Training Zone Monitor

The training zone monitor measures the approximate intensity of your exercise.

The monitor’s five indicators are described below:

• WARM UP & COOL DOWN—Each workout

should begin with a warm- up period and end with a

cool-down period. (See WORKOUT GUIDE- LINES on pages 22 and 23.) The WARM-UP & COOL-DOWN indicator will light when your workout intensity is ideal for warming up or cool- ing down.

FAT BURN and MAXIMUM FAT BURN—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a rela- tively low intensity level for a sustained period of time. (See BURNING FAT on page 22.) If you are exercising at the proper intensity level for burning fat, the FAT BURN or MAXIMUM FAT BURN indicator will light.

AEROBIC—If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” (See AEROBIC EXERCISE on page 22.) If you are exercising at the proper intensity level for aerobic exercise, the AEROBIC indica- tor will light.

PERFORMANCE—If your goal is high perfor- mance athletic conditioning, you will need to ex- ercise at a high intensity level. If you are exercis- ing at the proper intensity level, the PERFOR- MANCE indicator will light.

When you are finished exercising, stop the walk-

ing belt and remove the key.

Step onto the foot rails and stop the walking belt. Lower the treadmill to the lowest incline level. Remove the key from the console and store the key in a secure place. In addition, move the on/off switch to the “off” position. (See the drawing near the bot- tom of page 10.)

HOW TO USE THE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMS AND THE INTERVAL PROGRAMS

The WEIGHT LOSS programs and the INTERVAL programs automatically control the speed of the walking belt as they guide you through effective workouts. The WEIGHT LOSS programs focus on helping you to lose unwanted pounds; the INTERVAL programs are designed to build stamina. The WEIGHT LOSS programs and the INTERVAL 1 program are 20-minute programs; the INTERVAL 2 program is a 30-minute program. The graphs on the left side of the console show how the speed will change during each program. During the WEIGHT LOSS 1 program, for example, the speed will gradually increase during the first 10 minutes, and then gradually decrease during the last 10 minutes. Each program begins with a 2-minute warm-up period, and ends with a 2-minute cool-down period.

Follow the steps below to use one of these programs.

Make sure that the key is fully inserted into the

1 console.

Stand on the foot rails and insert the key. Various displays and indicators will light. Find the clip attached to the key, and slide it onto your waistband.

INTERVAL 1, or INTERVAL 2 program.

 

 

When the key is inserted,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the MANUAL CONTROL

 

 

 

 

indicator will light. To select

 

 

 

 

the WEIGHT LOSS 1 pro-

programs, press the MODE

 

 

button repeatedly until the WEIGHT LOSS 2, IN-

When a WEIGHT LOSS or INTERVAL program is

 

 

selected, the letters “LbS” will flash in the CALO-

 

 

RIES display for seven seconds; the current weight

 

 

setting will then be shown. Although it is not neces-

 

 

sary to enter your weight and age to use one of

 

 

these programs, the CALORIES display will be more

 

 

accurate if your weight and age are entered. If you

 

 

want to enter your weight, see step 3 on page 11.
