Q UICK S TART
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the QUICK START key is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins.
For accurate caloric expenditure, enter weight using the ENTER WEIGHT button. The incline level is set to zero by de-
fault. Change the level using the INCLINE arrow key. Change the speed using the SPEED key, up or down as desired, or
use the NUMERIC keypad to enter a new speed value.
M ANUAL
The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change incline level or speed at any time.
R ANDOM
The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million different
patterns are possible.
F AT B URN
The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65% of the theoretical maximum (HRmax) for opti-
mal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the Lifepulse
TM
sensors. If the user is not wearing a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW displays a
heart shape, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to grasp the sensors. The console continuously monitors
and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the treadmill to reach and maintain the target. This system elim-
inates over-training and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for
fuel.
Note: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can only be changed by the user.
C ARDIO
The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN, however the target heart rate is calculated at 80% of the theoret-
ical maximum (HRmax). The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the
heart muscle.
Note: The intensity level is changed by incline. Speed can only be changed by the user.
Note: Change the target heart rate at any time by using the NUMERIC KEYPAD.
