GO SYSTEM QUICK START

GO SYSTEM QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. After the WALK, JOG, or RUN button is pressed, a MANUAL workout begins immediately at the pre-programmed speed for the respective button pressed. For accurate caloric expenditure, enter weight using the ENTER WEIGHT button. The incline level is set to zero by default. Change the level using the INCLINE ARROW key. Change the speed using the SPEED key, up or down as desired. For METs, Watts, Calories Burned/Calories per Hour to be computed and displayed during a workout, select the ENTER WEIGHT button which is required to calculate these val- ues.

	English Default Units	Metric Default Units
WALK	3.0 mph	5,0 kph
JOG	5.0 mph	8,0 kph
RUN	7.0 mph	11,0 kph

To change a preset speed, enter any non-FIT TEST workout. Press the SET button to modify the default val- ues of the Go System WALK, JOG, and RUN speeds. Once selected, choose any of the WALK, JOG, and RUN BUTTONS to activate the value. Change the value using the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad. The speed values can be changed in .1 Mph/Kph increments. Press ENTER to accept the changed value. Select the BACK ARROW key to return to the previous screen or workout.

NOTE: All changed preset values are preserved when the treadmill is turned off.

MANUAL

The MANUAL program is a constant effort workout in which the user can change resistance level or speed at any time.

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 percent of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax) for optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a chest strap or grasps the Lifepulse sen- sors. If the user is not wearing a chest strap, the WORKOUT PROGRESS SCREEN displays a heart shape, and the Message Area prompts the user to grasp the sensors. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the treadmill to reach and maintain the target* (See note below). This system eliminates over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat stores for fuel.

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

*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117, or 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65 = 117.
