GOAL SETUP SCREENS

•Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout). Allows the user to choose a predetermined length of time for the workout.

Users may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, or TIME IN ZONE (only available for heart rate programs).

For Distance, Calories, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how long it takes to reach the goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose COOLDOWN from the Control Panel to go immediately into the Cooldown Phase, or choose CHANGE WORKOUT to access a different program. For more information, see Section 4.2 Using the Workouts, Selecting a Goal Type.

NOTE: Once a goal type is set, it cannot be changed during a workout, without using the RESET button, resetting the workout.

For information on how to set, and get maximum benefit from, these type of workout goals consult a Personal Trainer. For further information on Zone Training see section 3.1 of Heart Rate Zone Training titled Why Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise?

•Level: Choose the programmed intensity level of the workout. Levels range from 0 to 25.

•Target Heart Rate: (heart rate workouts only) Gives a recommended heart rate* according to age. For Fat Burn, the target heart rate is computed at 65% of the theoretical maximum† heart rate . For Cardio, the target heart rate is computed at 80%. For more information on Target Heart Rate, see Section 3, Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise.

•Watts: The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the mechanical rate of work. For the Watts program, the user sets a goal time, and then the program provides the level of exer- tion needed to keep the Watts equal to the goal during the duration of the workout.

•METs: The MET is an expression of the rate of work for the human body at rest, or a metabolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at rest. For the METs program, the user sets a goal time, and then the program provides the level of resistance needed to bring METs expended equal to the goal during the duration of the workout.

VALUE SETUP SCREENS

•Weight: Enter an accurate weight so that METs can be calculated. (If weight is entered METs will toggle with WATTS on the Workout Progress Screen.)

•Age: Allows heart programs to accurately determine target heart rate.

•Gender: For accurate Fitness Testing.

†Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to

220 minus an individual’s age.

*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117
