key. The incline level is set to zero by default. 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. The table below lists the preset speed for each key followed a range of
possible alternate speeds for that key.

The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical
maximum
(HRmax) for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap or
grasps the Lifepulse
TM
sensors. If the user is not wearing a 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 eliminates over- 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 be only changed by the user

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). For example, a 40-year-old user's rec-
ommended THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117, or 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-
40)*.65 = 117.
