HINTS AND TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED The following hints and tips will assist in training your users to maximize the fitness benefits of yourTreadClimber. Walk at a rate that feels comfortable and most natural, yet is sufficiently vigorous to get a good cardio workout. When using the TreadClimber for the first time or after an extended absence, keep the level set to level 1 and build up the walking speed prior to adjusting to more challenging levels. Try different walking rhythms.
Quick Start Quick Start lets you begin your workout by simply pressing one key. Quick Start uses a default weight of 155 pounds and a time limit of 99 minutes. YOU control the speed, incline level and distance for up to the maximum allowed program time. To operate the Quick Start program: 1 Stand on the machine and press the QUICK START key. The walk belt slowly accelerates to minimum speed of 0.5 mph (0.8 km/h).
Preset Programs The TreadClimber® offers several preset programs to add variety and challenge to your workout. Goal-Based Programs (Time, Calories, Distance) When you begin a workout, often you have a goal in mind. With the TreadClimber, you can set your program to your personal goal, and it will track your progress to help you reach it. You can set a goal for TIME, CALORIES or DISTANCE. For all three goal types, after you select the program, the console will prompt you to enter the goal.
Heart Rate Training Programs The TreadClimber® offers two HR training programs. NOTE: For best results, use a HR strap. Contact HR grips may provide a less accurate reading and can lead to a less effective workout, due to holding onto the TreadClimber. Constant Heart Rate Control This program is designed to maintain your HR at a constant level by varying your walking speed over the course of the workout. Note that your HR will vary above and below the target rate during the program.
Cooldown Cycle Once you have completed your workout program, the TreadClimber® enters a 2-minute cooldown cycle. You can adjust speed and incline level during this cycle to desired levels. When the cooldown cycle ends, the unit will slow to a stop. If you wish to exit the cooldown cycle before it ends automatically, press the STOP key. Using the Cooling Fan Star Trac is the originator of integrating a fan into a piece of cardio equipment.
Contact Heart Rate Monitoring You may use the heart rate contact grips to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps: 1 Grasp the stainless steel heart rate contact grips; you do not have to squeeze tightly. 2 When a heart rate has been detected, the icon displays in the Information Window, indicating a calculation is taking place.
