Quick Start Program

After entering your weight and selecting the Quick Start program, simply use the

speed s key to increase your speed.

(CAUTION: the belt will begin moving while you are selecting your speed.)

(ATTENTION : La courroie commence à tourner dès que vous actionnez une des

touches de vitesse.)

Check your heart rate after the first 5 minutes of exercise and every 5 to 10 min-

utes thereafter to ensure that you are exercising within your target heart rate zone.

The Quick Start program provides steady-pace exercise. You can design your own

interval training program using the Quick Start program by varying the level of speed and

incline during the course of your workout. To do so, select a high effort level until you

reach the upper end of your target heart rate zone, then stride at a lower level of effort

until your heart rate drops to the bottom of your target heart rate zone. Then increase the

level of effort until you reach the upper portion of your heart rate zone again. By repeat-

ing this process, you will be simulating your own hills and valleys. The Quick Start

program does not require a goal of time, calories or distance; it begins counting down

from 60 minutes.
