4.3WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS
QUICK START
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising and bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. The intensity level for the workout is set automatically and remains the same unless manually changed. To change the level, use the LEVEL arrow keys or use the NUMERIC KEYPAD to enter a higher or lower level number.
MANUAL
The MANUAL program sets an intensity level that does not change automatically. While the workout is in progress, increase or lower the intensity level as desired using the ARROW keys.
RANDOM
The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million different patterns are possible.
FAT BURN
The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65% of the theoretical maximum (HRmax) for opti- mal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the LifepulseTM sensors. If the user is not wearing a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW displays a heart shape, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to grasp the sensors. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the
CARDIO
The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN, however the target heart rate is calculated at 80% of the theoret- ical maximum (HRmax). The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.
