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 dif-
ferent 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

All in all, there are 17 pre-defined profile programmes, which differ in duration, intensities, and the chan-
ges of intensity. When you choose a programme, you can decide whether the changes of intensity should
be done by changing the incline or by changing the speed.
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.
P-03: Moderate interval
(default 30 min.)
Once you start a regular training and have an improved fitness, you are ready to train at a moderate inten-
sity in the interval. Please pay attention that this training includes a change between an easy recovery and
a high intensity interval. Feel good while doing your training, because the next recovery interval is always
coming next. This training improves your general aerobic endurance and maximises the development of
your anaerobic fitness at the same time.
