Programs
Preset workouts are a great way to tailor your workouts to
your fitness goals, stay challenged, and add variety to your
sessions. Most P30 equipment contains six preset workouts.

Heart Rate
Interval
Weight Loss
Variety
Performance
The one exception is the AMT. It does not contain Variety or
Performance workouts, and the Weight Loss workout has
been replaced with a Fat Burner workout.
Manual
In this workout, resistance and speed changes are completely
under your control. The profile is initially a flat line. Any
increase or decrease made in one workout segment will
increase or decrease all remaining portions by the same
amount.
Heart Rate
This workout computes your target heart rate based on the
calculation, 60% of 220 minus your age; however, you can
override this value. The equipment adjusts resistance and/or
incline to maintain your target heart rate while you work out.
When a heart rate signal is not received, a heart shape with a
question mark appears in the upper text display. Recheck your
hand grip on the handheld sensors or the placement of your
chest strap.
For the unit to detect your heart rate, you must grip the
handheld heart rate sensors or wear a chest strap while
exercising. In the presence of both handheld and wireless
data, the handheld data takes precedence and displays.
Interval
The Interval workout is primarily for conditioning your
cardiovascular system. This workout is designed to raise and
lower your heart rate in a repeating fashion for a user-defined
period of time by alternating rest and work intervals. Workout
intensity is adjustable.
