Custom User Set-up Programs:
There are two user programs that provide you with the ability to
establish customized program profiles specific to your workout requirements. For each user set-up program, first
set the workout time then set weight, speed, and incline for each segment in the program profile by pressing
either the up and down arrows for speed and incline. After obtaining your desired selections press enter to move
to the next column in the program profile. This program will now be saved for you each time you select it and
press the start button.
My Zone Heart Rate Control Programs:
The TR7000i/TR8000i treadmill comes with two types of heart
rate control programs – Constant and Interval and within each of these you can select either a Speed control
option or an Incline control option. There is a 3 minute warm up for this program prior to the treadmill taking
control of the speed or incline. Note: To use the Heart Rate Control programs the treadmill needs to receive your
heart rate throughout the entire workout either through using the grip pulse pads or a chest strap heart rate
transmitter.
Constant Heart Rate Control:
The Constant program lets you select a single heart rate that you want to
maintain throughout your workout and the treadmill will maintain this heart rate for you by either adjusting the
speed or incline. After selecting the Constant Heart Rate program the next selection option will be Incline Mode
or Speed Mode. Select which mode you prefer and the treadmill will adjust the speed or incline every 10 seconds
to keep you at your selected heart rate level. For instance, if you select the incline mode there will be a 3 minute
warm up and then the incline will start to adjust each 10 seconds to obtain and maintain your target heart rate.
You choose the speed that you want the belt to run and the treadmill will control the incline. Typically for Weight
Loss set the target heart rate at 65% of your predicted maximum heart rate and for Cardio Training set the target
at 80% of your predicted maximum.
Interval Heart Rate Control:
The Interval program is designed to help you increase your aerobic
endurance and improve hear rate recover. This program lets you select a LOW or recover target heart rate and a
HIGH target. After a 3 minutes warm-up the console will adjust the speed or incline, which ever you select, every
10 seconds to maintain your LOW target to 2 minutes. Then the console will adjust the speed or incline to raise
your heart rate to the HIGH target that you selected and once again keep it at this level for 2 minutes and then
repeat the process until the end of the workout. It is recommended that you set the workout time to 20 minutes
or higher to use this program effectively.
Reverse Walking (TR8000i only):
The TR8000i treadmill's reverse walking program can provide multiple
health benefits to users. Reverse ambulation, or walking backwards, has been found to increase flexibility of the
hamstrings, reduce certain compressive loads on the knees (specifically the kind that negatively affect those
recovering from meniscus or osteoarthritis), improve traditional walking speed, and improve body composition
through increased calorie burn.
