PROGRAMMING CUSTOM WORKOUTS

After entering the Manager’s Configuration, use the TIME ARROW keys to scroll through the list of configuration options, or allow the MESSAGE CENTER to scroll automatically through the options. When “CUSTOM WORKOUT ENTRY” appears, press ENTER to select this option.

The custom workouts are identified as numbers, from 1 to 6. Enter the desired number on the NUMERIC keypad, or use the ARROW keys to scroll through the displayed numbers. Press ENTER to confirm the number selection. If a workout does not already exist for that number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a request to begin creating the workout.

If a workout does exist for the number in question, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a statement to that effect, followed by the option to modify the existing workout. The steps for modifying a workout are the same as those for creating a new work- out:

Using the TIME ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad, select a workout duration time in minutes, and press ENTER. The duration cannot exceed the MAX DURATION set in the Manager's Configuration.

Next, select the interval type. Use the arrow keys to toggle between the displayed options, and press the ENTER key to select the desired interval type. Options are:

Speed/Incline, in which a treadmill speed and/or incline grade is selected for each interval.

Target Heart Rate, in which a maximum target heart rate is selected for each interval.

The number of intervals is always 30, so the length of each interval equals the selected duration divided by 30. Each interval is identified by the time at which it occurs during the workout.

If Speed/Incline is selected, the MESSAGE CENTER displays each interval, identified as the time at which the interval occurs. For each displayed interval, enter a speed using the SPEED ARROW keys, and/or enter an incline grade using the INCLINE ARROW keys. Press Enter to confirm each selection. After values are selected for all 30 intervals, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the statement, “CUSTOM WORKOUT COMPLETED”, followed by a prompt to create a workout for the next number.

If Target Heart Rate is selected, the MESSAGE CENTER displays each interval, identified as a numeral from 1 to 30. For each displayed interval, enter a target heart rate using the ARROW keys. Press Enter to confirm each selection. After values are selected for all 30 intervals, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the statement, “CUSTOM WORKOUT COMPLETED”, followed by a prompt to create a workout for the next number.

USING QUICK START DISABLE

This configuration has two possible values which are selected using the incline arrow keys. The values are as follows:

Quick Start with numeric keys “allowed”

Quick Start with numeric keys “not allowed”

The default value is “allowed”. This means that a user can start a QUICK START workout by simply entering a desired workout speed using the numeric keys only. If the configuration is set to “not allowed”, a user cannot use the numeric keys to start a QUICK START workout. This configuration is designed to prevent users from inadvertently starting a QUICK START workout on treadmills that are integrated into a fitness networking system that requires the user to enter a USER ID and press ENTER before beginning a workout. A QUICK START workout can always be started by pressing the QUICK START key.

USING THE START MESSAGE SETUP

This configuration allows for a custom start-up message to be displayed before the default “Select Workout or Press Quick Start” message. The custom message can contain up to 52 characters.

CREATING/CHANGING A START MESSAGE

After entering the Manager’s Configuration, scroll to the START MESSAGE SETUP option and press ENTER. Use the SPEED ARROW keys to select an available letter, number or special character. Use the INCLINE ARROW keys to move forward or backward throughout the message, or insert spaces, one character at a time. The current character will blink until the position is moved with the INCLINE ARROW keys.
