About Your Treadmill
Long Slow Distance 2
(40 minute default)
Compared to the Long Slow
Distance 1 program, this workout expedites the rate of increasing exertion,
allowing for more workout time to be spent at higher levels of intensity.
Cardio Run
(20 minute default)
Cardio Run is a steady pace
workout but at a higher intensity than "Long Slow Distance". Cardio Run
is a more advanced workout, designed to motivate you to achieve a more
challenging steady pace and maintain that pace for the full duration of the
workout. Cardio Run is a great workout if you are training for a special event.
Short Interval 2
(20 minute default)
Short interval workouts have been
found in research studies to be
ideal for those striving to lose weight and improve cardiovascular fi tness.
Varying exercise intensity from a moderately slow level to a high intensity for
a set period of time and repeating that progression for a complete workout
will maximize the number of calories burned. The short interval recovery
periods allows the body to more successfully exercise at a higher intensity
than might otherwise be comfortable for a complete workout duration.
Uphill Walk
(30 minute default)
The uphill walk gradually increases
the intensity of your exercise
peaking at a high intensity. The goal of the uphill workout is to stimulate
your body to improve overall cardiovascular fi tness, while also maximizing
muscle cell development. The Uphill Walk has been designed to start slow
and gradually increase to a peak intensity then with a quick decrease back
to a recovery level. You will maximize calorie burn during the peak intensity
levels while allowing your body to exercise for longer periods.

Custom User Programs
There are two user programs that provide you with the ability to build
custom program profi les for your specifi c workout requirements. In Custom
User Programs you set the workout time and then for each of the 20
program segments you set the speed and incline. This program is diff erent
than our preset programs in that both speed and incline can be controlled
simultaneously. As such, the program matrix display readout will show both
incline and speed at the same time with the incline on the left portion of the
matrix and the speed on the right portion of the matrix.
Heart Rate Control Programs
Constant Heart Rate
The Constant Heart Rate program is a steady state program that lets you
select a single heart rate to maintain throughout your workout. The treadmill
will adjust the belt speed or incline every 10 seconds during the workout to
maintain your heart rate close to the target you've selected.
Interval Heart Rate
The Interval Heart Rate program is designed to help you increase aerobic
endurance and improve heart rate recovery. This program lets you select
a LOW or recovery target heart rate and a High target. After the 3 minute
warm-up the console will adjust the speed or incline every 10 seconds to
maintain your LOW target for 2 minutes. Then the console will adjust the
speed or incline to raise your heart rate to the high target selected and once
again keep it at this level for 2 minutes. The process will repeat until the
end of the workout. It is recommended that you set the workout time to 30
minutes or higher to use this program eff ectively.
Note: Remember that the console needs to receive your heart
rate through the grip pulse or a heart rate chest strap during the
course of the workout.
