Programs

Preset workouts are a great way to tailor your workouts to your fitness goals, stay challenged, and add variety to your sessions. In the following figures, the elevated areas show the work expenditure for each preset program.

Manual

During this workout, resistance and speed changes are completely under your control. The profile is initially a flat line. Any increase or decrease made in one workout segment will increase or decrease all remaining portions by the same amount.

Heart Rate

This workout computes your target heart rate based on the calculation, 60% of 220 minus your age; however, you can override this value. The equipment adjusts resistance and/or incline to maintain your target heart rate while you work out.

When a heart rate signal is not received, a heart shape with a question mark appears in the upper text display. On the newer model AMT, the heart shape remains lit, but the metric display appears blank. Recheck your hand grip on the handheld sensors or the placement of your chest strap.

For the unit to detect your heart rate, you must grip the handheld heart rate sensors or wear a chest strap while exercising. In the presence of both handheld and wireless data, the handheld data takes precedence and displays.

Interval

The Interval workout is primarily for conditioning your cardiovascular system. This workout is designed to raise and lower your heart rate in a repeating fashion for a user-defined period of time by alternating rest and work intervals. Workout intensity is adjustable.

Weight Loss

The workout time is fixed at 28 minutes. The workout consists of seven four-minute intervals. You can change the resistance at any time during the work interval.

Note: This program is called Fat Burner on older AMT models.
