Programs - LifeSpan TR5000i Owner's Manual

Custom User Programs
There are two user programs that provide you with the ability to build
custom program profiles for your specific workout requirements. In Custom
User Programs you set the workout time and then for each of the 20
program segments you set the speed and incline. This program is different
than our preset programs in that both speed and incline can be controlled
simultaneously. As such, the program matrix display readout will show both
incline and speed at the same time with the incline on the left portion of the
matrix and the speed on the right portion of the matrix.
Heart Rate Control Programs
Constant Heart Rate
The Constant Heart Rate is a steady state program that lets you select a
single heart rate to maintain throughout your workout. The treadmill will
adjust the belt speed or incline every 10 seconds during the workout to
maintain your heart rate close to the target you've selected.
Interval Heart Rate
The Interval Heart Rate is designed to help you increase aerobic endurance
and improve heart rate recovery. This program lets you select a LOW or
recovery target heart rate and a High target. After the 3 minute warm-up the
console will adjust the speed or incline every 10 seconds to maintain your
LOW target for 2 minutes. Then the console will adjust the speed or incline to
raise your heart rate to the high target selected and once again keep it at this
level for 2 minutes. The process will repeat until the end of the workout. It is
recommended that you set the workout time to 30 minutes or higher to use
this program effectively.
Note: Remember that the console needs to receive your heart
rate through the grip pulse or a heart rate chest strap during the
course of the workout.
