HOW TO USE A STEP PROGRAM
1. Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page
13.
2. Select a step program.
To select a step pro-
gram, press the 10,000
Steps Program button or
the Goal increase but-
ton; if you press the
10,000 Steps Program
button, a goal of 10,000 steps will appear in the
upper display. Note: If the walking belt is moving
when the 10,000 Steps Program button is pressed,
the walking belt will slow to a stop.
Depending on your fitness level, you may desire to
walk fewer than or more than 10,000 steps. To
change the goal, press the Goal increase and de-
crease buttons. Each time a button is pressed, the
goal will change by 500 steps. Note: The goal can
be changed either before or after the program is
started.
Note: To find an appropriate starting goal, walk on
the treadmill with the manual mode selected (see
page 13), and note the number of steps that you
walk during your workout. Then, round that number
up to the nearest 500 steps. This can be a starting
goal. As your fitness level improves, you can in-
crease the goal by 500 steps every few weeks.
IMPORTANT: Always exercise at an intensity
level and for a length of time that is comfort-
able for you.
3. Press the Start button or the Speed increase
button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the walking
belt will begin to move at 2 mph. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
As you exercise, adjust the speed and incline of
the treadmill as desired by pressing the Speed and
Incline buttons.
During the program, the upper display will show
the number of steps still to be taken (unless you
have changed the display by pressing the Display
button). When only ten steps remain, the upper left
of the display will flash and a tone will sound re-
peatedly until you reach the goal. The walking belt
will then slow to a stop.
To stop the program temporarily, press the Stop
button. The time will begin to flash in the display.
To restart the program, press the Start button or the
Speed increase button. The walking belt will begin
to move at 2 mph. To end the program, press the
Stop button, remove the key, and then reinsert the
key.
