play several Setup prompts. At the course prompt, you select #1 — Manual
course.
The Manual course profile appears as a flat line. Use the
keys to adjust the incline or speed. (See pages 29 and 30 for more information
on the different key's function.) As you proceed with your workout, a blinking
cell represents your position on the course.

THE TRACK COURSE

The C956 Track course presents an oval as the course profile. The "lap" count
appears on the inside of the oval and a blinking segment indicates your posi-
tion on the track. One loop around the track represents 440 yards (0.25 miles)
or 400 meters.
You can continue (counterclockwise) around the track for the duration of the course

INTERVAL COURSE

The 3 interval courses on the C956 let you select the rest and work intervals
according to your training regimen. In the 1-3 interval course, each rest interval is
followed by 3 work intervals. In the 1-2 interval course, each rest interval is fol-
lowed by 2 work intervals. In the 1-1 interval course, each rest interval is
followed by 1 work interval. You set the incline and speed for first rest and work
interval and the software repeats the intervals throughout the course. At any
point during the workout, you can change the settings of the current interval by
simply pressing the
settings and applies it to the appropriate rest or work interval.
Important: If you entered your Age during the Setup prompts and wear the
®
POLAR chest strap or utilize the "touch" heart rate, you can adjust the rest or
work intervals to keep your heart rate in its recommended zone. For the weight
loss mode, try to maintain your heart rate at the lower end (55% of maximum
heart rate) while in the "rest" intervals and keep it at 70% of maximum heart
rate while in the "work" intervals. See Diagram 16 on page 37.
