Walk (WALK) Program

The Walk Program is a great cardio-conditioning program for

both beginners and serious

walkers. The incline is preprogrammed. The percentage of incline and the frequency with which the columns change determine the

level of difficulty. You can change the speed and override the preprogrammed incline using the arrow keys. As you move through the program, the columns are repeated until the time limit is reached.

Heart Rate Control (HRC) Program

The Heart Rate Control (HRC)

HRC Program lets you set a target for your heart rate. The program adjusts the incline to maintain your heart rate within two beats per minute of the target heart rate (THR) while you exercise. The initial THR is determined

using a simple calculation:

(220 minus your age) multiplied by 70%

During your workout, the number that represents your heart rate appears in the HEART RATE display.

For information about understanding your target heart rate, refer to Heart Rate Features.

Important: Consult your physician to determine the appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness level. If your physician recommends a different target heart rate than the one that appears on the display, use the INCLINE arrow keys to change the target heart rate once you finish the warm-up period. Do not work out over the recommended range.
