this occurs, see the instructions
included with the optional chest pulse sensor.
When the first segment of the workout ends, a se-
ries of tones will sound and all target heart rate set-
tings will move one column to the left. If a new
speed or incline setting is programmed for the next
segment, the new speed or incline setting will ap-
pear in the display. The workout will continue in this
way until the last segment of the workout ends.
The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed and/or incline settings are too high or
too low, you can change the intensity level of the
workout at any time by pressing the Speed and
Incline buttons; however, when the console com-
pares your heart rate to the target heart rate for
the current segment, the speed and/or incline
of the treadmill may change to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
To stop the workout at any time, press the Stop
button. To restart the workout, press the Start but-
ton. The walking belt will begin to move at 1 mph;
however, when the console compares your
heart rate to the target heart rate setting for the
current segment, the speed and/or incline of
the treadmill may change to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
6. Follow your progress with the displays.
See step 5 on page 16.
7. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 16.
8. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
See step 8 on page 16.
CAUTION: If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and
have been inactive, do not use the pulse work-
outs. If you are taking medication regularly,
c
onsult your physician to find whether the
medication will affect your exercise heart rate.
