Weight Loss Programs
The Weight Loss Programs begin with a warm-up period similar to
the heart rate programs, except that the target heart rate is set in
the lower fat burn range during the rest intervals. During the work
intervals, the target heart rate is initially set to 220 minus age
multiplied by 70%. The display lets you know when the incline
levels are about to change.
For the ideal weight loss range, your heart rate should remain
between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. If you
wear a chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips, you can use
SmartRate as a visual cue.
The Custom Weight Loss HRC and Weight Loss HRC Programs
are described in the table in Heart Rate Program Tips. Two
additional programs are available and include:
1 AEROBIC
and
2
AEROBIC
.
Note: The word
AEROBIC
without numbers appears on the 946i
display.
Each program provides varying incline levels to induce fat burn and
weight loss conditioning. Review the profiles to determine which
program is appropriate for your level of fitness.
If you are using an Aerobic Program, you can override the incline
settings for each column by pressing the INCLINE keys. The
changes raise or lower the columns on the remaining portion of the
program profile. You can adjust the pace by press the SPEED keys.
