actual exercising pace. The target pace will change periodically during the program; as the target pace changes, simply adjust your exercising pace to keep both columns at the same height. Important: The tar- get pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The three graphs

on the console show how the target pace will change during the programs. For

example, during

program 2 (the aerobic program), the target pace will gradually increase during the first half of the program, and then gradually decrease during the last half of the program. Each program will last for twenty minutes.

To turn on the power, press the on/reset

button or sim- ply begin exer-

cising. The entire display
