Treadmills

Eight Challenging Preset Workouts plus Three Custom Programs

Exercise pros understand that varying your workouts is an important strategy for reaching your fitness goals. When routines are repeated too frequently, two things tend to happen: 1) Your body may plateau because it becomes too familiar with the program you're following; 2) You may lose enthusiasm for exercising which will delay the achievement of your goals.

With such a wide variety of programs to choose from, you'll look forward to your treadmill workouts. Choose a different program with every session to keep your body and mind refreshed. Each is customizable to meet your own personal fitness level.

P1: Target Time Select the amount of time you wish to exercise on the treadmill. Speed and incline can be adjusted during the entire workout. The speed will start from 2.0 MPH and the incline will start from level 0. Distance and calories will count up from 0 while time counts down from the target.

P2: Target Distance Select the total distance the program will run. Speed and incline can be adjusted during the entire workout. The speed will start from 2.0 MPH and the incline will start from level 0. Time and calories will count up from 0 while distance counts down from the target.

P3: Target Calories Select the number of calories you wish to burn during the treadmill workout. Speed and incline can be adjusted during the entire workout. The speed will start from 2.0 MPH and the incline will start from level 0. Distance and time will count up from 0 while calories count down from the target.

P4: Interval Incline Interval training allows you to alternate between pumping up the heart and catching your breath. Choose a workout level from 1 thru 12. The higher the level, the higher the incline levels during the workout. The Time LCD shows a preset workout time of 24 minutes, which can be adjusted higher or lower in four-minute segments. Incline is changed automatically every two minutes during the workout.

P5: Interval Speed Just like the Interval Incline program, only you optimize your treadmill workout through a variation of speed.

P6: Weight Loss This program combines variations in both the speed and incline to provide the maximum results in weight loss and calories burned. The user chooses a workout intensity level between 1 and 12. The Time LCD shows a pre-set workout time of 24 minutes; which can be adjusted higher or lower in five-minute increments. Both speed and incline will change during the workout; the minimum speed/incline segments last two minutes, and the maximum speed/incline segments last three minutes. For example: at Level 1, speed varies from 1.6 mph to 2.8 mph while incline ranges from 0 to 3; Level 12 speed varies from 3.8 mph to 5.0 mph while incline ranges from 0 to 15.

P7: 5K Self-Learning/Competition The Distance LCD will show 3.1 miles or 5 km. For new users, there is a preset speed (2 mph) and incline level program in the computer. You can change the speed and incline levels during your workout. The distance will count down to zero and then stop.

P8: Heart Rate Control Program This program consists of a Warm-up, Main Program and Cool Down. The treadmill determines a preset maximum target heart rate based upon your sex, height, weight and age, or you can adjust it to whatever maximum target workout rate you want. (This should be subject to the user's physical condition and determined after consulting with a physician.) Once you start, the program takes you through a mild warm-up routine, through a powerful workout and through a cool-down phase for a complete cardio program.

P9, P10, P11: User-Defined Custom Programs Create up to three routines for future treadmill workout sessions.
