The Manual course profile appears as a flat line. Use the
▼▲ keys to adjust the
incline or speed. (See pages 33 and 34 for more information on key function.) As
the user proceeds with his or her workout, a blinking segment represents his or
her position on the course.
CROSS COUNTRY COURSE
The Cross Country course is a preprogrammed 30-minute course. The incline is
predetermined. A user can make changes to the running belt speed using the
SPEED
▼▲ keys throughout the course and even the preset incline can be
overridden using the INCLINE
▲▼ keys.
INTERVAL COURSE
The interval course on the C934 lets the user select the rest and work intervals
according to his or her training regimen. Each rest interval is followed by one
work interval. The user sets the incline and speed for first rest and work interval
and the software repeats the intervals throughout the course. At any point during
the workout, the user can change the settings of the current interval by simply
pressing the
▼▲ keys. The software remembers the new settings and applies it
to the appropriate rest or work interval from that point forward.
Important: If a user entered his or her age during the Setup prompts and wears
the POLAR
®
chest strap or grasps both heart rate grips on the handrails, the user
can adjust the rest or work intervals to keep his or her heart rate in its recommended
zone. For the weight loss mode, try to maintain a heart rate at the lower end (55% of
maximum heart rate) while in the “rest” intervals and keep it at 70% of maximum
heart rate while in the “work” intervals. See Diagram 22 on page 42.
To use the interval course, take the following steps:
1.
Follow the instructions on page 37,
Quick Steps to Working Out.
2.
At the COURSE prompt, use the
▼▲ key to select INTV.
3.
Press ENTER to proceed to the next prompt. When a user finishes answer-
ing the Setup prompts, the Interval course begins.
To set the incline and speed levels for each interval, have the user take the
following steps:
1.
To program the rest interval, press the INCLINE
▼▲ keys and SPEED ▼▲
keys to change the corresponding levels. When the desired settings are dis-
played, simply continue working out—the user does not need to press ENTER.
The C934 returns to the “rest” settings at the beginning of each rest interval
until the user readjusts it or end his or her workout.
2.
The same procedure applies to specify the settings for the work interval.
The value that appears in the SEGMENT TIME field indicates the time remaining
in the current interval. Each time the C934 changes intervals, it informs the user
by displaying a message. When a user completes the time limit set for the course,
the automatic cool-down period begins.
