WEIGHT LOSS

The Weight Loss Programs, available by pressing the WEIGHT LOSS key, begin with a warm-up period similar to the Heart Rate Programs.

The target heart rate for the rest intervals is set in the lower fat-burn range. During the work intervals, the target heart rate is initially set to 220 minus your age multiplied by 70%. For ideal weight loss, your heart rate should remain between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. Refer to Heart Rate Features.

During your workout, set a comfortable pace. The display lets you know when the incline levels are about to change. You have the option to leave the setting alone or override it by pressing the arrow keys. When you make changes, the software repeats the changes in the remaining intervals.

The chart below briefly explains the purpose of each program.
