C956i INTERVAL PROGRAM
The three interval programs on the C956i let you select the rest and work
intervals according to your training regimen. In the 1-3 interval program, each
rest interval is followed by three work intervals. In the 1-2 interval program, each
rest interval is followed by two work intervals. In the 1-1 interval program, each
rest interval is followed by one work interval. You set the incline and speed for the
first rest and work interval and the software repeats the intervals throughout the
program. At any point during the workout, you can change the settings of the
current interval by simply pressing the ▼▲ or number keys. The software remem-
bers the new settings and applies it to the appropriate rest or work interval.
Important: If you entered your age during the setup prompts and wear the chest
strap or utilize the “touch” heart rate, you can adjust the rest or work intervals to keep
your heart rate in its recommended zone. For the weight loss mode, try to maintain
your heart rate at the lower end (55% of maximum heart rate) while in the “rest”
intervals and keep it at 70% of maximum heart rate while in the “work” intervals. See
Diagram 23.
To use the interval program, take the following steps:
1. Follow the instructions in
Quick Steps to Working Out
.
2. At the program prompt, use the ▼▲ keys or numeric keys to select an
Interval program.
3. Press ENTER to proceed to the next prompt. When you finish answering the
setup prompts, the Interval program begins.
To set the incline and speed levels for each interval, take the following steps:
1. To program the rest interval, press the INCLINE and SPEED arrow keys to
change the corresponding levels. When the desired settings are displayed,
simply continue working out—you do not need to press ENTER.
The C956i returns to the “rest” settings at the beginning of each rest interval
until you readjust it or end your workout.
2. The same procedure applies to specify the settings for the work interval.
The value that appears in the SEGMENT TIME field indicates the time remaining
in the current interval. Each time the C956i changes intervals, it informs you by
displaying a message. When you complete the time limit set for the program, the
automatic cool-down period begins.
