QUICK START workouts are the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting a specific workout program. Begin a QUICK START workout by pressing the WALK, JOG, or RUN buttons on the Activity Zone. After the WALK, JOG, or RUN key is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins immediately at the pre-programmed speed for the respective key pressed. While in this MANUAL workout, the user may at any time toggle between the three pre-programmed speeds: Walk (2 mph / 3.2 kph), Jog (4 mph / 6.4 kph), and Run (6 mph / 9.7 kph). The target heart rate will not be displayed during a QUICK START workout.
