Exercising With Free Workout - Yamaha BodiBeat BF-11 Owner's Manual

Walking/Jogging at Your Own Pace—Free Workout Mode

Exercising with Free Workout

The Free Workout mode is an easy, convenient way to exercise using the
versatile tempo changing features of the BF-11, since it automatically matches
the music to your exercise pace.
n
Keep in mind that it takes a few seconds to detect your pace and call up a song that matches your
pace.
h
If you find that songs change frequently or few songs matching your pace are called up, adjust the
sensitivity of the step sensor and/or the pace censor
Operation
1
From the Free Workout menu, select "Start," then start jogging or
walking.
You can set the goal setting (targets for your exercise) and/or select a specific
music playlist for the session. If you want to do so, select "Setting" here and
go to page 27
Once you set the goal setting, it will be shown in the "Start" menu the next time
you use the device, enabling you to continue with the same exercise settings
as before.
n
If the pulse sensor is not attached properly or if your heart rate cannot be detected
(that is, when the LED is off), heart rate is not memorized in the exercise log
(page 29). Reattach the pulse sensor properly and make sure that your pulse is being
measured.
n
For playback of certain songs (and depending, of course, on the characteristics of those
songs), you may find that the song tempo does not match your pace. If this is the case, you can
manually correct the tempo information with the BODiBEAT Station software. For details, refer to
the BODiBEAT Station Owner's Manual.
2
While you're jogging or walking, you can change the volume of the
music, select different songs, or lock the pace.
See "Operation During Exercise" on

You can also stop the session by holding both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons
together.

playback stops automatically and the log display appears.
