• Training Zone Monitor The training zone monitor measures the approximate intensity of your exercise. The monitor's five indicators are described below: • WARM UP & COOL DOWN-Each workout should begin with a warmup period and end with a cool-down period. (See WORKOUT GUIDELINES on pages 22 and 23.) The WARM-UP & COOL-DOWN indicator will light when your workout intensity is ideal for warming up or cooling down. • FAT BURN and MAXIMUM FAT BURN-To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time. (See BURNING FAT on page 22.) If you are exercising at the proper intensity level for burning fat, the FAT BURN or MAXIMUM FAT BURN indicator will light. HOW TO USE THE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMS AND THE INTERVAL PROGRAMS The WEIGHT LOSS programs and the INTERVAL programs automatically control the speed of the walking belt as they guide you through effective workouts. The WEIGHT LOSS programs focus on helping you to lose unwanted pounds; the INTERVAL programs are designed to build stamina. The WEIGHT LOSS programs and the INTERVAL 1 program are 20-minute programs; the INTERVAL 2 program is a 30-minute program. The graphs on the left side of the console show how the speed will change during each program. During the WEIGHT LOSS 1 program, for example, the speed will gradually increase during the first 10 minutes, and then gradually decrease during the last 10 minutes. Each program begins with a 2-minute warm-up period, and ends with a 2-minute cool-down period. Follow the steps below to use one of these programs. 1 Make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console. • AEROBIC-If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be "aerobic."

Note: If the walking belt is moving, it will slow to a stop. 3 Enter your weight, if desired. When a WEIGHT LOSS or INTERVAL program is selected, the letters "LbS" will flash in the CALO- RIES display for seven seconds; the current weight setting will then be shown. Although it is not neces- sary to enter your weight and age to use one of these programs, the CALORIES display will be more accurate if your weight and age are entered. If you want to enter your weight, see step 3 on page 11. 13
