4.3 WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS
QUICK START
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins.
For accurate caloric expenditure, enter weight using the ENTER WEIGHT button. The incline level is set to zero by de-
fault. Change the level using the INCLINE arrow key. Change the speed using the SPEED key, up or down as desired, or
use the NUMERIC keypad to enter a new speed value.
MANUAL
The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change incline level or speed at any time.
RANDOM
The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million different
patterns are possible.
FAT BURN
The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65% of the theoretical maximum (HRmax) for opti-
mal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the Lifepulse
TM
sensors. If the user is not wearing a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW displays a
heart shape, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to grasp the sensors. The console continuously monitors
and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the treadmill to reach and maintain the target. This system elim-
inates over-training and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for
fuel.
Note: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can only be changed by the user.
CARDIO
The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN, however the target heart rate is calculated at 80% of the theoret-
ical maximum (HRmax). The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the
heart muscle.
Note: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can only be changed by the user.
Note: Change the target heart rate at any time by using the NUMERIC KEYPAD.
