Manual Mode
Manual Mode is not a pre-programmed workout. Instead, it allows you to choose setting as you
workout. You may choose your settings according to how you feel or your endurance level. Since you
remain in control, Manual Mode may be the best choice for beginners or for those who have not worked
out in a long time.
Press the Quick Start key to workout in Manual Mode. To increase or decrease the resistance while in
Manual Mode use the Resistance + - keys. To increase or decrease the incline while in Manual Mode
use the Λ V arrows.
When you workout in Manual Mode, be sure to include a three-to-five minute warm-up and cool-down
period. You can warm-up by setting a low resistance at zero incline and then gradually increase the
incline and resistance to the target for your workout. Reverse this process for your cool-down period,
lowering the resistance gradually and returning the incline to zero.
The Workout Profile
The Workout Profile matrix in the center of the display uses columns of lights to show the progress of
your workout. The height of the column represents METS, specifically the highest METS you reached in
that period. Each column represents 1 minute of your total workout time when in Manual Mode and 15
seconds in every other program.
NOTE: It is conceivable to have two segments of different speed and elevation combinations in the
same met range.
Range of Motion
Press the Incline Λ V keys to change the elevation in increments of 10%. The elevation rises or lowers
in the shape of an arc ranging from 12 to 34.5 degrees (with the chord of an arc). Depending upon the
incline you choose the primary and secondary muscles trained will vary. See Figure 3.
