HOW TO USE A HEART RATE WORKOUT CAUTION: If you have heart prob-
lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the heart rate workouts. If you are taking medication regu- larly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.
1.Put on the chest pulse sensor.
Note: For best results, wear the chest pulse sensor to use a heart rate workout. See page 13 for infor- mation about the chest pulse sensor.
2.Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 16.
3.Select one of the four heart rate workouts. To select a pulse workout, press the Heart Rate Control button repeatedly. When a heart rate work- out is selected, the workout number will appear in the display.
If heart rate workout 1 is selected, a line repre- senting your heart rate will appear in the display. If heart rate workout 2, 3, or 4 is selected, a pro- file of the heart rate settings of the workout and the workout duration will appear in the display.
4.Enter a target heart rate setting.
If heart rate workout 1 is selected, the target heart rate setting for the entire workout will appear in the display after a moment. If desired, press the Rate/Wt. increase and decrease buttons to change the target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE IN-
TENSITY on page 35).
If heart rate workout 2, 3, or 4 is selected, the maximum target heart rate setting of the workout will appear in the display after a moment. If de- sired, press the Rate/Wt. increase and decrease
buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 35). Note: If you change the maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity level of the entire workout will change.
5.Start the walking belt.
Press the Start button to start the workout. A mo- ment after you press the button, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings of the workout. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
Heart rate workout 1 is divided into several one- minute segments. The same target heart rate set- ting is programmed for all segments (except for the first two segments). Heart rate workouts 2, 3, and 4 are divided into 30
During each segment of the workout, the console will compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for that segment. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the tar- get heart rate setting. Each time the speed and/or incline of the treadmill is about to change, the speed and/or incline setting will appear in the dis- play and a tone will sound to alert you.
If heart rate workout 2, 3, or 4 is selected, at the end of each segment, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash. The workout will continue in this way until the last segment of the workout ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.
If the speed and/or incline settings are too high or too low, you can change the intensity level of the workout at any time by pressing the speed and in- cline buttons; however, when the console com- pares your heart rate to the target heart rate for the current segment, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
