ZONE TRAINING→ + WORKOUTS

During the setup for each of these workouts, the treadmill computer calculates a target heart rate* based on age and the workout type. The MESSAGE CENTER displays this target rate and prompts the user to accept or change it. The workout program uses this value as the upper heart rate within the target zone. The computer then calculates the lower value of the zone, based, again, on the selected program. The user wears a chest strap throughout the workout, enabling the computer to track the length of time spent in the target zone. If the heart rate goes above the theoretical maximum† for more then 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause mode. Zone Training + workouts include: FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and

EXTREME HEART RATE.

FAT BURN

This workout is designed to maintain a recommended target heart rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the treadmill to reach and maintain the target. This system eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel.

CARDIO

This is a higher-intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat burning. It is virtually identical to FAT BURN, except that the recommended target heart rate is calculated at 80% of a theoretical maximum to place a heavier workload on the heart muscle.

NOTE: Change the target heart rate at any time during a workout by using the ARROW keys.
