GOAL SETUP SCREENS
•Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout). Allows the user to choose a predetermined length of time for the workout.
Users may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, or TIME IN ZONE (only available for heart rate programs) and Marathon Mode (if enabled).
For Distance, Calories, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how long it takes to reach the goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose COOLDOWN from the Control Panel to go immediately into the Cooldown Phase, or choose CHANGE WORKOUT to access a different program.
