TYPES OF WORKOUT SETUP SCREENS

GOAL SETUP SCREENS

•Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout.) Allows the user to set a predetermined length of time for the workout.

Users may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, MARATHON MODE, or TIME IN ZONE (only available for heart rate programs).

For Distance, Calories, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how long it takes to reach the goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose COOLDOWN from the Bottom Console to go immediately into the Cooldown Phase, or choose CHANGE WORKOUT to access a different program. For more information, see Section 4.2 Using the Workouts, Selecting a Goal Type.

Marathon Mode is an un-timed workout. The workout will continue until ended by the user.

For information on how to set, and get maximum benefit from, these type of workout goals consult a Personal Trainer. For further information on Zone Training see section

3.1of Heart Rate Zone Training titled Why Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise.

•Level: Choose the programmed intensity level of the workout. Levels range from 1 to 20.

•Incline: Choose the amount of incline on the treadmill.

•Speed: Use to set the striding belt speed of the treadmill.

•Target Heart Rate*: (heart rate workouts only) Gives a recommended heart rate according to age. For Fat Burn, the target heart rate is computed at 65% of the theoreti- cal maximum† heart rate . For Cardio, the target heart rate is computed at 80%. For more information on Target Heart Rate, see Section 3, Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise.

VALUE SETUP SCREENS

•Weight: Entering an accurate weight allows calories to be more accurately calculated, and enables Calories Burned, Calories per Hour, Watts and METs to appear on the Workout Progress screen.

•Age: Allows heart programs to accurately determine target heart rate.

•Gender: For accurate Fitness Testing.

†Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.

*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117
