WEIGHT LOSS

Description

 

 

Weight Loss

Use this program if you are beginning or

(9.31 only)

returning to a regular fitness routine. The

 

workout time is fixed at 28 minutes and

 

consists of seven 4-minute intervals. You are

 

not prompted for a workout time. To monitor

 

your heart rate, wear a chest strap. Use the

 

SmartRate display and maintain your heart rate

 

within the FAT BURN zone.

 

 

Weight Loss HR

Improve fat-burning results and increase

(9.33 only)

endurance every time you exercise. This

 

program helps you achieve weight loss and

 

increase your aerobic capacity. The program

 

maintains your heart rate between the weight

 

loss and cardiovascular zones: 55% - 75% of

 

your maximum aerobic heart rate. Refer to

 

Heart Rate Features.

 

During the program, you cannot adjust your

 

target heart rate. The program monitors your

 

heart rate and automatically adjusts the incline

 

or speed throughout five stages: warm-up,

 

weight loss, cardiovascular, weight loss, and

 

cool down. Forty percent of the workout time is

 

spent in each weight loss zone while the other

 

20 percent is maintained in the cardiovascular

 

zone.
