3)ENTERING WORKOUT GOALS
SELECTING A GOAL TYPE
Goal Type defaults to TIME (length of workout). When prompted to enter a Goal Time, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed time to the desired value, or key in the desired value with the NUMERIC KEYPAD, and press ENTER.
Workouts can be programmed to target certain types of goals other than the default time goal:
•Distance
•Calories
•Time in zone (for heart rate workouts only)
The Distance Goal feature is designed to build endurance. The user sets a distance goal during the workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a Cooldown Phase and ends afterward. To use this feature:
1.Select a workout (the distance goal is available for any of the workouts.)
2.In the Goal Type setup screen, choose DISTANCE, enter the desired distance goal, and select
ENTER.
3.Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.
4.Begin the workout.
The Calories Goal feature is designed to promote weight loss and weight control. The user sets a calorie goal during the workout setup. Once the goal is met, the workout automatically goes into a Cooldown Phase and ends afterward. To use this feature:
1.Select a workout (the calorie goal is available for any of the workouts.)
2.In the Goal Time setup screen, choose CALORIES, enter the desired calorie goal, and select ENTER.
3.Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.
4.Begin the workout.
The Time in Zone goal enhances a heart rate workout by setting a certain duration within the target heart rate* as a workout goal. The program automatically alters the resistance to maintain a pace that will meet that objective within that duration. Once the objective is met, the workout automatically goes into a Cooldown Phase. To use the Time In Zone Goal feature:
1.Select either FAT BURN, CARDIO, or any of the Zone Training workouts including HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE.
2.In the Goal Time setup screen, choose TIME IN ZONE, enter the desired amount of time, and select
ENTER.
3.Finish the setup steps for the selected workout.
4.Begin the workout.
NOTE: Time in Zone is directly correlated to fitness level. Since the program will continue to increase resistance until the goal is met, it may be wise to start low and work towards a higher goal. Choose Cooldown at any time, to exit the workout and immediately enter a Cooldown Phase.
For help setting Time in Zone goals, consult a personal trainer. For more information on Heart Rate Zone Training, see Section 3.1 Why Heart Rate Zone Training?
