• Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout) allowing the user to set a predeter-
mined length of time for the workout.
Users may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, or TIME IN ZONE (only
available for heart rate programs).
For Distance, Calories, Pace, Distance Climbed, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how long it
takes to reach the goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose COOL DOWN from
the bottom of the display to go immediately into the cool down phase, or choose CHANGE WORKOUT to access a
different program. For more information, see Section 4.2, Using the Workouts, Selecting a Goal Type.
For information on how to set, and get maximum benefit from, these type of workout goals consult a Personal Trainer.
For further information on Zone Training see section 3.1, Heart Rate Zone Training, Why Heart Rate Zone Training
Exercise.

The Workout Progress screen opens automatically upon completion of the setup, signaling the user to start the workout. This
screen allows the user to monitor the progress of the workout. It provides a visual representation of the workout as it proceeds
and monitors distance, pace, elapsed time, heart rate, incline, speed, and calories expended/calories per hour.
From the Workout Progress Screen, goals including Time, Incline, Speed and Target Heart Rate* (for heart rate programs) can
be changed at any point during the workout. This screen also accesses TV viewing. Not every goal item is available in every
workout. Only valid goal times are shown and accessible in the workout progress screen during a workout.
† Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual's age.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This work-
out targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117.
