When using the treadmill, follow these general guidelines:
•
At the beginning of a workout, take several minutes to bring your heart rate into
your training zone, shown in Diagram 18.
•
After your workout, walk slowly for several minutes to cool down your body and
lower your heart rate. If possible, use the cool-down feature on your treadmill.
•
Before and after a workout, gently stretch your lower body and back to help
prevent stiffness or soreness.
Course Features and Course Descriptions
The courses on the M9.33 can be categorized into 4 different groups: infinite, fixed,
user-programmed, and preprogrammed.
An infinite -type course is not limited by time. It continues until you press the red
•
Stop button. The automatic five minute cool-down period is not appended to
these types of courses.
A fixed -type course is limited by time. The display shows the TIME remaining in
•
your workout. When you complete this type of course, the automatic five minute
cool-down period begins.
•
A user-programmed course is similar to the infinite-type courses, but you deter-
mine the speed and incline as you move through course. The speed and incline
changes are saved for future use. These types of courses include: Custom and
Interval. Two custom courses are available on the M9.33 for User 1 and User 2.
The amount of time spent in the workout session appears in the TIME display.
•
The preprogrammed courses provide preset inclines. In each course, the incline
automatically changes as you progress through the course profile. You have
complete control over the running belt speed. You can also override the incline
using the Incline
keys for each upcoming segment in the course profile. The
profile changes accordingly and the incline position is saved should you use this
course at another time. When you complete a preprogrammed course, the automatic
five minute cool-down period begins.
The progress that you make during a course is tracked by a blinking cursor. If the
column is several segments high, the entire column blinks.
The different course numbers and names appear on the following pages along with a
description of the course features.
