HOW TO USE THE FITNESS PROGRAM 4 Put on the heart rate monitor. The fitness program is designed to measure the relative fitness level you have achieved. For the best results, the fitness program should be used at a time when your energy level is high; the fitness program should not be used if you have already exercised during the day. The fitness program consists of seven 4-minute periods, and is followed by a 2-minute cool-down period. The speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically increase at the beginning of each 4-minute period. To use the fitness program, follow the steps below. Insert the key into the console.

The heart rate monitor must be worn when the fitness program is used. To put on the heart rate monitor, see HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE MONITOR on page 6. Note: The fitness program can be started without your heart rate being detected; however, the program will automatically stop if your heart rate is not detected 4 minutes after the program is started. Press the START button. When the START button is pressed, the TIME display will begin counting up and the DISTANCE DISTANCE display will show an "L 1" (level 1), indicating that the first I 4-minute period of the fitness program has begun. The incline of the treadmill will automati- cally adjust to 2.0% and the walking belt will begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the handrails and step onto the walking belt. When the first 4-minute period of the fitness program is completed, the DISTANCE display will show an "L 2," indicating that the second 4-minute period has begun. The incline and speed of the treadmill will then increase. When the second 4-minute period is completed, the DISTANCE display will show an "L 3? The incline will remain the same, but the speed will then increase. At the beginning of each 4-minute period, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automatically increase. The fitness program will continue in this manner until your heart rate reaches 70% of your theoretical maximum heart rate, and the current 4-minute period is completed. The fitness program will then be completed, regardless of how many periods remain. When the fitness program is completed, the letter "C" will appear in the DISTANCE display, indicating that the cool-down period has begun. The TIME DISTANCE LI- display will count down from 2 minutes. 14
