Detach the magnetic safety key cord from your clothing and place the
safety key in the OFF position on the electronic console. Placing the safety
key in the OFF position trips the circuit breaker and turns OFF the treadmill.
To prevent unauthorized use, remove the safety key from the treadmill and
store it in a safe place.
Using the Manual Course Mode
Manual mode lets you use the treadmill for an indefinite period of time while
controlling the speed and incline of your workout. All of your workout statistics
are compiled and displayed on the electronic console.
To use the manual mode, follow the steps in
Working Out on Your M9.20/s
Treadmill. At the “SELECT COURSE” prompt, choose “MANL” and press
ENTER.
Changing the Interval Course Profile
Interval training provides numerous benefits. Since interval training segments
the workout into smaller components, a 20- or 30-minute workout seems to
pass more quickly. In addition, studies have shown that it is a more efficient
method for achieving aerobic benefits—you start seeing improved cardio-
vascular fitness much sooner with less effort. Studies also show that people
who interval train are more likely to stick with their fitness program.
The interval course on the M9.20/s treadmill lets you set the course intervals
according to your training regimen. It alternates between 60 seconds of “Rest”
and 60 seconds of “Work.” During the Rest interval, you can walk or jog slowly;
during the Work interval, you can stride quickly or run. You set the speed for
the first rest and work interval and the software takes over from there, repeating
the intervals throughout the course until you press the STOP key.
At any point during the workout, you can change the speed of the current
interval. For example, if 8 mph is a little faster than you prefer during a Work
interval, simply use the SPEED key to reduce speed. The software
remembers the new speed for the next Work interval.
To help you monitor your workout, you can set the treadmill’s electronic display
to SCAN. This mode displays a sequential readout on DISTANCE, TIME,
SPEED, CALORIES, and INCLINE.
Note: If you pause your workout during an Interval mode, you must reset the
speed of the mode you were in when you paused your workout. For example, if
you paused your workout during the Rest interval, you must reset the speed for
that interval. In this example, you would not need to reset the speed for the
Work interval since it is stilled stored in memory.
