PROGRAMMING CUSTOM WORKOUTS

After entering “My Configuration”, use the TIME ARROW keys to scroll through the list of config- uration 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 work- out are the same as those for creating a new workout:

Using the TIME ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad, select a workout duration time in min- utes, and press ENTER.

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.
