GO SYSTEM-QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps involved in selecting a specific workout program. Press the WALK, JOG, or RUN key to begin a MANUAL workout at a preset speed.

HILL is an interval training workout. Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise.

RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

MANUAL is a workout in which the intensity level does not change automatically.

EZ INCLINE is an incline-based workout. The gradual changes in elevation are extremely subtle, lowering perceived exertion.

SPORT TRAINING simulates outdoor conditions that a runner would experience.

5K SPORT TRAINING simulates an actual terrain with varying incline levels. It is designed to assist runners in training for a 5-kilometer (3.1-mile), race.

10K SPORT TRAINING simulates an actual terrain with varying incline levels. It is designed to assist runners in training for a 10-kilometer, (6.2-mile), race.

FAT BURN is a low-intensity workout for burning the body’s fat reserves. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap. The workout program automaticaly adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the recommended rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum.

CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat burning. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap. The workout program automaticaly adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the recommended rate at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum.

HEART RATE HILL takes the user through three different intensity levels based on the target heart rate*. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap.

HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between two intensity levels based on the target heart rate. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap.

EXTREME HEART RATE is an intense workout for more experienced users. It is designed to bring the heart rate up and down as quickly as possible. The user must wear a heart rate chest strap.

Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine’s "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as being equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.

*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the CARDIO workout is 144. The CARDIO workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
