SELECTING AN INTENSITY LEVEL
The steps for setting up a HILL or RANDOM workout include selecting a level. The word “level” refers to a range of incline percentages. The treadmill features 20 levels, with Level 1 having the lowest average incline grade and Level 20 having the highest.
LEVEL | % Incline | LEVEL | % Incline | |
1 | 0.0 - 1.5 | 11 | 2.0 | - 8.5 |
2 | 0.0 - 2.2 | 12 | 3.0 | - 9.2 |
3 | 0.0 - 2.9 | 13 | 3.5 | - 9.9 |
4 | 0.0 - 3.6 | 14 | 5.0 | - 10.6 |
5 | 0.0 - 4.3 | 15 | 5.5 | - 11.3 |
6 | 0.0 - 5.0 | 16 | 6.5 | - 12.0 |
7 | 0.0 - 5.7 | 17 | 7.0 | - 12.7 |
8 | 0.0 - 6.4 | 18 | 8.0 | - 13.4 |
9 | 0.5 - 7.1 | 19 | 8.7 | - 14.1 |
10 | 1.5 - 7.8 | 20 | 9.0 | - 15.0 |
Within each level are seven incline percentages, or hills. In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed in the HILL workout description. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline percentage changes automatically to match that hill.
To change levels during a workout, use any of the ARROW keys.
USING INSTAPACETM FEEDBACK
The InstaPaceTM Feedback feature enables users to monitor their pace, or rate of minutes per mile, while running on the treadmill. This feature must be enabled in the Manager’s Configuration. See Section 5, titled The Manager’s Configuration, for more information. When the user adjusts the treadmill speed, using the SPEED ARROW KEYS, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the MPH and pace simultaneously.
USING ZEROUTTM SPEED CONTROL
If, during a workout, a user decreases the speed to the minimum and continues to hold the DECREASE SPEED ARROW, the speed falls to 0 MPH, which is pause mode. The minimum speed is 0.5 MPH, unless changed in the Manager’s Configuration. See section 5.2, titled Configuration Settings, for more information.
