■When the desired difficulty LEVEL has been entered, press the 
key to accept the displayed LEVEL.
5.If desired, you can use the personal fan during your workout (see “Using the Personal Fan” for details).
6.If desired, you can use the SelectFit™ feature to alter or remove upper body workout for the program (see “Using SelectFit™” for details).
7.You can adjust the resistance LEVEL during the program, using either of the following methods:
■Use the 
keys to enter a resistance level (from 1 to 20). When the desired level has been entered, press the 
key to confirm the resistance level.
■Press the

TRAINING TOOLS PROGRAMS
The TRAINING TOOLS programs include the HEART RATE CONTROL and WATTS CONTROL programs. When using the HEART RATE CONTROL programs, use of a heart rate strap (rather than the heart rate grips) is recommended. (NOTE: Heart rate strap is not included with the Total Body Trainer.)
HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAMS
TRAINING TOOLS offers both a Dynamic Heart Rate Control program and a Constant Heart Rate Control program.
NOTE: For best results, use a heart rate strap. If user is wearing a heart rate strap, the Total Body Trainer will automatically use the data from the heart rate strap.
To operate the Dynamic Heart Rate Control program:
This heart rate feature is designed to gradually elevate your heart rate to the upper end of your selected training range, then gradually decrease your heart rate to the lower end of your selected training range by dynamically controlling strid- ing resistance. During the workout, this cycle will repeat several times until the time goal is complete, creating an interval training effect that is customized to the user’s desired heart rate training range.
During program setup, there must be at least an 20 BPM dif- ference between the lower heart rate limit and upper heart rate limit to ensure an interval workout.
By including interval exercise in your regular aerobic pro- gram, greater effects are noticed. Your heart and muscles will adapt to the increases in demand by utilizing stored calories for energy more effectively. Dynamic Heart Rate Control may potentially result in more calories expended. It will strengthen the heart, provide stress relief and variety to a workout. This program is more effective in training the body to remove excess lactic acid from the muscles.
To calculate your training zone, use the following formulas: (theoretical max HR = 220 - Age)
Heart Rate Training Range Upper Level |
| |
_____________________x | 0.75 | = |
___________________________ |
| |
Your Theoretical Max | Training Range Upper Limit |
|
Heart Rate Training Range Lower Level |
| |
_____________________x | 0.60 | = |
___________________________ |
| |
Your Theoretical Max | Training Range Lower Limit |

NOTE: Calculating your theoretical maximum heart rate using age is an approximation. For more information, please contact a fitness professional or doctor.
