The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical
maximum † for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap or grasps the
Lifepulse TM sensors. If the user is not wearing a 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 eliminates over- and under-training, and it
maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel.

The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate is calcu-
lated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum. The higher target promotes cardiovascular
improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.
NOTE: Change the target heart rate at any time by using the NUMERIC KEYPAD.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a
40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. The FAT BURN workout targets
65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.
