Weight Loss Key
Pressing the Weight Loss key scrolls through the workouts
that are designed to encourage weight loss and aerobic
conditioning.
The American College of Sports Medicine
adults get at least 30–60 minutes of moderately intense
exercise five days a week. The Weight Loss workout provides
a structured and time-based aerobic challenge designed to
help you reverse or prevent weight gain.
The total time for this workout is fixed at 28 minutes. It
consists of alternating four-minute work and rest intervals.
During the work intervals, you can change the resistance at
any time.
Training tip: For best results, wear a heart rate monitor and
maintain a target heart rate that is between 50% and 70% of
your maximum heart rate.
Heart Rate Key
Pressing the Heart Rate key selects the Basic Heart Rate
Controlled (HRC) workout, which monitors your heart rate to
guide you through a moderate intensity program that is
optimal for aerobic conditioning. To use this workout, you
must either wear a chest strap sensor (recommended) or
maintain continuous contact with the handheld sensor grips.
Note: You cannot switch to this workout during an exercise
session.
During the workout, your target heart rate is based on the
following calculation:
Target heart rate = 70% × (207 – (0.67 × your age))
The equipment adjusts intensity settings to maintain your
target heart rate while you work out.
When a heart rate signal is not received, the metrics displays
remain blank. If this happens, recheck your hand grip on the
handheld sensors or the placement of your chest strap.
Training tip: This program offers a coaching benefit for new
and returning users who are learning how to maintain a
moderate, steady exertion level throughout their workouts.
