Console Operation InTErvAL ProgrAMS ovErvIEw These programs give users the best of both worlds. Lower intensity levels can provide effective fat burning while higher intensity levels can provide effective cardiovascu- lar training. The E300 combines these benefits in three effective Interval programs. InTErvAL This program simulates interval training thru a series of two hill profiles.

Console Operation STANDARD TO METRIC CONvERSION The console allows the user to display the readout in either standard or metric units depending on the user’s needs. To adjust the readout, press the PAUSE/RESET button for 2 seconds. The current readout, whether standard or metric, is displayed on the MESSAGE WINdOW.
Monitoring Your Heart Rate To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is im- portant to work within your target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association (AHA) defines this target as 60% -75% percent of the Maximum Heart Rate. The Maximum Heart Rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting the user’s age from 220.
Stretching & flexibility Flexibility is an important component of physical fitness and needs to be addressed in a resistance training program. The two main purposes for stretching are injury preven- tion and a faster rate of recovery from exercise. Stretching should be performed in both the warm up and cool down phases of a training session.
