LifeSpan TR3000i - Manual (Page 36)

There are two user programs that provide you with the ability to establish customized program profiles
specific to your workout requirements. For each user set-up program, first set the workout time then set
weight then the speed and incline for each segment in the program profile by pressing either the up and
down arrows for speed and incline or using the quick select buttons. After obtaining your desired selec-
tion press enter to move to the next column in the program profile. This program will now be saved for
you each time you select it and press the “start” button.
The TR3000i and TR4000i comes with two types of heart rate control programs- Constant and Interval and
within each of these you can select either a “Speed” control option or an “Incline” control option.
There is a 3 minute warm up for this program prior to the treadmill taking control of the speed or incline.
Note: To use the Heart Rate Control programs the treadmill needs to receive your heart rate throughout the
entire workout either through using the grip pulse pads or a chest strap heart rate transmitter.
Constant Heart Rate Control: The “Constant” program lets you select a single heart rate that you
want to maintain throughout your workout and the treadmill will maintain this heart rate for you by either
adjusting the speed or the incline. After selecting the Constant Heart Rate program the next selection
option will be Incline Mode or Speed Mode. Select which mode you prefer and the treadmill will adjust the
speed or incline every 10 seconds to keep you at your selected heart rate level. For instance, if you select
the incline mode there will be a 3 minute warm up and then the incline will start to adjust each 10 seconds
obtain and maintain your target heart rate. You choose the speed that you want the belt to run and the
treadmill will control the incline.
Typically for Weight Loss set the target heart rate at 65% of your predicted maximum heart rate and for
Cardio Training set the target at 80% of your predicted maximum. Refer to the Heart Rate Training section
of this manual to determine your optimal training zones based on your age and exercise objectives or visit:

Interval Heart Rate Control: The “Interval” program is designed to help you increase your aerobic
endurance and improve heart rate recovery. This program lets you select a LOW or recovery target heart
rate and a HIGH target. After a 3 minute warm-up the console will adjust the speed or incline, which ever
you select, every 10 seconds to maintain your LOW target to 2 minutes. Then the console will adjust the
speed or incline to raise your heart rate to the HIGH target that you selected and once again keep it at this
level for 2 minutes and then repeat the process until the end of the workout. It is recommended that you
set the workout time to 20 minutes or higher to use this program effectively.
