2 TRAINING PROGRAM CHARACTERISTICS

HR control training

•This training program is for exercising while maintaining a set pulse rate. The incline of the running belt will change automatically so that the set pulse rate is maintained. The speed can be adjusted however you like. If the chest-belt heart rate sensor cannot pick up your pulse rate, this program will not work.

•The exercise intensity is set by your target pulse rate (beats per minute = bpm). Select your target pulse rate from a lower position in the target zone for your age.

•If the target you select is difficult to achieve, reduce the target pulse rate by 10 bpm, and continue. Continuing is what is most important here. There is no reason to overdo it from the beginning.

•For those who are confident enough, the target pulse rate can be increased in 10 bpm increments. Refer to the target zone in the illus- tration on pages 22 and 23.

•The exercise time (alarm) is initially set for 20 minutes, but you can change it in 1-minute increments to any value in the range from 0 to 99 minutes. The current conditions on the LCD screen advance along the time scale once every 3 seconds. When 10 minutes is ex- ceeded, the screen will scroll leftward by 5 minutes.

•Exercise per training session should be for at least 15 minutes. If possible, a 20 to 30 minute session is better.

•If weight control (burning calories) is the purpose of your exercise, set the target pulse rate lower so that you can exercise easily. How- ever, extend your exercise time longer, preferably to over 30 min- utes.

Hill profile training

•For this program, select the one of the three patterns that suits your needs. The incline is changed automatically depending on the shape of the mountain. The speed is not changed automatically, so you can adjust the speed however you like.

•The duration of one hill profile is 15 minutes. If your exercise time exceeds 15 minutes, the same hill profile will be repeated until the end of the session.

•Exercise per training session should be for at least 15 minutes. If possible, a 20 to 30 minute session is better.

•The exercise time (alarm) is initially set for 20 minutes, but you can change it in 1-minute increments to any value in the range from 0 to 99 minutes. The current conditions on the LCD screen advance along the time scale once every 3 seconds. When 10 minutes is ex- ceeded, the screen will scroll leftward by 5 minutes.

•There may be those who choose to exercise beyond the pulse limit (200 - age) for their ages, depending on their training goals and physical conditions. If you choose to do so, use sufficient caution, and control your pulse rate.

•The incline is automatically changed to correspond to the shape of the hill profile. If needed, the incline can be further adjusted by pressing the INCLINE +/- buttons. Speed can be adjusted by press- ing the SPEED +/- buttons. Maintain comfortable speeds to match the changing incline.
