HOW TO USE A HEART RATE WORKOUT
1.
Put on the chest heart rate monitor.
To use a heart rate workout, you must wear the
chest heart rate monitor or use the handgrip heart
rate monitor. Note: For best results, you should
wear the chest heart rate monitor.
2. Insert the key into the console.
See step 1 on page 15.
3.
Select one of the heart rate workouts.
To select a heart rate workout, press the Heart
Rate Control button repeatedly until the desired
workout appears in the display. Press the Enter
button to select the desired workout.
Select your age and then your weight using the
increase and decrease buttons next to the Enter
button. Press the Enter button after each selec-
tion. Note: To use the constant heart rate and
variable heart rate workouts, you must also enter
your target maximum heart rate. If the target
maximum heart rate setting is changed, the inten-
sity level of the entire workout will change. Note:
To calculate your target maximum heart rate see
EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 28.
4. Press the Start/Stop button to start the
workout.
A moment after the Start/Stop button is pressed,
the walking belt will begin to move and the treadmill
will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the workout. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
The heart rate workouts are divided into several
one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting
is programmed for each segment. The same target
heart rate setting may be programmed for consecu-
tive segments. For a shorter workout, simply stop
the workout before it ends.
During all heart rate workouts, the console will
regularly compare your heart rate to the target
heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below
or above the target heart rate setting for the current
segment, the speed of the walking belt will auto-
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
at any time during the workout, you can adjust the
setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However,
each time the console compares your heart rate to
the target heart rate setting, the speed of the tread-
mill may automatically change to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
To stop or restart the workout at any time, press
the Start/Stop button.
5.
Select a display mode and monitor your prog-
ress with the display.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.

7. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.

CAUTION:
If you have heart
problems, or if you are over 60 years of age
and have been inactive, do not use the heart
rate workouts. If you are taking medication
regularly, consult your physician to find out
whether the medication will affect your exercise
heart rate.
