HOW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM

CAUTION: If you have heart prob- lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the Pulse pro- grams. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use a Pulse program.

1 Put on the optional chest pulse sensor.

Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sen- sor to use a Pulse program.

2 Insert the key into the console.

See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 13.

3 Personalize console settings if desired.

See HOW TO PERSONALIZE CONSOLE SET- TINGS on page 13.

4 Select a Pulse program.

To select a Pulse program, press the Programs button repeatedly until the words PULSE PRO- GRAM 1 or PULSE PROGRAM 2 appear in the display.

When a Pulse program is selected, the display will show the name of the program and the maximum target heart rate setting of the program. In addi- tion, a profile of the target heart rate settings of the program will appear in the display.

Pulse program 1 is divided into one-minute seg- ments. The same target heart rate setting is pro- grammed for all segments (except for the first two segments). Pulse program 2 is divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate set- ting is programmed for each segment. Note: The

same target heart rate setting may be pro- grammed for two or more consecutive segments.

Adjust the maximum target heart rate setting if

5 desired.

To adjust the maximum target heart rate setting, press the increase and decrease buttons beside the User/Enter button (see EXERCISE INTEN- SITY on page 29). To adjust the target heart rate setting quickly, hold down one of the buttons.

6 Press the Start button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the walking belt will begin to move. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

Select a display mode and monitor your

7 progress with the display and the training zone bar.

When a Pulse program is selected, the console of- fers two display modes. Press the Display button to select the desired display mode.

Regardless of which display mode you select, a profile of the target heart rate settings of the pro- gram will appear in the display. A white line repre- senting your heartbeat will also appear; each time a heartbeat is detected, an additional peak will ap- pear in the line. A small arrow below the profile will indicate your progress.

During each one-minute segment of the program, the console will compare your heart rate to the current target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate set- ting, the speed of the walking belt or the incline of the treadmill will automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate set- ting. Each time the speed or incline changes, the speed setting and the incline setting will appear at the top of the display for a moment to alert you.

When each segment ends, a series of tones will sound.
