HOW TO USE A HEART RATE WORKOUT CAUTION: If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the heart rate workouts. If you are taking medication regu- larly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.
1.Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.
For best results, you should wear the optional chest pulse sensor to use a heart rate workout. See page 20 for information on the optional chest pulse sen- sor.
2.Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 14.
3.Select one of the heart rate workouts.
To select one of the two heart rate workouts, press the Heart Rate Control button repeatedly until the desired workout appears in the display.
As each heart rate workout is selected, the maxi- mum incline setting and the duration of the workout will flash in the display for a few seconds. A profile of the target heart rate settings of the workout will scroll across the matrix.
4.Enter your maximum target heart rate if desired. Press the Enter button. Then press the increase and decrease buttons next to the display to change your maximum target heart rate (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 25). Note: If you change the maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity level of the entire workout will change.
5.Press the Start button or the Speed increase button to start the workout.
A moment after you press the button, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first target heart rate setting for the workout. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
Each workout is divided into
each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for consecutive seg- ments.
During each segment of the workout, the console will compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for that segment. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the tar- get heart rate setting. Each time the speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about to change, the speed and/or incline setting will flash in the display to alert you.
The workout will continue in this way until the last segment of the profile flashes in the display and the last segment ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed and/or incline settings are too high or too low, you can change the intensity level of the workout at any time by pressing the Speed and Incline buttons; however, when the console com- pares your heart rate to the target heart rate for the current segment, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
To stop the workout at any time, press the Stop button. To restart the workout, press the Start but- ton. The walking belt will begin to move at 1 mph; however, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for the current segment, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
6. Follow your progress with the display. See step 6 on page 15.
7. Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 7 on page 15.
8. Turn on the fan if desired. See step 8 on page 15.
9. When you are finished exercising, remove the key from the console.
See step 9 on page 15.
