| |
| and have been inactive, do not use the pulse |
| |
| programs. If you are taking medication regu- |
| |
| larly, consult your physician to find whether |
| |
| the medication will affect | your exercise heart |
|
| rate. Note: The pulse programs require an |
|

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected and the manual indicator will light. To select
one of the pulse programs, press the Select Workout button repeatedly until one of the two pulse program indicators lights.
The profiles on the console show how the target heart rate will change during the programs. The Time/Segment Time display will show how long the selected program will last.

| This number is the | maximum heart rate setting | for | ||||||||||
| the program. If Pulse program 1 is selected, the |
|
|
|
| ||||||||
| maximum heart rate setting can be from 65% to |
|
|
|
| ||||||||
| 85% of your | maximum possible heart rate | (your | ||||||||||
maximum possible heart rate is 220 minus your age); if Pulse program 2 is selected, the maximum heart rate setting can be from 65% to 80% of your maximum possible heart rate. Note: Your maxi- mum possible heart rate is an estimate only.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your maxi- mum possible heart rate is 190 (220 minus 30
equals 190). Therefore, if Pulse program 1 is se- lected, the maximum heart rate setting can be from
123 to 161 (65% of 190 is 123; 85% of 190 is 161).
If you want to change the maximum heart rate set- ting, press the ▲ and ▼ buttons. The buttons can be held down to change the setting quickly. When the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button.
6 | Press the Start button or the Speed | ▲ button |
to start the program. |
|
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
Each program is divided
into several time seg- ments of different lengths. The Time/
Segment Time display
will show both the time remaining in the pro-
gram and the time remaining in the current seg- ment. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. When only three seconds re- main in the first segment of the program, a series of tones will sound and the next segment will begin. As you exercise, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically change as needed to keep your heart rate near the current target
heart rate setting.
The program will continue until the Time/Segment Time display counts down to zero. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
