When the console is activated, hold down the COOLDOWN button and press the PERSONAL TRAINER button simulta-
neously.
Using the ARROW keys, scroll to, and select, the “PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT ENTRY” option and press
ENTER. (If the alternate option, “ERASE PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS”, is selected, the computer deletes setup
information for all
PERSONAL TRAINER
workouts and the MESSAGE CENTER displays "PERSONAL TRAINER
WORKOUTS ERASED". Then the MESSAGE CENTER displays "PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT ENTRY").
Select a number, from 1 to 6, to identify the new workout. Use the NUMERIC keypad or the ARROW keys. Then press
ENTER.
If a
PERSONAL TRAINER
workout already has been created for that number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to
either modify the workout or proceed to another number. Pressing the CLEAR key overwrites the previously created workout,
making it possible to create a new workout for that number. Pressing ENTER bypasses the number and proceeds to another
number.
If a
PERSONAL TRAINER
workout has not been created for a selected number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the
prompt, "BEGIN PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT CREATION".
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to enter a duration time for the entire workout. Using the NUMERIC keypad,
enter a duration and press ENTER.
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select the workout type. Options are “TARGET HEART RATE PERCENT-
AGE” or “LEVEL”. The latter type is for custom hill workouts. Use the ARROW keys to toggle between the options, and
press ENTER to select one of them.
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select a target heart rate or an intensity level for the first interval, depending
on the type of workout chosen in an earlier step. Use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad. A
PERSONAL TRAINER
workout consists of 30 intervals, so the length of each interval is equal to the workout duration value divided by 30. After
entering the value, press ENTER. Repeat this set of steps for each of the following 29 intervals. To keep the preceding value
for the current interval, simply press ENTER. At the end of this setup, the MESSAGE CENTER displays “PERSONAL
TRAINER WORKOUT COMPLETED”. The new
PERSONAL TRAINER
workout is ready to use.
Press the ENTER key to set up another workout. OR
Press the CLEAR key. The MESSAGE CENTER will display “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START.”
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). For example, a 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the
EXTREME HEART RATE
TM
WORKOUT is 153. The workout program targets a standard 85 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-
40)*.85 = 153.
