HOW TO USE A HEART RATE WORKOUT 5. Start the workout. CAUTION: If you have heart prob- lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the heart rate workouts. If you are taking medication regularly, consult your physician to find whether the medication will affect your exercise heart rate. 1. Put on the chest pulse sensor. For best results, wear a chest pulse sensor to use a heart rate workout. See page 12 for information about the chest pulse sensor. 2. Insert the key into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 15. 3. Select a heart rate workout. To select one of the two heart rate workouts, press the Heart Rate Workouts button repeatedly. When a heart rate workout is selected, the workout duration, workout name, and maximum target heart rate will appear in the displays. In addition, a profile of the heart rate settings of the workout will scroll across the matrix. 4. Enter a target heart rate setting. The maximum target heart rate setting of the workout will appear in the Weight Loss Workouts Center display. If desired, press the Vol./HR increase and decrease buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 29). Note: If you change the maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity level of the entire workout will change. Press the Start button or the Speed increase button to start the workout. A moment after you press the button, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings of the workout. Hold the handrails and begin walking. Heart rate workouts are divided into one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for consecutive segments. During each segment of the workout, the console will compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for that segment. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the speed and/or incline will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. If your pulse is not detected during the workout, the speed and incline of the treadmill will not automatically adjust. If this occurs, see page 12. When the first segment of the workout ends, a series of tones will sound and all target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. If a new speed or incline setting is programmed for the next segment, the new speed or incline setting will appear in the display. The workout will continue in this way until the last segment of the workout ends. The walking belt will then slow to a stop. If the speed and/or incline settings are too high or too low, you can change the intensity level of the workout at any time by pressing the Speed and Incline buttons; however, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate for the current segment, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. 18
