4.3WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS
QUICK START
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it 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 and stay in the Workout Progress screen, press the UP or DOWN ARROW KEYS on the Control Panel, corresponding to the LEVEL button. Level can also be changed by touching the LEVEL button on the Touchscreen Display, and then changing the level using the arrow buttons or the numeric keypad and press- ing ENTER.
For METs, Watts, Calories Burned, and Calories per Hour to be computed and displayed during a workout, select the ENTER WEIGHT button which is required to calculate these values. Using the ARROW KEYS, increase or decrease the displayed weight to the correct value, or enter weight using the NUMERIC keypad, and press ENTER to register.
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. Because workout levels are greater in this work- out than in the HILL workout, it is recommended that the RANDOM workout be set one or two levels lower than the workout level which would normally be selected in the HILL workout.
FAT BURN
The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65 percent of the theoreti- cal maximum† for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a Polar heart rate chest strap or grips the Lifepulse system sensors. If the user is not wearing a chest strap or grasping the sensors, the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a heart shape, and the display prompts the user to grip the sensors. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the Total Body Trainer to reach and maintain the target*. This system eliminates over- and
CARDIO
The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate** is cal- culated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum. The user wears a chest strap or grips the Lifepulse system sensors.The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.
