WEIGHT LOSS

Table 4 briefly explains the purpose of each program.

Table 4. Weight Loss Programs

Program	Description
Weight Loss	Use this program if you are beginning or
(9.31 only)	returning to a regular fitness routine. The
	workout time is fixed at 28 minutes and
	consists of seven 4-minute intervals. You are
	not prompted for a workout time. To monitor
	your heart rate, wear a chest strap. Use the
	SmartRate display and maintain your heart rate
	within the FAT BURN zone.
Weight Loss HR	Improve fat-burning results and increase
(9.33 only)	endurance every time you exercise. This
	program helps you achieve weight loss and
	increase your aerobic capacity. The program
	maintains your heart rate between the weight
	loss and cardiovascular zones: 55% - 75% of
	your maximum aerobic heart rate. Refer to
	Heart Rate Features.
	During the program, you cannot adjust your
	target heart rate. The program monitors your
	heart rate and automatically adjusts the incline
	or speed throughout five stages: warm-up,
	weight loss, cardiovascular, weight loss, and
	cool down. Forty percent of the workout time is
	spent in each weight loss zone while the other
	20 percent is maintained in the cardiovascular
	zone.
