Hill profile training (Casual mountain climbing)

The incline changes to simulate the effects of climbing up and down mountains. The changing patterns of the incline are shown on the screen.

The following three types of mountain profiles are programmed.

PRF-1: the Rockies

PRF-2: the Cascades

PRF-3: the Pyrenees

The mountain profiles from 1 to 3 are arranged in order of difficulty. Try to start with a profile that looks easy enough for you.

Choose one of the above patterns, and adjust the intensity by selecting your desired speed and incline. When you change the incline pattern, it will be reflected through- out the whole pattern.

The preset training time is 15 minutes.

If you set a longer training time, the same pattern will repeat to match the training time.

Quick start (Manual training - training at a set belt speed)

You designate the belt speed and it stays constant regardless of your pulse rate. This is the basic, traditional way the treadmills have been utilized.

Setting range: 0.5 - 12 mph (Adjustment increment: 0.1 mph) [1.0 - 18.0 km/h (Adjustment increment: 0.1 km/h)] 0 - 12% (Adjustment increment: 0.5%)

Upper pulse limit alarm

For your safety, the upper pulse limit alarm is provided in all programs of the EC-T220. If your pulse rate exceeds this limit, the alarm buzzer sounds and the belt speed automatically drops to the minimum. This function urges the user to stop the exercise.

When your pulse rate has dropped back to within the pulse rate upper limit, restart the exercise by pressing the START button and raising the speed manually.
