Interval
The Interval program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity. This
program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of recovery to replenish
oxygen. Your cardio vascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently this way. To start the
Interval program follow the instructions below or just press the Interval button then the Enter button and
follow the directions in the message window.
1. Press the Interval key then press the Enter key.
2. The message window will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your Age, using the Up and Down
keys or the numeric key pad, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the
next screen.

keys or the numeric key pad, then press enter to continue.

also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key. NOTE: At any time during the editing of

Custom User Defined Programs
There are two customizable User programs that allow you to build and save your own workout. The two
programs, User 1 and User 2, operate exactly the same way so there is no reason to describe them separately.
You can build your own custom program by following the instructions below or you can save any other preset
program you complete as a custom program. Both programs allow you to further personalize it by adding your
name.
1. Press the User 1 or User 2 key. The message window will show a welcome message. If you had
previously saved a program the message will contain your name. Then press the Enter key to begin
programming.
2. When you press enter, the message window will show "Name – A", if there is no name saved. If the
name "David" had been previously saved the message window will show "Name – David" and the D will
be blinking. If there is a name saved you can change it or you may press the Stop key to keep the name
and continue to the next step. If you want to enter a name use the Up and/or the Down key to change
the first letter then press Enter to save the first letter and continue to the next letter. When you have
finished entering the name press the Stop key to save the name and continue to the next step.
3. The message window will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your Age, using the Up and Down
keys or the numeric key pad, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the

to continue to the next segment.

process as the last segment then press enter. Continue this process until all twenty segments have been
