Programmes

Training progress only results from diversion. When you work out at the same speed, incline, and
duration every day, you will be better in the beginning – however, at some point, you will come to a
standstill. You won't become any better. It's sufficient to lose weight, but when you want to get more
out of yourself, you have to vary your training and to challenge continuously. Here, this treadmill
supports you with a lot of different and very diversified programmes. All programmes can be started
either in the incline mode or in the speed mode. There are three intensity levels each. When you
choose the speed mode, the treadmill varies the speed, while the incline remains constant. The
values, which are not controlled by the programme, can be adjusted by means of the arrow buttons
at any time.
However, when you wish to start running immediately, just press START. The treadmill slowly starts
to move and all values are counted up from zero. Using the arrow buttons or hot keys, you can
individually choose the exercise parameters and change these at any time.

Pre-Set Programmes

There are 17 pre-defined programmes, that differ in time, intensity and the changes of intensity. You
can choose if you want to change the intensity by changing speed or by changing the incline.
P-01: Long, slow distance
(default 40 min.)
That's a great training for everybody. Beginners start with a light training and do this training on
a weekly basis in order to maximise their cardiovascular fitness. On days, which follow a hard and
intensive training, this programme is also ideal for experienced users. Once the programme is set,
you go to U-1 or U-2 and press START.
P-02: Short interval
(default 20 min.)
Short intervals are ideal for beginners, who want to benefit from the use of an interval training, but
are still not ready for the interval training with longer intensities. They are also ideal for experienced
users to increase speed and anaerobic fitness. Please make sure that you vary the exercise intensity
and duration to maximise the whole fitness. So just integrate some interval workouts in your weekly
training.
