Changing Levels
You can only increase or decrease the resistance level by
pressing the UP or DOWN buttons when in the fi rst interval
column, which is the warm-up column. This enables you to
set your starting warm-up level. A longer warm-up at lower
resistance can burn more calories than a shorter warm-up at
higher resistance. After the program exits the fi rst interval
warm-up column, the UP and DOWN buttons become
inoperative, and the program automatically adjusts the
resistance to bring you into your selected zone.
The program is designed to slowly bring you up to your
selected heart rate workout zone, hold you within that zone
by reading your heart rate, and adjust the level of resistance
to keep your workout within that zone. The program then
slowly brings you down into a cool-down zone at the end of
the program by reducing the resistance level in the last two
columns.
As a precaution, if your heart rate is above your selected
heart rate zone and the resistance level is at the minimum
level for 30 seconds, the message “SLOW DOWN” will
appear in the alphanumeric display. If after one more minute
your heart rate is still above your selected heart rate zone,
the message “STOP” will display and the program will end.
Stop or Pause the Program
1 Press the START/PAUSE button to stop or pause
your workout. The display will show “PRESS
RESULT OR PRESS START.
2 To stop the program, press the RESULTS button; the
computer will show your workout results and end the
program.
3 To pause the program, press START/PAUSE; the
computer will resume the program where you left off.
CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR THE HEART
