Custom User Set-up Programs

There are two user programs that provide you with the ability to establish customized program pro￿les speci￿c to your workout requirements.

After obtaining your desired selec- tion press enter to move to the next column in the program pro￿le. This program will now be saved for you each time you select it and press the “start” button.

The TR3000i and TR4000i comes with two types of heart rate control programs- Constant and Interval and within each of these you can select either a “Speed” control option or an “Incline” control option.

There is a 3 minute warm up for this program prior to the treadmill taking control of the speed or incline.

Note: To use the Heart Rate Control programs the treadmill needs to receive your heart rate throughout the entire workout either through using the grip pulse pads or a chest strap heart rate transmitter.

Constant Heart Rate Control: The “Constant” program lets you select a single heart rate that you want to maintain throughout your workout and the treadmill will maintain this heart rate for you by either adjusting the speed or the incline. After selecting the Constant Heart Rate program the next selection option will be Incline Mode or Speed Mode. Select which mode you prefer and the treadmill will adjust the speed or incline every 10 seconds to keep you at your selected heart rate level. For instance, if you select the incline mode there will be a 3 minute warm up and then the incline will start to adjust each 10 seconds obtain and maintain your target heart rate. You choose the speed that you want the belt to run and the treadmill will control the incline.

Typically for Weight Loss set the target heart rate at 65% of your predicted maximum heart rate and for Cardio Training set the target at 80% of your predicted maximum. Refer to the Heart Rate Training section of this manual to determine your optimal training zones based on your age and exercise objectives or visit:

Interval Heart Rate Control: The “Interval” program is designed to help you increase your aerobic endurance and improve heart rate recovery. This program lets you select a LOW or recovery target heart rate and a HIGH target. After a 3 minute warm-up the console will adjust the speed or incline, which ever you select, every 10 seconds to maintain your LOW target to 2 minutes. Then the console will adjust the speed or incline to raise your heart rate to the HIGH target that you selected and once again keep it at this level for 2 minutes and then repeat the process until the end of the workout. It is recommended that you set the workout time to 20 minutes or higher to use this program e￿ectively.
