HOW TO USE A PERFORMANCE PROGRAM OR A TOTAL-BODY WORKOUT PROGRAM 1 Insert the key into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 10. 2 Select one of the performance programs or one of the total-body workout programs. When the key is inserted, the manual mode will be selected and the manual indicator will light. Press the Program Select button repeatedly until one of the four performance program indicators or one of the two total-body workout program indicators lights. The profiles on the console show how the speed and incline of the treadmill will change during the programs. The numbers at the left ends of the profiles show the maximum speed and incline settings for the programs. For example, the profile for the first performance program shows that the treadmill will reach a maximum incline level of 6% and a maximum speed of 4 mph during the program. When a program is selected, the program display will show a simplified profile of the program. 3 Press the Start button to start the program. A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings for the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking. Each program is divided into several time periods of different lengths. (The Time/Segment Time display shows both the time remaining in the program and the time remaining in the current period of the program.) One speed setting and one Current Period Column incline setting are pro- grammed for each period. The speed set- ting for the first period is shown in the flashing Current Period column of the program display. (The incline settings are not shown in the program display.) The speed settings for the next seven- teen periods are shown in the seventeen columns to the right. When only three seconds remain in the first period of the program, both the Current Period column and the column to the right will flash, the Time/ Segment Time display will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all speed settings will move one column to the left. The speed setting for the second period will then be shown in the flashing Current Period column and the treadmill will automatically adjust to the speed and incline settings for the second period. Note: If a total-body workout program is selected, one or more indicators will be lit in the Hand Weight display. At the end of each period, the indicators in the Hand Weight display will also move one column to the left. When a lit indicator in the Hand Weight display is above the Current Segment column of the program display, the indicator will begin to flash. While the indicator is flashing, use the included hand weights for upper-body exercise, if desired. WARNING: Using hand weights and not holding the handrails may compromise your ability to maintain your balance. Exercises using hand weights should be attempted only by experienced users. The program will continue until the speed setting for the last period is shown in the Current Period column and the Time/Segment Time display counts down to zero. The walking belt will then slow to a stop. 12
