Exercise Preview
You can see exactly what you will accomplish prior to beginning a Manual, Preset Workout or previously recorded Custom program. An
EXERCISE PREVIEW predicts the total distance, caloric expenditure and Aerobic Points to be earned based on the time, incline and speed
you choose. After you have selected a Preset Workout, a previously-recorded Custom program or have set the speed, time and incline
parameters for a Manual program, press the CALORIES button to see the total calories you will burn or the AEROBIC POINTS button for the
number of points you will earn. Note that any adjustments to speed, time and incline will change those figures. To get calorie or Aerobic
Point information while exercising, press the corresponding button.
Aerobic Points
One of the main reasons people stop exercising is because they don't see the physical changes they expected. Results, however, can only
be realized when you are training properly. For this reason, the Aerobic Point System has been incorporated into the design of PaceMaster
treadmills since 1968.
The Aerobic Point System was developed by Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the Father of Aerobics and renowned founder of The Cooper Aerobics
Center in Dallas, TX, to measure the aerobic benefit of the workout. Dr. Cooper's formula compares the energy costs of aerobic activity
from the mathematical relationships between the oxygen expenditures assigned to each exercise at a given intensity and duration. This
formula is built into the ProPlus
Dr. Cooper states in his book, The Aerobics Program For Total Well Being; "The main idea of this system is that, in order to stay in good
shape and move toward a goal of total well-being, a person must earn a certain number of points each week by doing a certain amount of
aerobic exercise." His research has determined that a man should work up to a minimum of 32 points per week and a woman should work
up to a minimum of 27 points per week. The number of weekly points you earn correlates with your level of fitness. The fitness categories
are:
If you have not been on a regular exercise program, it is highly recommended that you gradually work up to your desired fitness category
and then develop a maintenance program.
You can see the number of AEROBIC POINTS you will earn prior to beginning your program by pressing the AEROBIC POINTS button. To
design a program based on the number of AEROBIC POINTS you want to earn, follow the instructions below for PERSONAL ELECTRONIC
TRAINER.
Personal Electronic Trainer
Another feature exclusive to PaceMaster treadmills is the PERSONAL ELECTRONIC TRAINER. You can create a workout based on the
number of Aerobic Points you want to earn or the number of calories you want to burn.
To create a workout based on Aerobic Points:
Step One:
Determine how many times a week you will be exercising and how many weekly points you want to earn. For example, if you plan on
exercising 4 times a week and your goal is to earn 32 points that week, you will need to earn 8 points per workout.
Step Two:
Press the AEROBIC POINTS button.
Step Three:
Enter your workout time and warm up and/or cool down, if desired.
Step Four:
Enter speed. You will begin to see the number of Aerobic points you will earn in the DATA display window as you increase the speed.
To create a workout based on calorie expenditure, determine how many calories you want to burn. Press the CALORIES button and follow
steps 3 and 4 above.
