Chapter 4 - Advanced Features
In addition to manual and program modes, the 800S Stepper includes
features to make workouts more enjoyable and useful: calorie goal setting, group races to let
users compete against each other, solo races against a computerized pacer, and a fitness
test. You use all of these options by pressing the Advanced Options button.
Setting a Calorie Goal
If it's important to you to burn a certain number of calories during your workout, the calorie
goal option is for you. With this feature, the 800S Stepper sets the
stepping speed so you burn the number of calories you want in the time you have allotted.
To set a calorie goal:
1. Get on the 800S Stepper.
2. Press the Advanced Options
key. If you press a key
somewhere else on the
console, an arrow will point
toward the program keys,
instructing you to select one.
The top display should read "Calorie Goal." If it doesn't, press Advanced Options until it
does, then press Enter.
3. The display will show the default workout length. You can change this using the up and
down arrow keys, or use the keypad to type the number of minutes you want to work out.
If you try to enter a time longer than the maximum for this, the 800S Stepper, it won't
accept your entry. Press Enter.
4. Enter your weight. The 800S Stepper uses this to calculate how many calories you burn
during your workout, so be sure to allow for your clothing and shoes. In general, add
about five pounds to your base weight to get an accurate reading. Again, either type the
weight or use the arrow keys to raise or lower the value shown. Press Enter.
5. Set the number of calories you want to burn during the workout. Either type the number or
use the arrow keys to raise or lower the value shown.
6. Press Start.
The 800S Stepper calculates the speed you'll need to reach your calorie goal in the time
you've entered. It ramps up to this speed, then keeps you there for the
duration of the workout. You can change your calorie goal during the workout; the 800S
Stepper will adjust the speed setting to match.
The level display shows your calorie goal. During the workout, you can adjust this by pressing
the arrow keys and entering a new goal. The rest of the display is as described in "The
Workout Display" in Chapter 3.
