Setting “goals” Once you select a workout program, you can set “goals” for either TIME, DISTANCE, or CALORIES. For instance, if you set a CALORIE goal of 100, once you start the program, you will notice that the CALORIE display will count down from 100 to 0.

We recommend that you set only one goal (TIME or DISTANCE or CALORIES,) for each exercise.
