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.
