4.2USING THE WORKOUTS

Select a workout or log on to a fitness network exercise database. See the chart at the beginning of Section 4.3 for an overview of the steps required to set up each workout.

1)BEGINNING A WORKOUT

Without networking, touch the screen to START. The Message Area displays the prompt: “SELECT YOUR WORKOUT OR PRESS ? FOR MORE INFORMATION.” Choose a workout program to begin.

If equipped with optional networking, touch the screen to START. The Message area displays the prompt: “SELECT YOUR WORKOUT, ENTER YOUR NETWORK ID, OR PRESS ? FOR MORE INFOR- MATION” and an “NETWORK ID” button will appear on the Workout Selection Screen. Select a workout, or log on to the networked exercise database and download the preset workout.

To log onto the network, press NETWORK ID, and key in the user ID number with the NUMERIC KEYPAD. Press Enter.

SELECTING AND USING QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising. It bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. On the welcome or start screen, press the QUICK START button. The workout begins at an intensity level that remains the same unless manually changed. Choose ENTER WEIGHT so that METs, Watts and Calories Burned/Calorie per Hour can be computed and displayed as workout statistics.

GO SYSTEM QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising using preset values defining WALK, JOG and RUN speeds. It bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. On the start screen press the WALK, JOG and RUN button. Choose ENTER WEIGHT so that METs, Watts and Calories Burned/Calorie per Hour can be computed and displayed as workout statistics.

2)SELECTING A WORKOUT

When prompted to select a workout, select the desired workout button. The touchscreen will then bring up the corresponding Workout Setup Screens which include goal type (time, distance and calo- ries), level, age, weight, distance, speed, incline, and target heart rate*. Press ENTER after each selection to record it. After values are set, the workout progress screen appears and the workout begins.

For MANUAL, FAT BURN, HILL, RANDOM, and CARDIO choose the corresponding button to enter directly into the workout setup screens.

For HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE choose ZONE TRAINING and then make a selection.

For SPORT TRAINING (5K), SPORT TRAINING (10K), SPORT TRAINING (GOAL) SPEED INTERVAL or CUSTOM WORKOUTS choose PERSONAL TRAINER and then make a selection.

For LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST choose FITNESS TESTING, and then make a selection. Additional fitness tests are available when enabled in the Manager’s Configurations. (See Section 5.1 Manager’s Configurations, Fit Test Plus for more information.) These tests include: PHYSICAL EFFICIENCY BAT- TERY, GERKIN, NAVY PRT, AIR FORCE PRT, ARMY PFT and MARINES PFT

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