TYPES OF WORKOUT SETUP SCREENS<br />

GOAL SETUP SCREENS<br />

• Goal Type: The default setting of Goal Type is TIME (length of workout) allowing the user to set a predetermined<br />

length of time for the workout.<br />

<strong>User</strong>s may also choose a more advanced Goal Type such as DISTANCE, CALORIES, or TIME IN ZONE (only<br />

available for heart rate programs).<br />

For Distance, Calories, Pace, and Time in Zone, the length of the workout depends on how long it takes to reach the<br />

goal. The workout continues until the goal is met. To exit early, either choose COOL DOWN from the bottom of the display<br />

to go immediately into the cool down phase, or choose CHANGE WORKOUT to access a different program. For<br />

more information, see Section 4.2, Using the Workouts, Selecting a Goal Type.<br />

For information on how to set, and get maximum benefit from, these type of workout goals consult a Personal Trainer.<br />

For further information on Zone Training see section 3.1, Why Heart Rate Zone Training Exercise?<br />

• Level: Choose the programmed resistance level of the workout. Levels range from 1 to 25.<br />

• Target Heart Rate*: (heart rate workouts only) Gives a recommended heart rate according to age. For Fat<br />

Burn, the target heart rate is computed at 65% of the theoretical maximum † heart rate. For Cardio, the target<br />

heart rate is computed at 80%. For more information on Target Heart Rate, see Section 3, Heart Rate Zone<br />

Training Exercise.<br />

VALUE SETUP SCREENS<br />

• Weight: Entering an accurate weight allows calories to be calculated, and enables Calories Burned, Calories per<br />

Hour, and METs to appear on the Workout Screen.<br />

• Age: Allows heart rate programs to accurately determine target heart rate.<br />

• Gender: Used in the Fit Test prediction equation and associated fitness rating.<br />

†<br />

Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.<br />

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user’s recommended THR for the HEART RATE HILL and<br />

HEART RATE INTERVAL workouts is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.<br />
