Programs Choosing a Program Custom 1 Custom 2 Diagram 8: M9.33 program label This section describes the programs printed on the display label. Refer to Diagram 8. Owner’s Manual: Programs Choosing a program depends on your goals. If you are a beginner or returning to regular exercise, you can start a cardio-conditioning program to slowly return your body to a comfortable level of exercise.
The table below shows a variety of program options. Table 3. Program options Preferences MANL Preset incline WLK_ RUN_ X X INTV RAND X, ✝ X X, ✝ Preset speed WTLS X, ✝ X X, ✝ Warm-up period CST_ X, ✝ X, ✝ X Rest/Work intervals X X Fixed time limit X Heart rate controlled* Arrow keys can change speed or incline HRC X X X X X X X X * Requires the chest strap. ✝ Indicates programs that store incline and speed preferences.
Manual (MANL) Program MANL You control speed and incline settings when you use the Manual program. The profile begins as a flat line. Use the arrow keys to change the speed or to adjust the incline. The program profile reflects changes in all subsequent columns. The blinking column indicates your position in the program. If you press QUICKSTART at the banner and access the Manual program, the workout time is infinite. A cool-down period does not automatically occur when you end your workout.
Run (RUN_) Programs Interval (INTV) Program Rest interval RUN1 The Run programs provide varying levels of exertion from an easy run (RUN1) to a more advanced level (RUN3) and have preprogrammed inclines similar to the walk programs. The percentage of incline and the frequency with which the profile changes determine the level of difficulty. You can override the incline level by pressing the INCLINE ▼▲ keys. The change is stored in memory. The running belt’s speed is completely under your control.
When you begin the program, set the speed and incline for the first rest and work intervals. The settings are repeated throughout the program. To change a setting, press the appropriate arrow key and continue. The changes are applied to the remaining intervals. The display lets you know when the speed or incline levels are about to change, and indicates the levels of the next interval.
Weight Loss (WTLS) Program Rest interval WTLS Work interval For the ideal weight loss range, your heart rate should be between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. If you wear the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips, you can use SmartRate as a visual cue. • Set a comfortable pace and then adjust the incline. • Maintain a level of exertion so that the yellow LED blinks in the SmartRate display during rest intervals.
Heart Rate Control (HRC) Program HRC Important: Consult your physician to determine the appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness level. If your physician recommends a different target heart rate than the one that appears on the display, use the INCLINE arrow keys to change the target heart rate once you finish the warm-up period. Do not work out over the recommended range. Warm-up Period The treadmill provides a 3-minute warm-up period.
Using the HRC Program Custom (CST1 or CST2) Programs When the warm-up period concludes: • The treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to keep your heart rate at the selected target. Pressing the INCLINE arrow keys no longer affects the lift motor and incline, but does change the target heart rate. Check the SmartRate display to see if you are maintaining your preferred zone (weight loss or cardiovascular). Check the Heart Rate display to determine your actual heart rate.
During the program, the TIME display relates to the amount of time remaining in the recorded columns. Total elapsed time appears when you record new columns. Clearing the Settings on a Custom Program Note: The length of the custom program and number of speed and incline settings are limited to the available memory in the treadmill. The program will not end if the available memory is exhausted, but the display notifies you, and further changes to speed or incline are not saved.
