Calorie goal allows you to choose the number of calories you

wish to burn, and the treadmill will calculate the required speed

and incline to attain this goal, including a 3-minute warm up and

3-minute cool down. For safety and comfort reasons, you set a

maximum speed.

Important Note About Calorie Usage: The treadmill estimates

your calorie usage using formulas from the industry-standard

Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, from the

American College of Sports Medicine. Variations between

individuals make these formulas accurate to only about plus or

minus 20%.

Further error may occur because of the walking and running

transition. The treadmill assumes you are walking at 4 mph or

slower. If you are actually jogging at speeds lower than 4 mph, the

treadmill will greatly underestimate your calorie usage.

Setting Up a Calorie Goal Workout

1. Press Weight Loss until you see the Calorie Goal Workout

prompt, then press Enter.

2. Adjust Weight and enter workout time. This workout time

includes a 3-minute warmup and a 3-minute cooldown.

3. Enter the maximum speed you want the treadmill to never exceed

during the calorie goal workout. Make sure this is a comfortable

speed for you. Note: this speed will not necessarily ever be attained

during the workout. See Step 8 below for more information.

calorie count may not be exactly as you specified, but it should be

within 1%.

4. Enter calorie goal.
