HOW TO USE THE FAT BURN AND AEROBIC PROGRAMS

The FAT BURN and AEROBIC programs automatically control the speed and incline of the treadmill to keep your pulse within a predetermined range during your workouts. Both programs are 30-minute programs. The speed profiles on the left side of the console show how your pulse will change during each program. Each pro- gram begins with a warm-up period, and ends with a cool-down period.

To use one of these programs, follow the steps below.

Make sure that the key is fully inserted into the
