HOW TO USE A WEIGHT LOSS WORKOUT
1. Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 14.
2. Enter your weight.
Press the Enter button. See step 2 on page 14.
Note: Always enter your weight before using a
weight loss workout; the speed and incline set-
tings of the workout will depend on the weight
setting you enter.
3. Select a weight loss workout.
To select a
weight loss
workout,
press the
Weight Loss
Workouts
button re-
peatedly. As
each weight
loss workout is selected, the approximate number
of calories to be burned, the maximum speed set-
ting, the maximum incline setting, and the duration
of the workout will flash in the display for a few
seconds. A profile of the speed settings of the
workout will scroll across the display.
4. Press the Start button to start the workout.
A moment after you press the Start button, the
treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed
and incline settings of the workout. Hold the
handrails and begin walking.
Each workout is divided into 30 or 40 one-minute
segments. One speed setting and one incline set-
ting are programmed for each segment. Note: The
same speed setting and/or incline setting may be
programmed for consecutive segments.
During the
workout, the
profile will
show your
progress.
The flashing
segment of
the profile represents the current segment of the
workout. The height of the flashing segment indi-
cates the speed setting for the current segment. At
the end of each segment, a series of tones will
sound and the next segment of the profile will begin
to flash. If a different speed or incline setting is pro-
grammed for the next segment, the speed or incline
setting will flash in the display to alert you.
If the speed or incline setting for the current seg-
ment is too high or too low, you can manually over-
ride the setting by pressing the Speed or Incline
buttons. IMPORTANT: When the current seg-
ment of the workout ends, the treadmill will au-
tomatically adjust to the speed and incline set-
tings for the next segment.
To stop the workout at any time, press the Stop
button. To restart the workout, press the Start but-
ton or the Speed increase button. The walking belt
will begin to move at 1 mph. When the next seg-
ment of the workout begins, the treadmill will auto-
matically adjust to the speed and incline settings for
that segment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment of the workout ends. The walking belt will
then slow to a stop. IMPORTANT: The calorie
goal is an estimate of the number of calories
that you will burn during the workout. The ac-
tual number of calories that you burn will de-
pend on your weight. In addition, if you manu-
ally change the speed or incline of treadmill
during the workout, the number of calories you
burn will be affected.
