HOW TO USE THE PULSE PROGRAMS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING:

If you have heart

 

 

problems, or if you are over 60 years of age

 

 

and have been inactive, do not use the pulse

 

 

programs. If you are taking medication regu-

 

 

larly, consult your physician to find whether

 

 

the medication will affect

your exercise heart

 

 

rate. Note: The pulse programs require an

 

 

 

optional chest pulse sensor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

Insert

the key fully into the console.

 

See HOW

TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 10.

2 Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.

You must wear the optional chest pulse sensor in order to use a pulse program. To put on the chest pulse sensor, follow the instructions included with the chest pulse sensor.

3 Select one of the two pulse programs.

When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected and the manual indicator will light. To select

one of the pulse programs, press the Select Workout button repeatedly until one of the two pulse program indicators lights.

The profiles on the console show how the target heart rate will change during the programs. The Time/Segment Time display will show how long the selected program will last.

4 Enter your age.

 

When a pulse

 

program is se-

 

lected, an age

 

setting will begin

 

to flash in the

 

Calories/Pulse

 

display. If you

 

have already entered your age, simply press the

 

Enter button. To enter your age, press the

and

buttons. The buttons can be held down to enter

 

your age quickly. When your age is shown, press

 

the Enter button.

This number is the

maximum heart rate setting

for

 

the program. If Pulse program 1 is selected, the

 

 

 

 

 

maximum heart rate setting can be from 65% to

 

 

 

 

 

85% of your

maximum possible heart rate

(your

maximum possible heart rate is 220 minus your age); if Pulse program 2 is selected, the maximum heart rate setting can be from 65% to 80% of your maximum possible heart rate. Note: Your maxi- mum possible heart rate is an estimate only.

For example, if you are 30 years old, your maxi- mum possible heart rate is 190 (220 minus 30

equals 190). Therefore, if Pulse program 1 is se- lected, the maximum heart rate setting can be from

123 to 161 (65% of 190 is 123; 85% of 190 is 161).

If you want to change the maximum heart rate set- ting, press the and buttons. The buttons can be held down to change the setting quickly. When the desired setting is shown, press the Enter button.

Press the Start button or the Speed

button

to start the program.

 

A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-

mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

Each program is divided

into several time seg- ments of different lengths. The Time/

Segment Time display

will show both the time remaining in the pro-

gram and the time remaining in the current seg- ment. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. When only three seconds re- main in the first segment of the program, a series of tones will sound and the next segment will begin. As you exercise, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically change as needed to keep your heart rate near the current target

heart rate setting.

The program will continue until the Time/Segment Time display counts down to zero. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
