Customize the Goal for the Calorie Goal Program
The workout goal for the Calorie Goal program can be adjusted. Once changed, the new value will be the default for future Calorie Goal workouts.
1. Push the Calorie Goal button.
2. Push the Increase or Decrease buttons to adjust the displayed calorie goal value.
The default Calorie Goal value is 300 calories and is adjusted in 50 calorie increments. 50 calories is the minimum value for a workout, 9950
calories the maximum value.
3. Push START to set the value and begin a Calorie Goal Program workout.
Target Heart Rate (HR) Program
The Target Heart Rate Program adjusts the incline to get and keep the User in the Endurance heart rate zone. When the heart rate reaches the
zone, the 30 minute workout begins.
Note: The console must be able to read the heart rate information from the Heart Rate Monitor for the program to work correctly.
1. Push the Target HR button.
2. The Console shows the TARGET HR values for the selected user. Push OK.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short
of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the
machine’s computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed on the console is an approximation and should be used
for reference only.
The Target Heart Rate program uses the age of the user prole to set the Endurance heart rate zone values. Review the user prole to be sure the
age value is correct.
Note: Be sure to allow time for your heart rate to reach the desired heart rate zone when setting the goal. The Console will display the heart
rate value based on the current User settings.
Fitness Score Display
The Fitness Score is based on an estimate of the User’s VO2 Max and calorie burn over their last ve workouts. VO2 Max estimates are calculated
using performance data (time, distance and average heart rate or an estimate of average heart rate if that data is unavailable). VO2 Max is the
maximal oxygen consumption of the aerobic physical tness of the individual, and is a determinant of the endurance capacity of the User during
prolonged exercise. ( V = Volume, O2 = Oxygen, and Max = maximum rate ).
For every workout completed that is longer than 10 minutes or a mile (1.6 km) in distance, the Console will apply those workout values toward your
Fitness Score. This value is displayed on the Fitness Score Display area of the Console.
Note: Using a Heart Rate Chest Strap provides the most accurate information to calculate the Fitness Score. A Fitness Score is provided
when a minimum of 10 minutes or 1 mile (1.6 km) of distance is done during a workout. If no heart rate is supplied, an approximation
based on the User Profile will be used to calculate the score.
The Fitness Score may change only slightly for a User that performs the same length of workout at a similar intensity level. However, if that same
User were to increase intensity over the same length of a workout, their score would increase. Since the score is based on VO2 Max (estimated),
even a small score increase shows a signicant shift in the User’s tness level.
Note: A User’s score may drop slightly if fatigue is present. With the proper combination of exercise and rest, a Users Fitness Score will rise
in a similar way to their VO2 Max. This will also be reflected in their ability to perform longer or faster workouts. Fitness Scores should
only be compared to your previous scores and not to other User Profiles.
