4.4PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS
Custom interval heart rate and hill workouts may be created by fitness club managers or other authorized personnel.
•Interval heart rate: The trainer can design a workout that sets a different target heart rate for each interval and adjusts the step speed to the user's heart rate. See Section 3, titled Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise for more information on target heart rates.
•Hill: The trainer can create a custom hill workout that sets a different intensity level for each interval.
USING PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS
Once custom workouts are created, users can access them with the PERSONAL TRAINER key. Each custom workout is identified by a numeral, from 1 to 6. To select one, press the PERSONAL TRAINER key. When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER, press the number corresponding to the desired workout, using the NUMERIC keypad. Then, press ENTER and begin the workout.
CREATING A PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT
When the console is activated, hold down the COOL DOWN button, and press the PERSONAL TRAINER button simultaneously. Select a number, from 1 to 6, to identify the new workout. Use the NUMERIC keypad or the ARROWS. Then, press ENTER.
If a custom workout already has been created for that number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to either modify the workout or proceed to another number. Pressing the CLEAR key overwrites the previously created workout, making it possible to create a new workout for that number. Pressing ENTER bypasses the number and proceeds to another number. If a custom workout has not been created for a selected number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt, "BEGIN PERSONAL WORKOUT CREATION."
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to enter a duration time for the entire workout. Using the NUMERIC keypad, enter a duration and press ENTER. The workout cannot exceed the maximum time duration, which is defined in the Optional Settings. See Section 5.1 for more information. The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select the workout type. Options are TARGET HEART RATE PERCENTAGE or LEVEL. The latter type is for custom hill workouts. Use the ARROW keys to toggle between the options, and press ENTER to select one of them.
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select a target heart rate or an intensity level for the first interval, depending on the type of workout chosen in an earlier step. Use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad. A custom workout consists of 30 intervals, so the length of each interval is equal to the workout duration value divided by 30. After entering the value, press ENTER. Repeat this set of steps for each of the following 29 intervals. To keep the preceding value for the current interval, simply press ENTER.
At the end of this setup, the MESSAGE CENTER displays “PERSONAL WORKOUT COMPLET- ED”. Afterward, the MESSAGE CENTER displays “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START”. The new custom workout is ready to use.
