STEP 1: Press the Fusion key. Press Enter to select the program. The display will prompt you through the
programming.
STEP 2: If Enter was pressed, the Message Center will now be blinking a value, indicating your Age (default is 35).
Entering your correct age affects the heart rate Bar Graph Display and the Heart Rate programs. Use the
+ / - keys to adjust, then press Enter. Your age determines your recommended maximum heart rate. Since the Bar
Graph Display and the Heart Rate features are based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate, it is
important to enter the correct age for these features to work properly.
STEP 3: The Message Center will now be blinking a value, indicating your Body Weight (default is 150 lbs.). Entering
the correct body weight will affect the calorie count. Use the + / - keys to adjust, then press Enter.
A note about the Calorie display: No exercise machine can give you an exact calorie count because there are too many factors which determine exact
calorie burn for a particular person. Even if someone is the exact same body weight, age and height, their calorie burn may be very different than yours.
The Calorie display is to be used as a reference only to monitor improvement from workout to workout. The calorie count displayed in this program won’t
be accurate because the machine can’t calculate calories expended while strength training
STEP 4: The Message Center will now be blinking the preset top speed of the selected program (3 mph or 5 kph).
Use the + / - keys to adjust, then press Enter. Each program has various speed changes throughout; this allows you
to limit the highest speed the program can reach.
STEP 5: The Message Center will be blinking the preset top incline of the selected program (1.0%). Use the
Incline + / - keys to adjust, then press Enter.
STEP 6: The Message Center will be blinking the number of intervals desired (default is 10; you may select 10, 20, or
30). Use the + / - keys to adjust, then press Enter.
STEP 7: The Message Center will be blinking the desired Interval time (default is 1:00). The time you select will be
the duration of both the cardio & strength intervals. Note: on average you will complete 15-20 repetitions of the
strength exercise in a 0:30 interval. As a general rule, the longer the interval, the less weight (dumbbells) and speed
(treadmill) required; use the + / - keys to adjust, then press Enter.
STEP 8: The Message Center will be blinking the desired recovery time you desire after completing both the cardio &
strength intervals. Use the + / - keys to adjust, then press Enter
Program Example:
The user selects 10 intervals (5 cardio and 5 strength) with the following interval durations – length of each
cardio & strength interval is 0:30, recovery interval is 1:00
Program begins with a 3:00 warm up (1:00 @ 1mph, 1:00 @ 2mph, and 1:00 @ 3mph)
1st cardio interval begins, lasting 0:30; console counts down to 0:00 and the Message Center displays
“STRENGTH INTERVAL BEGIN DUMBBELL ROW”
User steps off of the treadmill to perform the strength exercise. The console counts down to 0:00 and beeps 3x
signaling the user to get back on the treadmill.
Console displays “PRESS START TO BEGIN RECOVERY”; user walks @ 2mph for 1:00
Console then displays 2nd cardio interval and the process proceeds until the user has performed 5 cardio,
strength, and recovery intervals; the 5 strength exercises will be performed
sequentially as listed in this manual.
The last 2:00 are a Cool Down phase with the user walking on the treadmill @ 2 mph
If 20 intervals was selected, you would perform each strength exercise twice, before moving on to the next exercise.
If 30 intervals is selected, you will perform each exercise once, then repeat the
sequence of all 5 exercises a 2nd & 3rd time.
CAUTION
Exercises that require dumbbell use - Select a pair of dumbbells that you will be able to safely and effectively
maneuver over the strength interval time you have chosen.
