To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in Quick Steps to Work-
ing Out on page 35. When the Course prompt appears, enter course number 19.
(Age
must be entered during the Setup prompts.) Once you have finished answer-
ing the remaining Setup prompts, the following occurs:
• The display verifies that it detects a heart rate signal. You need to press the
Speed
▲ key to begin your workout.
• The treadmill provides a 3-minute warm-up period before entering the Weight
Loss Program. During this time, you may make changes to the incline by
using the Numeric keypad or Incline
▲▼ keys. Use the Speed ▼▲ keys
to set the running belt’s speed.
Note: If your heart rate moves into the target zone (55% of 220 minus your
age) for your age during the 3-minute warm-up period, the Weight Loss Pro-
gram begins concurrently. If, for some reason, a negative incline existed at
the end of the warm-up period, the incline returns to zero percent.
Important: Once you exit the warm-up period and begin the course, the
Incline
▼▲ keys no longer affect the actual incline of the treadmill. Instead
the keys are used to change your target heart rate. If you change your target
heart rate, the treadmill automatically readjusts the incline so that your heart
rate remains on target.
• After the warm-up period, the treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to
keep your heart rate at the selected target. Check the SmartRate
® display to
see if you are in your preferred zone (weight loss).
CAUTION: A warning message will appear if you go above your maximum
recommended heart rate target zone. Heed the warning and get permis-
sion from your personal physician before working out above the maxi-
mum recommended zone for your age and fitness level. See Diagram 23
on page 38 for the recommended target zones.
• When you reach the time limit, a cool-down period begins. You can override
the speed and incline by pressing the
▼ or ▲ keys.
Note: The speed remains constant, if you were at or below 0.5 mph (1.0 kph).
GOAL-BASED COURSES
These C966 courses (Distance Goal and Calorie Goal) are similar to the Manual
course except that the user’s position and course duration are based on a “distance”
or “calorie” goal. You can use the number keys or the appropriate
▼▲ keys any
time during the course to change the incline or speed. When you complete the
goal set for the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.
Note: A club time limit may exist for these courses. Refer to Club Information on
page 21.
