TYPES OF WORKOUT SETUP SCREENS
GOAL SETUP SCREENS
• Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout) allowing the user to set a predeter-
mined length of time for the workout.
Users may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, or TIME IN ZONE (only
available for heart rate programs).
For Distance, Calories, Pace, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how long it takes to reach the
goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose COOL DOWN from the bottom of the dis-
play to go immediately into the cool down phase, or choose CHANGE WORKOUT to access a different program. For
more information, see Section 4.2, Using the Workouts, Selecting a Goal Type.
For information on how to set, and get maximum benefit from, these type of workout goals consult a Personal Trainer.
For further information on Zone Training see section 3.1, Why Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise?
• Level: Choose the programmed resistance level of the workout. Levels range from 1 to 25.
• Target Heart Rate*: (heart rate workouts only) Gives a recommended heart rate according to age. For Fat
Burn, the target heart rate is computed at 65% of the theoretical maximum

heart rate. For Cardio, the target
heart rate is computed at 80%. For more information on Target Heart Rate, see Section 3, Heart Rate Zone
Training Exercise.
VALUE SETUP SCREENS
• Weight: Entering an accurate weight allows calories to be calculated, and enables Calories Burned, Calories per
Hour, and METs to appear on the Workout Screen.
• Age: Allows heart rate programs to accurately determine target heart rate.
• Gender: Used in the Fit Test prediction equation and associated fitness rating.
†
Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user’s recommended THR for the HEART RATE HILL and
HEART RATE INTERVAL workouts is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
